From the episode

we thought this was going to be a potential smash spot for Carnell Tate, given what wide receivers had done against the Texans so far. At least 18 fantasy points. One catch here in this game. It just didn't look great. I think this is part of what's potentially going to happen in this Titans offense.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Tate's smash spot vs. Texans defense failed; Titans offense too inconsistent to trust.

Despite being positioned as a potential smash spot against the Texans—a defense that had allowed at least 18 fantasy points to wide receivers—Tate managed only one catch in Week 5 against Tennessee. The source attributes this to the Titans offense being inconsistent and weaker than other NFL offenses; even in perceived good matchups, the offense may not produce. The quarterback situation is described as streaky, making it difficult to rely on consistent production from Tate despite favorable defensive matchups.
