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