TE Antonio Gates Seeing Double & Triple Team Coverage

Sep 15, 2010

The most hopeful way to put it is that the Chargers have to learn to play without Jackson.

Tight end Antonio Gates hasn't seen double teams (even triple teams) like that since before Jackson was who he became and Chris Chambers arrived in October 2007. After Gates caught a 34-yard pass and then a four-yard touchdown on the Chargers’ second possession, the Chiefs decided to make life difficult on Gates.

“Their coverage looked like guys covering a gunner on punts,” Rivers said of the Chiefs attempting to rough up Gates at the line of scrimmage.

Fantasy Impact:

Bad news for Gates' owners, good news for GMs that want to take a chance on WRs Malcom Floyd or Legedu Naanee.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
