Gronkowski secured one of three targets for 29 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gronkowski once again was firmly down the list in terms of targets, as his relatively underwhelming start to the season carried over into a fourth game Sunday. The former Patriot legend's profile in the offense appeared to be on the rise after a season-high six-catch tally Week 3, but he was back down to a minor role Sunday despite gaining impressive yardage on his one reception. However, the season-ending Achilles injury suffered by O.J. Howard late in Sunday's contest could change that dynamic beginning with a road matchup against the Bears on Thursday night.
