Anyone else disappointed by Tribute Gates?

I replaced Waller with him and bumped Kittle down to TE2 because I had really big expectations for Gates. Unfortunately, he dropped literally the first pass I threw to him and he hasn’t been any better than Kittle for me. Sure, he feels much smoother with the ball in his hands, but for some reason, Kittle looks like he breaks away faster and even looks like he’s running better routes than Gates. Have any of you tried him and found he wasn’t better than Kittle? This is mainly for non-Niner theme teams because obviously Kittle will be a monster for them.

At this point, I’m thinking about just moving back to Kittle.

Great for me, but he plays at 99 for my 30/50 Chargers powered up.

Don't know what you mean. I invested in Gates and have him as a 98. Catches everything I throw, even some stuff I don't expect him to on prayers. If he drops stuff, that's just Madden being Madden.

 Yeah he’s great. Casper is a little better on my team though. Gates is a much better Route Runner I find but Kittle just looks more explosive on his cuts

 The best two TEs I’ve used have been Kittle and Casper. Casper because of my Raiders boosts pretty much has better stats than my Kittle. I think I’m going to just get rid of Gates as I feel Kittle does what he does for me and provides the Run Blocking. Casper has great Pass Blocking which is nice too
