Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski earned a one-game suspension for his late hit on Tre'Davious White, the NFL announced Monday. While New England should be fine without him, it couldn't come at a worse time for fantasy football owners.
Gronkowski is one of the best and most consistent performers at a position that doesn't have too many players you can trust. He is also coming off his two best showings of the season, tallying 229 yards and two touchdowns in the past two weeks.
Now fantasy owners will have to play without him for likely the first round of the fantasy playoffs or the final week of the regular season.
