SD TE Antonio Gates - Week 9, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Tennessee
With Hunter Henry coming off a concussion, Antonio Gates finally had a bigger day last week. He caught four balls for 33 yards and a TD, his third of the year and first since Week 5. Gates and Henry finally seem to hurting each other's fantasy stock for the first time this year. We now move Gates back ahead of Hunter on our list, and Hunter may not be 100-percent coming off his concussion. This week, Gates is the better play according to our rankings. It's a nice matchup against the Titans, who are just 25th in allowing fantasy points to TEs, but Gates' fantasy value still seems kind of capped with Henry around.

SD TE Antonio Gates - Week 8, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Denver
With Hunter Henry likely sidelined with a concussion, Antonio Gates will be back as the team's TE1 this week. Gates has been back for three weeks, but has been passed by Henry on the depth chart. Gates caught five balls for 38 yards last week on 10 targets, but comes in this week ranked 17th on our TE list. The Broncos are fifth in allowing fantasy points to TEs, so this isn't a great matchup. Two weeks ago, Gates had just two catches for 16 yards and over his last four games is only averaging a little over four catches a game for about 38 yards a game.

SD TE Antonio Gates - Week 7, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Atlanta
Antonio Gates caught two balls for 16 yards last week, but did have six targets. Hunter Henry stole the show with another big game, scoring a TD in his third-straight contest. Gates is just 16th on our TE list week and isn't quite 100-percent. Henry is the better play right now, and Gates comes with risks if you need to start him. However, he did have a TD in Week 5, so he remains a red zone target.

SD TE Antonio Gates - Week 6, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Denver
Antonio Gates caught four balls for 30 yards and a TD in his return last week. He only played on 35 percent of the snaps, however, so it's tough to tell if he was eased back in or if Hunter Henry will continue to get a majority of the snaps.

This week is going to be tough to gauge anything as the Broncos are third in allowing fantasy points to TEs. We have Gates down the list at 18th, with Henry just two spots higher at 16. This could be a tricky situation, and on a short week in a tough matchup, owners may want to stay away from Gates this week.

SD TE Antonio Gates - Week 3, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Indianapolis
Antonio Gates caught three balls for 15 yards last week, but fortunately added a TD among his five targets. Gates again gets a TE1 rank this week in what is a real nice matchup against the Colts, who are 23rd in allowing fantasy points to TEs. A lot of points could be scored in this contest, so Gates is shaping up to be a good play. The concern of owners right now is averaging just three catches the first two weeks with a total of nine targets. Teams are now able to focus more on Gates with Keenan Allen and Danny Woodhead out for the year. Gates has some great matchups straight through Week 9, so he's worth keeping around at least until then.

SD TE Antonio Gates - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Jacksonville
Antonio Gates caught just three passes for 20 yards last week and was targeted just four times. It wasn't a great game for Gates' owners but the Chargers jumped out to a quick lead on rushing TDs.

Gates owners may have caught a bit of a break with the loss of WR Keenan Allen for the year. That could mean a few more looks for Gates going forward, perhaps especially in the red zone. Gates gets a great matchup this week against the Jags who enter 27th in allowing fantasy points to TEs. As a result, Gates is all the way up to fourth on our TE list making him a must-play. The Jags D is supposed to be improved this year, but Gates is coming off a 4-53-2 (6) game in 2015 against Jacksonville so it's as good a time as any to play Gates.

SD TE Antonio Gates - Week 1, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Kansas City
After being suspended for the first two weeks of the 2015 season, Antonio Gates came back strong with two combined games of 18-187-2 (27) in Weeks 5 and 6. He missed Week 7 and was up and down after that for most of the rest of the season. He finished with 56 catches for 630 yards and 5 TDs with 85 targets.

Gates opens 2016 with a pretty tough matchup against the Chiefs who were third in 2015 in allowing fantasy points to TEs. Gates' first matchup against KC last year was a clunker with just one catch for six yards, but in Week 14 he caught six balls for 76 yards. In 2014 Gates totaled a line of 7-128-1 (11) in two games, which is pretty solid. Despite the Chiefs high rank vs. TEs, Gates is at least a solid low-TE1 play (10th on our TE list) for those who waited and took him late in drafts.
