The Facts:
Rehab is going better than he ever anticipated. If it keeps at this pace, with the gains outpacing the setbacks, with him able to manage the discomfort, Gates believes he will "definitely be ready for the opener."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
But Gates won't just come back to be back. "This team is too talented and too dedicated to winning for me to come back and not be ready to contribute," said Gates, who had surgery on his left big toe in late February. "I wouldn't shortchange this team. Being out there and playing is one thing, but contributing is another." In other words, if he can't be the Gates that changes defenses, it would be better to watch from the sideline. Said Gates: "Seventy-five percent of Antonio Gates is not better than 100 percent of Brandon (Manumaleuna) or 100 percent of Scott Chandler. ..." Well. If he says so.
