Fantasy Football: 4 Late-Round Tight Ends to Target
Zach Miller, coming off the board in the 14th round, played well last season and should be in line for steady volume. What other cheap tight ends profile as bargains?

Antonio Gates, TE, San Diego Chargers

ADP: 11.04 (130th overall)

We've been on a mission this offseason to get you to draft Antonio Gates. We're basically begging you to take him at his current price.

Gates still very productive, and he can score touchdowns at an elite rate. Gates is also locked into a meaningful role.

All of those things make him attractive, and when you couple them with his 11th-round ADP, man, it's hard not to love him.

As our JJ Zachariason pointed out earlier this week, over the last five years, Gates has totaled 35 touchdowns in 71 games. He's still Philip Rivers' bestie in the red zone, and with no Ladarius Green to fend off, Gates should see all the snaps he can handle.

Our models rank Gates as the TE6 this year while he's being drafted as TE13, making him one of the most undervalued players in all of fantasy football.
