Gotta be Gates.Tony Gonzalez is probably one of the "next closest."

They're not still out there...they are Fitz and Coston
ETA: I think you mis-read the OP. He said 6 seasons (out of 9) of 7+

Oops, I misread the OP. I thought it said there were two people that had 6+ TDs in every since 2004.Updated.They're not still out there...they are Fitz and Coston
It does bring up the interesting point that, while Gates has had 7+ in every season since 2004, no one else has had 6+ in that span (and I don't think anyone has 5+ in every year since then either).

That is interesting. When you factor in Gates and his injuries and missed games, it makes his feat even that more remarkable.Oops, I misread the OP. I thought it said there were two people that had 6+ TDs in every since 2004.Updated.They're not still out there...they are Fitz and Coston

This thread brings up an interesting point. Could we see a Gates resurgence? He's not what he was, but he was generally healthy all season, just on a terrible offense under a lame duck head coach, with a slumping QB.

It's possible but he looked really slow and lumbering last season.

So? Can't be any worse than Jason Witten and he just went and put up the most receptions by a TE in history.Gates knows how to get open and we know Rivers loves him as much as Romo loves Witten.

I said, it's possible, but Gates looks like he's close to the finish line to me. He's been banged up a lot in recent seasons, he had a major foot issue, and he's beed slowed as a result. He's a couple of years older than Witten, who admittedly as you implied was never blessed with speed. Witten does get force fed a ton of passes, but doesn't do much with them anymore. Gates could be capable of that I guess.I own Gates in one league so I'd love for him to be a force again - I still think he'll be startable and probably still a good redzone target but I just see his days as being a difference maker behind him.
I must agree with Dr. Octopus, but I think Gates will be cheap enough next year that I'll still target him. I feel like he's probably very close to the end, but I could see a new system breathing life into him for one more year. Rather than a boom/bust pick, he'll be a boom/mediocre pick. He definitely burned me this past year, but gotta have a short memory. He finished TE12 in my non-ppr leagues. If he can be had at TE10 or later next year, I'll roll the dice with him - coupled with another TE in that range. Don't have enough confidence to count on him as the only TE on my roster to start the season, but I like the risk/reward ratio at that price.
