Antonio Gates value (1 Viewer)

[goodyear pimps]

Just curious what other FBGers consider Gate's value to be in a ppr league when the TE position is not required. Do you put him in the second tier of WRs? I am thinking he falls towards the tail end of the second tier, especially with Rivers at the helm.

 

[Chase Stuart]

He falls to around WR/TE15.

He falls to around WR/TE15.
