Tate's 89% contested catch rate (2nd best) offsets Bengals' tough defense.

Tate ranks WR6 in ESPN's Open Rating metric for separation ability and boasts an 89 percent contested catch rate, trailing only Puka Nacua this season; despite facing a tough Bengals defense (fifth-ranked in EPA allowed per dropback), his contested-catch prowess mitigates tight coverage concerns. Bengals CB DJ Turner has shadowed Parker Washington, Emeka Egbuka, and DK Metcalf on 60-plus percent of their routes, but Titans can deploy Tate in the slot (28 percent of his routes this season) to avoid Turner.
