Need to beat this guy...Eifert or Gates?

[icy_water 4]

I am going up against the most pompous guy in our league. You know the type, condescending about how he is superior to everyone else and we are lucky just to be around him. Anyway, I need to beat this guy and need a little help at the TE position.

 

Eifert was highly touted this year and has had two good games. Unfortunately his good games were the first two games and the last two he has a total of 3 catches combined. This week he is home vs. Seattle.

 

Gates hasn't played a game yet this year and I have no idea what to expect. At his best he is a monster but with 3 of 5 O linemen out I could see a heavy day of blocking for Gates or maybe they keep him on a snap count if he isn't up to the task of blocking.

 

Just not sure, do you trust Gates out of the gate or do you trust the highly touted one that hasn't done a thing for two weeks now? Please give me a reason of which one and lets beat this douche and shut him down for at least a week.

 

Thanks, leave a link and I WILL answer.

Roll with Angry Antonio vs. Pit

SEA def is tough vs. TE's.

Yeah, Phillip Rivers likes TE he got Green good games he played and TE Phillips did ok too.

 

Main concern is Kam, Thomas and Wagner not a great formula for TEs... Gates is the gate to your victory.

Nice post...Fortunately I did that to "that guy" in our league week before last...my brother-in-law! Not a slam-dunk decision but after seeing Cincy's last two games, I'd go with Gates. Eifert is good but Dalton has Green, Jones, Sanu...and even Bernard....limiting the need to look for Eifert. Gates has plenty of motivation and is healthy after missing games...assuming he's in good shape at his age...and he has the proven record with Rivers. Likewise, Stevie Johnson may be out...so one less tool for Rivers. See mine:
