Drafting Carnell Tate is a bet on talent and Cam Ward's ability to take off in his second season with Brian Daboll calling plays. I want to bet on Tate as I'm in love with the talent. Tate is an amazing route runner who can separate at all three levels of the field after ranking tenth in yards per route run and fourth in receiving grade last season (per PFF). He finished college with an otherworldly 68.8% contested catch rate, and he had zero drops in his final season despite a 14.6 aDOT.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Tate's elite route-running and contested-catch rate make him a breakout bet in 2026.

Derek Brown is betting on Tate's talent and Cam Ward's second-season development under Brian Daboll. Tate ranked tenth in yards per route run and fourth in receiving grade last season (per PFF); he finished college with a 68.8% contested catch rate and zero drops in his final season despite a 14.6 aDOT. Though he must compete with Wan'Dale Robinson and Calvin Ridley for the WR1 spot in Tennessee, Brown believes Tate has the talent to be the clear WR1 from Week 1, contingent on how quickly he adjusts and how many weapons Ward can support in 2026. Brown plans to draft Tate heavily.
