Antonio Gates

Antonio Gates suspended for first four games of season

Chargers tight end Antonio Gates will be suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

What It Means:

Make sure to downgrade Gates on your draft board. At 35 years old, Gates is not the fantasy option he once was, but he still scored 12 touchdowns last season. Gates is still a low end number one tight end option when he plays. Ladarius Green will step in as the starting tight-end in the first four games of the year and could hold onto the job if he develops a report with Rivers.
