I worry that Tate will have another quiet game this week because of DJ Turner shadowing him. Sit Tate this week. I expect Turner to shut him down.

Tate (WR34) faces Turner's elite coverage; expect shutdown performance.

Tate remains a volatile receiver as WR34 in fantasy points per game because of Cam Ward's play. He has two games with at least 19 PPR points but four outings where he failed to have double-digit PPR points. The source worries Tate will have another quiet game this week because of DJ Turner shadowing him. Turner has followed Chris Bell, DK Metcalf, Emeka Egbuka, and Parker Washington on 63.6-82.6% of their routes, and none of those receivers surpassed 53 receiving yards in Turner's coverage (only Metcalf scored a touchdown, which occurred because Turner collided with another Cincy player). Tate has a 24.5% target share with 2.20 YPRR, three red zone targets, seven deep targets, and 32.4% first-read share. The source says to sit Tate this week, expecting Turner to shut him down.
