Will Gronk actually play this week or what...my fantasy team needs a resurgence.

ESPN's Ed Werder reports the Patriots no longer expect Rob Gronkowski (back, questionable) to play in Week 6 against the Saints.
Gronkowski's timetable for return is murkier than ever amid reports the Patriots now have concerns over the stability of his several-times surgically-repaired forearm. The Pats will continue to play three-receiver offense, with Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman in the slot/Z roles and Kenbrell Thompkins at X. Gronkowski owners need not panic and drop him, but he's certainly testing patience. There's still a lot of season left, of course. Oct 11 - 6:02 Pm
According to the Boston Globe, Rob Gronkowski's (arm surgeries) return date is "mostly up to Gronkowski" because the Patriots have cleared him to play.
Gronk's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, uses Dr. James Andrews for second opinions, however, and Andrews has not cleared Gronkowski to play. Therefore, Gronk isn't playing almost strictly on his own volition. It's an odd series of events because Andrews is not an expert on arm injuries; he's aknee surgeon. The Patriots are currently 31st in the NFL in red-zone scoring, so they need red-zone beast Gronkowski. His return date is simply up in the air.
