The Hood 9 Posted October 3, 2010 2 TD's 106 yards in first half. Been a super stud all year. :overhead: I'd like to thank the Finley hype so I could get Gates as the 3rd TE taken after him and Clark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgs316 14 Posted October 3, 2010 He's the #2 WR or TE in my league, #1 as of today. FF MVP so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted October 3, 2010 Drafted him as #1 TE in all leagues with the VJAX mess during the offseason and I'm basically starting 4 WR's every week with this guy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
braylonjetwards 0 Posted October 3, 2010 He's in for a record season by a TE. The #1 target on a high profile pass happy offense. Not to mention he is an absolute monster, and a matchup nightmare. Expect top ten WR numbers from your TE, he is going to win some people some leagues this year. Mark my words. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,476 Posted October 3, 2010 grabbed him as often as i could. which really only ended up being 1 league (IBL). in the rest of my drafts he went 2nd overall after Clark and I wasn't in position to nab him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chroniciguana 13 Posted October 3, 2010 If this keeps up, I am going to bear his children. Or, at a minimum, offer to babysit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimHauck 2,444 Posted October 3, 2010 That many people on here drafted Gates? I could've sworn every single member of this board drafted Finley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huh? 7 Posted October 4, 2010 I took Gates as the first TE drafted in my league. I've always liked him and have never had him on my team. Itps paying off big time so far! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeshushu 51 Posted October 4, 2010 I drank the Finley cool aid even with Gates sitting in front of me first TE on my cheat sheet. I guess I could have selected each one with my number one and two pick. I could have played one as my TE and one as my flex. That would have been a first, taking two TE's one and two and winning the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL I love it when you cheat yourself and skip names on the sheet. so funny, we work hard knowing that a list we are happy with is important and we just look at the list and take the top guy. Your looking at the sheet, positive ur taking a te and blatantly take the lower guy, classic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chroniciguana 13 Posted October 4, 2010 With no time to prep for the draft this year, I reluctantly downloaded a draft analyzer program and let it and my netbook make my picks. I decided to do whatever the program told me to do, within reason. Gates popped up as the best pick for me in the third round, so to a mocking chorus of "A Tight End?" sung in 11-part harmony I took him. Guess I can now reply with a chorus of "Four and Oh, baby!"

Puddleglum 0 Posted October 4, 2010 On Yahoo, Gates is listed as the #1 MVP, being owned by 64% of the top 500 teams in public Yahoo leagues. Last year I waited on TE and QB and I was so sick and tired of trying to guess the right scrub QB or TE matchup each week, I took the first QB and TE off the board this year - Rodgers and Gates. They are carring my team. Gates in particular is ridiculous, he is the second highest scorer on my team behind Rodgers, and it's really not even close.

Your looking at the sheet, positive ur taking a te and blatantly take the lower guy, classic! this actually happens alot im betting. we make a rankings sheet, tier players etc etc but there are always guys you would rather avoid or lower ranked guys you like a little better. It won't change your rankings, you just hope someone else takes the other guy first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
