Chargers TE Gates Torches GB Coverage 

 NFL.com San Diego Chargers tight-end Antonio Gates has to be the go to guy for quarterback Philip Rivers.

The Chargers let receiver Vincent Jackson hit the free agency market and he scored a big deal in Tampa Bay.

The Chargers were also active during free agency acquiring former New Orleans receiver Robert Meachem but it’s obvious that the chemistry between the two is a work in progress. While Rivers did target Meacham he was picked off by GB corner Tramon Williams.

However the biggest fantasy football news came in the early first quarter as fantasy prospect Ryan Mathews was diagnosed with a broken clavicle on his first carry of the NFL preseason.

While the news of Ryan Matthews’s injury is less than encouraging the initial estimate is out 4-6 weeks. Even if after his surgery this morning that assessment changes to eight weeks he could possibly return as by week five. So do not drop him from your draft boards rather plan for a much later pick in rounds five or six.
