Tate's 25.9% target share ranks elite among rookies; one bad week doesn't erase role.

Tate caught one of five targets for six yards in week five against the Titans with a 14% target share—his lowest of the season and first time below 20%. However, this single poor performance should not erase his established role; he maintains a 25.9% target share on the season. Among rookie wide receivers since 2016, only Drake London, Puka Nakua, Malik Neighbors, and Zay Flowers have commanded higher target shares in their first five weeks. Tate is in elite company alongside Chris Alave, Marvin Harrison Jr., Tedaroa McMillan, and Jamar Chase. The Texans' secondary is decent, and Tate remains a bye candidate with favorable matchups ahead.
