Rob Gronkowski hasn't seen the field much this season, and his fantasy football owners are fed up.

After missing the first two games completely, Gronk received limited snaps in Weeks 3 and 4 as he continues to recover from a hamstring ailment. He's only made one catch on three targets for 11 yards; not exactly what fantasy players expected when they presumably drafted him in one of the first few rounds.

While discussing his recovery process, Gronkowski opened about these strangers voicing their displeasure. Apparently, fantasy footballers aren't hiding behind social media accounts to do so. From Tom Pelissero of USA TODAY Sports:

Gronk on angry fantasy owners: “I can't even go to the grocery store without getting yelled at.” Message to them? “It's real football.”

It's one thing to privately be upset about a player on your fantasy team not producing. You can even discuss your anger with friends. But to actually call out Rob for something he can't control (his recovery timetable) is pretty low. These people should re-evaluate themselves.

Of course, eventually Gronkowski will return to the field at full tilt, and when he starts producing, these anger fantasy owners will have their mouths shut. One can hope they trade Gronk just before he comes back, so they don't get to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
