Quiet performance despite absences Gronkowski secured one of two targets for 23 yards in the Buccaneers' 32-6 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact The prospect of Gronkowski seeing only a pair of looks in a game the Buccaneers played without their top two receivers and a prolific pass-catching back was highly improbable coming in, but that's precisely what transpired. Gronkowski checked in a distant fourth in targets overall for his second consecutive underwhelming performance. Nevertheless, with Chris Godwin and Leonard Fournette both on injured reserve with knee and hamstring injuries, respectively, Gronkowski figures to have a good chance of bouncing back in Week 17 on the road versus the vulnerable Jets.

Blanketed in coverage Gronkowski caught just two of his 11 targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 9-0 loss to New Orleans.

Impact The Buccaneers lost wideouts Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (knee) in the first half, leaving Gronkowski as Tom Brady's top receiving option for the rest of the contest. The Saints took advantage of this knowledge, focusing its defensive focus on the tight end and limiting his second-half production to just one catch (nine targets) for 10 yards. Gronk may be asked to shoulder the receiving load again if Evans and Godwin are unable to go against the Panthers next Sunday, with his fantasy managers hoping for a better rate of success on a similarly-high volume of targets.

Five receptions in win Gronkowski secured five of nine targets for 62 yards in the Buccaneers' 33-27 overtime win over the Bills on Sunday.

Impact Gronkowski was third behind on the team Chris Godwin and Mike Evans in receptions and receiving yards, and he checked in second in targets behind Godwin's 15. The veteran tight end has no fewer than four receptions in any non-injury-shortened game this season and has logged at least eight targets in four consecutive contests, sending him into a Week 15 Sunday night divisional clash versus the Saints with plenty of momentum.
