{"playerId":5362,"percentChange":0.1,"averageDraftPosition":52.1,"percentOwned":99,"mostRecentNews":{"news":"Gates has appeared more quick and fit during OTAs, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.","spin":"Over the past three seasons, Gates, who has missed a combined 10 games due to foot concerns, has acted primarily as a red-zone threat. Consequently, his yards per catch during the past two seasons -- 12.2 and 11.0 -- has suffered, as he has been anything but quick. In 2013, a renaissance could be in store for Gates, who has still notched at least seven touchdown in nine consecutive seasons.","date":"Wed Jun 12"},"fullName":"Antonio Gates","pointsSEASON":89,"seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Gates put his plantar fascia woes behind him in '12, and his seven TDs were a respectable sixth among TEs. But he's fading along with the rest of the Chargers offense. He topped 60 yards receiving in a game once all year, and his 538 total yards easily represented his smallest total since his rookie year. Philip Rivers still looks for his TE down the field, as Gates' 7.9 yards-at-the-catch average attests (seventh-highest among TEs), but Gates averaged just 3.0 yards after the catch, which was 29th. Most importantly, Rivers isn't the same player he used to be. Maybe Mike McCoy and Ken Wisenhunt can spruce up this entire San Diego offense, and Gates will rebound. But don't hold your breath.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Mon May 13"},"positionRank":12,"projectedPoints":99}
