What It Means:

It's a new injury for Gates, but limited practice suggests it's not serious. Gates has seen at least nine targets the last three games and remains a good weekly bet for heavy red-zone usage and touchdown catches. Henry suffered his knee injury in Week 7, which could explain his reduced role before sitting out last week. Henry had been passed by Gates as the Chargers' primary tight end before getting hurt, however.

Our models project Gates as the eighth-best tight end for fantasy this week, with 54 receiving yards and 0.44 touchdowns on 4 receptions.
