From the article

Tate is 13th in target share (27 percent) and fourth in air yards share (48 percent). He has the seventh-highest first-read target share (29 percent). The Titans are getting Tate involved in the short and intermediate areas of the field at an extremely high clip, with 84 percent of his looks coming 1-19 yards downfield. Cam Ward ranks 27th in accurate throw rate in that range. That might not sound great, but it's far better than his rank of 33rd in accuracy rate on deep shots.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Tate's elite short-area usage aligns with Ward's accuracy strengths; keep in lineups.

Tate is a strong start despite the Titans' struggles. He ranks 13th in target share (27 percent) and fourth in air yards share (48 percent), with the seventh-highest first-read target share (29 percent). The Titans are getting Tate involved in short and intermediate areas at an extremely high clip, with 84 percent of his looks coming 1-19 yards downfield. Cam Ward ranks 27th in accurate throw rate in that range, far better than his 33rd-ranked accuracy on deep shots, meaning the Titans are setting Tate up for success.
