Chargers' Antonio Gates: Non factor in loss

Gates recorded three catches for 20 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.

Analysis:

Gates didn't factor much in the passing game, as the Chargers jumped out to a substantial lead early in the game. With Keenan Allen likely done for the season after suffering what appeared to be a torn ACL, Gates might be leaned on more heavily in the intermediate routes making for a potentially interesting fantasy play in leagues that reward points per reception.
