Antonio Gates says he is completely healthy after nagging injuries limited his play in 2008.
Gates says he takes Wednesdays off just to "maintain feeling great." He's averaging 7.1 yards after the catch this season while his career mark is 4.4. Additionally, this is the first time in his career he has had more than 49 receiving yards in nine straight games. There's no reason to think he will have any drop off down the stretch.

Antonio Gates caught five passes for 67 yards in Sunday's win over the Giants.
Gates dropped two very catchable balls that would have made his game look a lot bigger. He remains one of the best and most consistent tight ends in the game and is on pace for 84 catches, 1,180 yards and four touchdowns. He'll be a top-three option against a Eagles' linebacking corps that struggles against the pass next week.

Antonio Gates is on pace to set career highs in catches and yards.
Gates, the No. 4 overall fantasy tight end, also says he's as healthy as he's ever been after an injury-plagued 2008. "When you watch me play, you're watching me play healthy," Gates said. "You can tell," quarterback Philip Rivers added. "It's subtle — that explosion and swiftness is there."

Gates was getting worked over for much of the night by Raiders safety Tyvon Branch, but made the most of his opportunities in the second half. Gates got open a couple times when the Raiders' linebackers were, for some reason, giving San Diego easy ten yard gains on their game-winning drive.
 Antonio Gates-TE- ChargersAug. 2 - 3:02 pm et
Antonio Gates is up to 263 pounds after committing to an offseason weight training program that has him looking "leaner and chiseled."
Never a workout fiend, Gates says he feels stronger, faster and more dominant. Gates is fully healthy and should find it easier to separate from defenders this year. His numbers should also benefit from not having to stay in to help out right tackle Jeromey Clary block as much as last season.
