Described as 'a stud' and WR#6 overall, but Week 6 performance raised concerns: dropped 2 passes (one in endzone), though one was tipped by defender. Community sentiment split—some defend him ('no player catches everything'; 'him and Watson were studs in Week 5'), others criticize ('butterfingers'; 'WR#6 isn't good enough from a 9th round pick'). One commenter noted he is their WR3 and 'not too upset' about drops. Packers have no run game, so Love will throw heavily, benefiting Tate's volume.

Golden Tate is preferred over Christian Watson despite Watson's higher efficiency; Tate has the better role with higher target share, and at a $700 price discount with comparable touchdown upside, Davis Mattek plays Tate between the two. Tate is described as a normal, good receiver (21st best in NFL) versus Watson's specialized usage: "Golden is actually much more of a normal receiver than Christian Watson is. Watson's actually Watson's more of a specialized guy who who can be used in very specific ways. But Golden is just like really a normal... if you're giving me a $700 discount and you're giving me the higher target share for a guy who's also capable of scoring touchdowns and scoring 50 yard touchdowns, like I'm I'm just going to play Golden between the two of them."

“…Tate went up to get it, came down, and made contact with both safety Kevin Winston Jr. and Flott. A crash collision between three guys, and Tate got the worst of it. But he held on to the football for a first down and a big gain.”

“In a few early OTAs, Tate made a pair of spectacular one-handed catches, and he looked smooth with just about everything he did. Tate was quieter in the later OTAs, but that could have been the result of others emerging. The reality is it's hard for rookies to make a big splash in the league, and I fully expect Tate to go through some growing pains.”

Brandon Angelo describes Golden Tate as a very good receiver who could catch correctly but often chose not to, preferring unconventional clap attacking technique. Despite this mechanical choice, Tate was a productive number two receiver or slot flanker type, demonstrating that elite talent can overcome suboptimal catching mechanics. Tate is cited as one of four historical exceptions to the rule that serial clap attackers struggle in the NFL.
