Gates down?

Not to deviate too much from the topic, but I hear a lot of guys say stuff like this every season. Faced with the prospects of going with no DST for one week or dropping a player I feel will help me win multiple weeks over the course of the season, I am playing without a DST that one week. Sure, it MAY cost you a week but I'd rather do that then scramble multiple weeks. My $0.02 anyways...

Unless your league penalizes incomplete lineups.

Yep. Obviously, if you have to play a DST or be penalized, then you gotta do what you gotta do. If its not req'd, I am willing to go with a goose egg to hold on to a player I value rather than drop that player to pick up a one-week filler...

So from what you have posted, Watson should absolutely be rostered, even in a six team league - unless rosters are restricted in an extreme manner.

 

Thanks for backing me up. GB.

News: Chargers head coach Norv Turner said Monday that TE Antonio Gates has a sprained toe and that the team is holding out hope that he'll play vs. the Patriots in Week 7. He left the team's Week 6 game at St. Louis in the first half after getting his foot rolled up twice by other players and was in a walking boot after the game.

 

Analysis: We suspect that Gates is not a lock to play Sunday, and even if he does play he could be limited by the injury. If you own Gates, make it a point to have a backup plan in place in case he doesn't play. It's a shame, too, since the Pats have allowed three touchdowns to tight ends this year including Dustin Keller in Week 2 and Todd Heap just last week. We'll definitely keep you posted on the latest involving Gates all week.

 

 

 

Good news to me. I was preparing for the worst. Seems to me that worst case he misses a game. Shouldn't be a lingering issue it doesn't appear.

sounds like turn toe...very hard to determine when he'll be ready. good news as I was worried. better than high ankle sprain I suppose.

San Diego Chargers TE Antonio Gates' (toe) injury is not believed to be serious and he could wind up playing in Week 7 against the New England Patriots, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune's Kevin Acee. Head coach Norv Turner said Gates' injury is unrelated to the injury that he suffered in the 2007 playoffs and required surgery.

Agreed. No one is happy he has a hurt toe, or acting as if it may not be something he needs to deal with for a little while. BUT given the fact it could have been a high ankle sprain, or torn ligaments, or something major, a sprained toe isn't awful.

 

It's the best of a bad situation IMO. Even if it hinders him a little the next few weeks.
