The Facts:
How do you take a three-time Pro Bowler who has hauled in 32 touchdown passes over the last three years and make him even better? Apparently by finding more things for him to do. That's what new HC Norv Turner did with Gates throughout last weekend's mini-camp. On Friday, Gates worked exclusively with the wide receivers during the individual period.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
During Saturday's team period, Gates lined up all over the field. He spent time on the line of scrimmage, in the slot and split out wide as the only receiver on his side of the formation. "He runs the routes so well. He can run all the wide receiver routes," Turner said. "It's something that we want to incorporate. How much we do of it depends on who we're playing and how they're playing us." Needless to say, we're all for anything that makes an already extremely productive player even more so.
