    Whats the story on this kid?? I keep seeing him make big highlights this preseason but is he for real or these plays all on second teamers? Where does he stand on your depth chart of receivers and who other than Rice/Porter will be catching some balls? I have some injury problems in my other fantasy league and am just curious if he is gonna be a legit target and someone to watch out for or if he is just going to ride the pine. Appreciate any help.

    Gabriel will likely be the #3 receiver. I expect him to get a significant number of receptions this year. He is a legitimate deep threat to compliment Porter, and has shown us something in the preseason - catching a long range pass for touchdown in each of the last three preseason games. These have come against both starting defenses and sencond stringers. Similarly, I might hold him as my 3rd or 4th WR if I were you.

    Ya I have some injury problems and the waiver wire is pretty thin in my league but he was one of the guys out there I was thinking about....I just didn't know where he stood on the depth chart if he is the 3 then he definitely merits a bench spot with the preseason he is having....Thanks ROTR.

    But. Thoise passes have been from Collins. If Gannon is the starter, dont expect any long balls to Gab. Gannon doesnt have the power-arm Collins has. He would be good, if Gannon had the ability to put it there, otherwise expect like 25 yarders max
