Antonio Gates Held Out Of Practice Again: Fantasy Implications
Antonio Gates missed practice again on Thursday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fantasy Impact: It seems to be more of a precautionary measure than any actual concern that he may miss Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. Aside from a couple drops, Gates looked like his old self in Week 1, and is still a reliable TE1 in most fantasy league formats. He could have a big day against a Titans defense that had no answer for Aaron Hernandez or Rob Gronkowski last week.
