Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Gates caught 29 passes for 478 yards and seven touchdowns during the first five games of the 2010 season before injuring his foot Week 6 at St. Louis. He managed 304 yards and three touchdowns in the season’s final 11 games, missing six due to the injury. “He’s going to be our lead guy (in 2011),” Turner said. “It’s a shame he got hurt a year ago because he was not only going to have his career-best year but maybe the best year ever by a tight end. ..." Turner went on to further confirm the what Fantasy Football owners wanted to hear: “He’ll be a big part of what we do (this season).”
