Antonio Gates owners had to deal with the news that he would not play in week 14. With a short week, do not expect Gates to suit up in week 15 either.
Analysis: Coach Norv Turner said: “I always hold out hope with Antonio, but at some point you have to be realistic”. You should have already picked up a tight end to play this week in place of Gates. It is starting to look like Gates may not make an appearance during the fantasy playoffs. Randy McMichael has not looked too impressive, so I wouldn’t just pencil him in your lineup unless you have no other option.
