Square. Get recommends Carnell Tate over Harold Fannin Jr. and later over Tate Harvey or Jawan Johnson.

Carnell Tate was only 19% started in Week 1 against Tennessee, a low snap share that could lead to league-wide drops if he has another bad game or two. The speaker suggests the Titans offense is ugly and players from it should not be started.PositiveBustSep 10, 2026
The source advises sitting Carnell Tate against the Jets, noting that while they remain hopeful for his season, his target volume is threatened by Wan'Dale Robinson's role in Brian Daboll's offense. He is considered a desperation flex play only in deep PPR leagues.NegativeBustSep 8, 2026

Dave Richard is uncertain about Carnell Tate, a talented but not perfect rookie wide receiver taken in the top five by Tennessee. Richard compares him to Malik Nabers, who had monster numbers as a rookie in New York with Brian Dable as play caller, and wonders if Dable will do something similar in Tennessee. However, Richard worries about rushing to get Tate because he might not even have six and a half targets per game. Tennessee still has Wondell Robinson and other peripheral pass catchers, plus they drafted two more last year, which could take away from Tate's target volume. Richard ranks him in round six in full PPR but doesn't love that rank either because he's unsure if the Titans will be a high-scoring team or funnel targets to Tate, and they might spread it around or aim for the middle of the field more, away from where Tate will run most of his routes.
