You have to make it a game time decision for Howard. If there is no word on Gronk when Howard's game is starting.....I think you have to start Howard. Or else you're leaving yourself open to having a brutal TE on MNF.
10 tm PPR.
I know Gronk usually balls out against Buffalo, but he has several factors going against him (injuries, lower tgt share, Mon night game, etc) that make me nervous. He definitely has the higher ceiling, but I love my backup's matchup (OJ Howard v Cin).
Do I just play Gronk because you don't sit Gronk when he's active?

You start Gronk only IF he has been 100 percent guaranteed to play by Saturday night. If there is even the slightest chance that he is not playing... then you are starting Howard.
Its hedging to make sure you have at least a serviceable TE playing in your matchup.
This is the problem with games being Thursday and Monday.
