Brut Gnome 1 Posted September 24, 2011 Good morrow and Huzzah! The writing was on the wall for this one, and if you drafted Gates, you did not heed my warnings from rotognome.com. The site is now down, but I warned all across the land that these injuries linger. Find yourself a Scott Chandler, Jermaine Gresham, or the like and hope for the best.

Kingstowne Dealers 14 Posted September 24, 2011 I traded away Reggie Bush for Gates a couple of weeks ago. But now I'm screwed, I dropped Fred Davis to make room for Gates :cry: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giants Fan 85 Posted September 24, 2011 Also going TE early this year has mostly been a huge fail. I had Gates, Finley and Witten targeted in my auction draft. Gates and Finley went for too much, so I settled on Witten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RenoKid 0 Posted September 25, 2011 Gates won't play according to ProFootballTalk. Better info than hehe or better info based on the source I used. Weak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robb 71 Posted September 25, 2011 Again....with Gates out, does McMichael have a good game? Possibly better than, say a Scheffler? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aaaa 0 Posted September 25, 2011 Yikes. I'm looking at Scheffler, King, or McMichael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DexterMorgan 5 Posted September 25, 2011 What were McMichael's stats last year while Gates was out? Thinking about playing him over Kellen Winslow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plasma george 52 Posted September 25, 2011 What were McMichael's stats last year while Gates was out? Thinking about playing him over Kellen Winslow. I don't know about McDaniel, seems he might be a great blocker today, and run routes to pull coverage. I was able to pickup Fred Davis, I think the Cooley factor had Wash TE flying under the radar, that boy has some stats through 2 games ! Will be nice to have points rom my TE slot.

bgard72 10 Posted September 25, 2011 Latest from Rotoworld... ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that there is a tear in Antonio Gates' foot, and he won't be playing Sunday against Kansas City. The tear is believed to be to Gates' plantar fascia. He was able to play through the same injury at times last year, but ultimately had to shut it down for good later in the season. It's a major concern for Gates' fantasy value moving forward. Multiple reports now claim that Gates will be inactive against the Chiefs. Vincent Jackson projects as the primary beneficiary in terms of production. Randy McMichael will be the starting tight end. Sep 25 - 12:20 PM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kent 228 Posted September 25, 2011 Torn plantar...he's gonna shut it down again for the year at some point. What is the TE backups value? Is it McMichael in San Diego? Who is the other TE??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Mueller 146 Posted September 25, 2011 Yikes. I'm looking at Scheffler, King, or McMichael I've got Evan Moore in but all those guys are available too. I've got no idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted September 25, 2011 Not good news for Gates owners...............the Gates owner in my league is in denial. I tried to tell him Gates wasn't playing this week on Friday afternoon and he didn't believe me. He wasn't interested in a deal for Finley (I have Gronk) so another week of nothing and we'll see how interested he is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
