Gates Owners: Are you Starting or Benching Him? (1 Viewer)

[sspunisher]

Please list your other options at TE as well.

Team 1: Leaving him on the bench in favor of Fred Davis. Can't risk him leaving the game in this particular matchup.

Team 2: Got Gresham on BYE and Cook in the starting lineup at the moment. I'll probably throw Gates in if I hear encouraging pre-game warmup news.

Starting over Watson in a PPR.

I'm also rolling with Davis over Gates this week. Hernandez, my other option is on bye. I'm a kittle worried this may be one of my few chances to start Gates this season...

 

[Prince Myshkin]

gronk is on bye so i'll be rolling out gates in this one...

 

[notdarkyet]

Gresham on a bye, rollin the dice with Gates.

 

[yrforyg]

Starting with confidence over Keller in a standard scoring league

 

[E_Smith]

Will probably start Gonzo over Gates. Although I have a bye week nightmare team and AJ injured so I could use the Gates upside but it doesn't seem worth the risk with Gonzo at my disposal.

 

[MojoDawg]

Going with Pettigrew.

 

[NCPanthersFan]

Able to start two TE's.

Starting Gates over Meachem and Burleson. Not a real stretch there though.

 

[Sup_Yo]

Gates over Keller. PPR.

 

[FavreAndAwayAnIdiot]

Gates over Keller. PPR.

Me2.

 

[Eastwood]

Gates over Shockey, not really a tough decision

 

[ahill84006]

Starting Fred Davis over Gates...

 

[Doug B]

Going with Gates over a bye-week Hernandez. Don't want to cut anyone else on my roster for a one-week TE fill-in ... hoping Gates can do something.

 

[fatmnkypants]

Going with Pettigrew, but hoping Gates shows he's on his way back to being a force

 

[Donsmith753]

Still not 100% but might start him over Benn.

 

[tenaka]

Benching him, starting Olsen and Cook.

 

[identikit]

Benching him, starting Olsen and Cook.

 

[RTB1]

Benching him and starting Olsen at TE, but I'm considering plugging him into my flex spot over Hines Ward. Playing a weaker team, so I'm thinking missing the upside will hurt me less than if Gates leaves the game early and gives me nothing. I just talked myself into sticking with Ward.

 

[firstseason1988]

Seeing as Turner said he would be limited. To me limited means red zone and NYJ aren't the best matchup in the world, I am going with Watson in non- PPR. I would say Gates ceiling is 2 Tds 50 yards. Where Watson is 2 TDs 100 yards. Not liking having to make this decision as I am dying to start Gates with confidence.

 

[sspunisher]

Yea I briefly considered Gates over Jacoby Jones.

Traded Keller/Redman for Gates/JRogers and starting Gates over Watson

 

[C-Bound]

Benching for Freddy D.

 

[Skeletore Eh]

Gates over olsen

 

[Donsmith753]

I meant to add I'm playing against Rivers and was hoping to negate some of his points.

FF's urban legend.

 

[steelerfan1]

have to start him. small rosters and hernandez on the BYE.

held him this long and couldn't drop him.

 

[KellysHeroes]

Starting over Watson in a PPR.

Benching gates over Watson in PPR, Ben is the most targeted player in Cleveland. However I am playing gates over cook in one and over keeler in non-ppr.

 

[The Big Guy]

Benching for Graham

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Starting Fred Davis over Gates...

 

[Brycestrahorn]

on the fence, right now Gates over Watson in PPR

 

[huthut]

Started Clark over him to see how many reps Gates gets.

 

[Saint]

on the fence, right now Gates over Watson in PPR

Same here. He played injured last year and still put up points, so I am rolling the dice and benching Watson.

 

[smapdi]

Gronk is on a bye so I have to roll with Gates... I really got lucky on this one that he is even active. Didn't sound too good earlier this week that he would play Sunday

 

[N Zone]

I'm starting Greg Olsen, and benching Gates.

 

[Sea Duck]

Benched for Jared Cook, although I would have cut Cook if Tebow or Demarco Murray had been available to me on the waiver wire.

 

[TarheelBlue]

Booyah! Was nervous there with McMichael in... then... BOOM!

I hope we're back in action...

 

[Mr Rodgers neighborhood]

Ugh, if San Diego could protect Rivers for a half a second longer Gates gets his second TD.
