Worn wheel bearing or hub assembly. Jack the car up so that the wheel is off the ground. Put one hand on top of the tire and one hand on the bottom. Try to rock the wheel by pulling/pushing. If the wheel moves in and out or rocks the bearings are bad. Since the rotor sits on the hub assembly which isn't supposed to rock back and forth it is able to clear the caliper bracket. On a worn hub the rotor is able to move slightly causing the rotor to rub against the caliper bracket.
