Antonio Gates Held Out Of Practice: Fantasy Implications
San Diego Chargers tight end Antonio Gates was held out of practice on Wednesday with a rib injury. We breakdown the fantasy implications.
Fantasy Analysis: The tough thing about Gates' injury is that he is a great fantasy player at a position where there are only a handful of top fantasy performers. So owners of Gates understand that he is a must-start when healthy. In the meantime, this is a friendly reminder to watch Gates' status this week as they head into their match against the Tennessee Titans. Typically, rib injuries, though painful, can be played through, so there is a good chance Gates is good to go this weekend.
