Yahoo Sports NFL on Carnell Tate

Tate's 0-catch preseason (6 targets) signals early-season volatility; treat as long-term hold, not flex.

Carnell Tate had a rough preseason despite being on the field nearly every play with the starters—a positive sign for opportunity. However, he didn't have a single catch on his six targets over three games, going 0 for 5 through two preseason games with Cam Ward. For a rookie receiver with a young QB, this lack of connection brings concern for early-season volatility. Tate is still going in the middle rounds next to some very valuable assets, but with the combination of the offense and tough early-season schedule, he should be viewed as a long-term pick rather than an immediate flex option.
