From the episode

Carnell Tate is a wide receiver prospect who is not really the type to get featured on easy button type work... Tate is more of an intermediate, downfield, wide receiver. And so that makes him environment sensitive... I don't think he's startable in this offense unless Cam Ward looks better and he's looked non-viable for now a season and a game.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBust

Tate's downfield role makes him environment-dependent; Cam Ward's Week 1 disaster makes him unstarted.

Tate is a downfield, intermediate wide receiver who is environment-sensitive and not the type to get featured on easy-button work like slot receivers or yak gods. In Week 1, Cam Ward was abysmal, which severely limited Tate's fantasy value. The source notes this was the feared scenario going into the season: Tate in a dysfunctional offense. The source is not optimistic on Tate's fantasy value this season and suspects limited progression from Ward. Tate is not startable in this offense unless Ward improves significantly. The source compares this to a Roma Dunse-esque rookie season where not enough information will be gathered. However, the source notes Tate didn't do anything wrong himself and may be a buy-low candidate by Week 8-9 when frustrated owners want out of the environment.
