I'm not fading Tate's talent off a small 25-route preseason sample...Tate could walk away from Week 1 with a wonderful stat line that has everyone reconsidering their offseason fade of him.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Tate's elite college metrics and weak Jets secondary could spark a breakout Week 1 if Ward improves.

Tate failed to secure any of his six targets in the preseason, but the source attributes this to Cam Ward's struggles rather than Tate's talent. Tate displayed elite college production: tenth in yards per route run and fourth in receiving grade (per PFF), with an otherworldly 68.8% contested catch rate and zero drops in his final season despite a 14.6 aDOT. The Jets' outside corner tandem of Brandon Stephens (67.1% catch rate, 126.4 passer rating) and Nashon Wright (64.5% catch rate, 98.0 passer rating) doesn't inspire confidence. The source believes Tate could post a strong stat line in Week 1 if Ward improves his accuracy.
