Yahoo Fantasy Football on Carnell Tate
From the article
Carnell Tate is an eerily fitting 'wide receiver version' of the Jeremiyah Love fade... plays in one of the most ineffective offenses in the league and has a terrible matchup... Tennessee made it to the red zone just once in Week 1... Cam Ward completed just 59.4% of his passes for 4.4 yards per attempt (dead last in Week 1)... Philly surrendered just 5.9 fantasy points to Washington's outside receivers in Week 1 (fewest in the league).
STACKED’s take
Tate's ineffective offense and Eagles' elite outside corner coverage create a bench-worthy fade.
Tate is a bust candidate as the wide receiver equivalent of Jeremiyah Love—drafted the pick after Love in April, incredibly talented, but playing in one of the league's most ineffective offenses with a terrible matchup. Tennessee made it to the red zone just once in Week 1 (only the Falcons were worse with zero), with the touchdown going to Elic Ayomanor. Cam Ward completed just 59.4% of his passes for 4.4 yards per attempt (dead last in Week 1) and averaged just 5.7 air yards per attempt (sixth-lowest). While Tate saw six targets, this offensive context is detrimental to his upside. Against the Eagles, he faces outside cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell and Riq Woolen; Philadelphia surrendered just 5.9 fantasy points to Washington's outside receivers in Week 1 (fewest in the league), while allowing slot receivers like Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams to thrive. The matchup significantly favors Wan'Dale Robinson over Tate.
