Tate's sixth-round ADP makes him a likely Week 1 lineup lock; viable WR3.

Tate cost roughly a sixth-round pick during draft season, so he's a good bet to be in most lineups in Week 1. History suggests he may not win you the week, but he's also unlikely to crush you. Over the past decade, 14 wide receivers were selected in the top 15 of the NFL draft and played in Week 1, averaging 11.1 fantasy PPG in their debut—solid but unspectacular, with 12 of the 14 reaching 9.0 points but only three reaching 16 points (Ja'Marr Chase, Jaylen Waddle, DeVonta Smith). New York's defense is better though not overly intimidating, and Tate should see plenty of targets as Cam Ward's new top target. The source views the rookie as a viable WR3 in his first professional game.
