Gates makes for a great Week 6 lineup play, as he dominated in his first game back from suspension. In that game, he caught nine of his 11 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns.
He was a clear redzone option for Rivers, which has been the case throughout his career. Gates will likely see a decrease in targets if Stevie Johnson returns this week, but in daily leagues he’s still cheap enough to be used confidently in all leagues.
Until Gates and Rivers show any signs of their production slowing down, Gates makes for a great fantasy football start regardless of the league or format.
