While the news that New England Patriots All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski will miss Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles because of a knee injury is not good for the team, per ESPN.com's Mike Reiss, it does benefit Scott Chandler's fantasy owners.
Chandler's first season in the NFL was back in 2007, but he battled injuries and roster cuts for years. Ever since he became a regular for the Buffalo Bills in 2011, though, he has put up respectable numbers, especially for a tight end:
| Year | Team | GP | GS | Targets | Receptions | Yards | TD |
| 2011 | Buffalo | 14 | 9 | 46 | 38 | 389 | 6 |
| 2012 | Buffalo | 15 | 13 | 74 | 43 | 571 | 6 |
| 2013 | Buffalo | 16 | 7 | 81 | 53 | 655 | 2 |
| 2014 | Buffalo | 16 | 5 | 70 | 47 | 497 | 3 |
| 2015 | New England | 11 | 4 | 34 | 19 | 198 | 3 |
Even playing backup to the game's best tight end in New England, Chandler has managed to haul in three scores this year, including one in a Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos.
