The Facts:
The All-Pro tight end rejoined the Chargers' active roster on Monday after serving a three-game suspension for missing a team-imposed deadline to report to training camp. Gates sat out the final two exhibition games and Sunday's 28-24 loss to Dallas. "I definitely was with the first group today, so that's a good sign," Gates said Monday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Gates became a star in just his second season, leading the Chargers with 81 catches for 964 yards. His 13 touchdown catches set an NFL record for tight ends. But he held out of training camp, and the Chargers attempted to break an impasse by ordering him to report by Aug. 20 or be suspended for three games. He reported the following day, and agreed to a contract two days after that.
