15 Fantasy Football Transactions for Week 1

Buy or Add Antonio Gates

We’ve been saying this all offseason here at numberFire, but the demise of Antonio Gates is greatly exaggerated. Ladarius Green may be more athletic than the aging Gates, but as we’ve seen in the preseason, Gates is still the man at tight end for San Diego.

The Chargers face the Cardinals on Monday night, and Arizona is the perfect matchup for your fantasy football tight end. A season ago, the Cardinals allowed 95 receptions, 1,156 yards and 16 touchdowns to opposing tight ends. They were the worst team against the position in each of those categories.

Go with Gates over Green until we have reason to believe otherwise.
