Beat writer Kevin Acee confirms that there "appears little doubt that [Antonio] Gates will be 100 percent (or close to it) for the season opener." Gates practiced again on Thursday, his fifth straight day. It's an incredibly positive sign as he deals with the lingering effects of plantar fasciitis. At this point, fantasy owners should have no qualms about selecting our No. 1 tight end on draft day. The 2011 Draft Guide projects 1,006 yards and 10 touchdowns for Gates.
