FantasyPros Articles on Carnell Tate
From the article
Quarterback Cam Ward was dreadful during his rookie season, finishing the year as the QB22, averaging fewer than six yards per attempt (YPA), passing for just 15 touchdowns (tied for 24th in the league)... Tate will also need to fend off Wan'Dale Robinson for targets (keep in mind, Robinson piled up 280 targets over the last two seasons under Brian Daboll in New York)... I'm just unwilling to wait that long for him to acclimate as someone Daboll can trust on a team with major concerns along its offensive line.
STACKED’s take
Tate's breakout depends on Ward's improvement and Robinson competition; Tarracciano won't wait.
Evan Tarracciano remains skeptical of Carnell Tate, the first receiver selected in the 2026 draft class, despite the source enthusiasm about his fit with an up-and-coming Titans offense. Tarracciano's concerns center on quarterback Cam Ward's poor rookie season (QB22 finish, fewer than six yards per attempt, 15 touchdowns tied for 24th, 540 attempts eighth-most, completion percentage below 60%), which must improve significantly for Tate to justify his draft cost. Tate must also compete with Wan'Dale Robinson for targets (Robinson accumulated 280 targets over two seasons under Brian Daboll in New York). While Tate excels at precision routes, Ward's propensity to scramble and inaccuracy make a major breakout unlikely. The Titans' receiving room also includes returning Calvin Ridley, Chimere Dike, and Elic Ayomanor, plus tight end Gunnar Helm expected to be more involved in his sophomore season. Tarracciano is unwilling to wait for Tate to acclimate on a team with major offensive line concerns.
