Fantasy Football: Rob Gronkowski out again?

FOXBOROUGH, Mass., Sept. 20 (UPI) -- You probably aren't too happy if you selected Rob Gronkowski in the first round of your fantasy football draft.

The New England Patriots tight end has missed the first two games of the season, possibly crippling your fantasy team early on in the season.

Gronkowski said Tuesday that he "feels decent." His availability for the Patriots' Thursday contest against the Houston Texans is again in question, but Gronkowski told WEEI's Ryan Hannable that it's a "coaches decision if he plays."

The All-Pro pass catcher has been limited in practice most of the season. His final status for the game becomes official at 7 p.m. Thursday. Gronkowski scored 11 touchdowns last season and 12 touchdowns in 2014.

Bill Belichick could hold off on starting Gronkowski this week, giving him another week off while the team faces a non-divisional opponent. Newly acquired Martellus Bennett is playing well in Gronk's absence.

Gronkowski said that he is "satisfied" with his improvement, according to CSN New England. Make sure you have a back-up plan for Gronkowski again in Week 3. You can find some of those options by reading the Week 3 Add/Drops before Waiver Wire Wednesday.
