I think a lot of people remember where he was drafted and where he finished last year and a lot of people are passing. This year he lasted to the middle 9th round in my local redraft league that drafted a few weeks ago. I picked him up myself as a TE2 (pick 9.07). It was hard for me to pass him by at that point.Not a believer at all in the thread title, but I'm curious what people are seing in drafts and auctions this year in Gates?
Was in an auction yesterday where someone bid 35/300 for him. Some players just have their fans though. - Are people still buying in, drafting him mid to high, or at least more than his past performance and projections warrant?
Thomas shouldn't have been expendable regardless of how Gates performed tonight.I dunno. Not pulling the plug yet, but Julius Thomas just got less expendable.
That's debatable. If Gates was heavily involved, had a nice game, strong chance I tried to strike while the iron was hot and move JT. Tons of nibbles and intrigue already. But based on what I saw? Julius Thomas is starting for me for the forseeable future.Thomas shouldn't have been expendable regardless of how Gates performed tonight.I dunno.

The #s werent there but (and this will sound stupid) he looked alot quicker on his catches then I ever remember. I dunno. Out of all the late TEs I couldve took it looks like I took the wrong one but that being said I still think he'll be okIt's over, folks. :(
I have Thomas also and I get the feeling that they kept Gates in for pass blocking. I just don't like the few looks and targets he is got this past week. Thomas is in for me this week and I'm have Celek who is on waivers on my watch list. If Gates doesn't get more looks this week I may dump Gates as my TE2 and grab CelekWell, he was on the field close to every play. Unfortunately the only time Rivers seemed to look for him was on the occasional 3rd down. He was throwing to everyone else all over the place though.

He looked much quicker than the past couple years. I don't know why they didn't throw to him more.The #s werent there but (and this will sound stupid) he looked alot quicker on his catches then I ever remember. I dunno.

Because I only needed one more catch out of him to win my matchup?He looked much quicker than the past couple years.

He's still the number one option. With the way the O is moving, he'll get 10 TD's again this season. He's 3rd in scoring currently for TE's and he's left points on the board. I doubt you will get full value as well. Ride him.He definitely looks faster this year and the new system seems to fit him well.
Now he is coming off a huge week and almost looks like he is back into his old form. Is he a sell high right now or will he continue this production?
