After news broke of Antonio Gates four-game suspension for violating the league's PED policy, Ladarius Green 's value immediately skyrocketed. Green is set to be the starter during Gate's absence and if he performs well he could earn more snaps when Gates returns, which seems to have always been the game plan anyway. Gates is now 35 years old and there had already been speculation that he'd see less snaps this season to preserve him. Chargers offensive coordinator Frank Reich strongly believes that this will be Green's best season to date. "I'd be shocked if he didn't have his most productive year," Reich said.
