Is Gronk sitting this week you think?

Championship week (I know, I know, talk to the commish because he won't listen to me) but I can't tell if Gronk is going to play this week or not. Yahoo has him projected at 3.5 points but I can't find anything that says he will be sitting out this week or a half or anything.
Anyone have any insight on Gronks status this week? I've held on to Kelce all season and have him if needed.

Best info I could find:
ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss suggests the Patriots may not play their starters the whole game during Sunday's regular season finale against the Bills.
The Patriots clinched the AFC's No. 1 seed when the Broncos lost to the Bengals on Monday night. Reiss suspects the Patriots could view this game "similar to a fourth preseason contest when the third preseason game doesn't go as well as planned." That could mean trying to "develop some momentum" on offense and if that happens, pulling guys like Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski for the second half. Of course, Bill Belichick has been known to keep his foot on the gas in tons of low-priority situations, so no one knows for sure what will happen. But there's certainly risk in using any Patriots this week.

Well thats better info than I could find. Thanks for checking that out, unfortunately it's not what I wanted to hear. But it is typical for week 17. This commissioner is so hard headed.
Now it's a roll the dice situation in the championship game. Damnit.

In these situations, I try to figure out if a player who plays a half a game is better statistically than one playing a whole game. I'd lean toward Kelce, but it's a tough decision. Good luck!

Newest update:
The Boston Globe's Ben Volin believes Rob Gronkowski will receive "little-to-no playing time" in the Patriots' season finale against the Bills.
With nothing on the line Week 17, it makes little sense for the Patriots to play their dynamic but oft-injured tight end. Gronkowski could very well put up a goose egg Week 17, making him unplayable in both seasonal and daily formats. Tim Wright will likely see a bump in snaps with Gronk limited, but would be a poor option against the Bills' suffocating pass defense.

The Patriots don't rest their starters. They do this every year. Now they may play into the 4th quarter and let Gray/Blount run the clock out.
Go look at past week 17 games when they had the division wrapped up. The starters played into the late 3rd
