Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon, More Fantasy Outlook After Rob Gronkowski's Injury

Another injury to Rob Gronkowski will force fantasy owners to take a closer look at some of the other options New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will be targeting now that his leading pass-catcher is not expected to take the field this week.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Saturday the Patriots are expected to hold the Pro Bowl tight end out of Sunday's contest against the Chicago Bears as he deals with back and ankle injuries.

Most notably, Gronkowski's absence could lead to bigger games from the many receivers on the roster.

Julian Edelman figures to be a primary target with or without Gronk on the field.
