I was checking out the FF Today compiler today and Antonio Gates ends up at 3rd on the TE rankings and Shockey at 9th. Anyone know anything about him? This makes me a bit skeptical about the compiler's projected stats...

Dunno about this "compiler" thing...I definitely wouldn't trust it if it spits out those rankings. I'm not too high on Shockey at all, but I wouldn't put him at 9.

A stats compiler works on just that...stats.Therefore the #1 rated QB last year was some jack-off you never heard of because he threw 5 passes for 165 yds. and 3 TD'S.He may never play again,but for that one glorious year....lol.So no,don't trust them.But Gates is good,and will only get better.So #3 he isn't,but don't overlook him.

Projections and rankings are two very different things. Don't go into one looking for the results of the other.

The compiler uses 2004 projections from FF Today which gives Gates 685 yards and 5 TDs this year versus 488/4 for Shockey.

The spreadsheet is great but I'm going to have to go over the projected stats with a fine-tooth comb.

Good idea.

A. Gates never played college football (did play in high school). He went to Kent State and was a power forward and then decided he had a better chance for money by being a TE in the NFL rather than trying to make an NBA team.

He is very very raw still, but showed some very nice promise at the end of last year. He was also the 3rd leading receiver on SD behind LT and Boston

Don't follow to closely on projections. It is impossible for anyone to accurately predict the statistics of so many players at so many positions.
