Antonio Gates, TE, Los Angeles Chargers

Price: $4,500

With Hunter Henry landing on injured reserve, Antonio Gates is back to being the Los Angeles Chargers' top tight end.

Gates hasn't out-snapped Henry since Week 4, but those first four weeks of the season (when the two played similar snaps) were when Gates saw the most volume this year, notching 17 targets in that span.

That's obviously not a huge workload, but Gates was still only playing about 60% of the team's offensive snaps in that stretch (a mark he could surpass now that he's the clear-cut top tight end), and Henry added 10 targets of his own over those games.

Our numbers have the New York Jets as a bottom-10 pass defense, and they're allowing the league's 11th-most FanDuel points per game to opposing tight ends. Priced at the minimum, Gates doesn't need a ton of looks to offer significant value in Week 16.
