Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Gronkowski tore both his ACL and MCL in a game against the Cleveland Browns on Dec. 8. Surgery on the ACL was delayed to allow time for the MCL to heal. The surgery gives Gronkowski a 6½-month window until the projected start of 2014 training camp in late July. Similar to 2013, Gronkowski's status at the start of training camp –- and if he opens the season on the physically unable to perform list (which seems likely) -- will be closely monitored.
