All Ron Stewart insights about Carnell Tate
NegativeUsageSep 14, 2026
Carnell Tate is a full-time receiver but is currently a stash rather than a starter. While he tied for the team lead with a 22% target share, his per-route efficiency is poor, and he is struggling within a stagnant offense that lacks play volume.PositiveValueSep 1, 2026
Ron Stewart selects Carnell Tate at 7.04 and is explicitly stoked on the pick, defending Tate as an awesome value despite concerns from others. Stewart compares Tate to Tedo McMillan (taken at 3.04 last year), noting same prospect quality and situation but at a much later ADP; Stewart ranks Tate around 5.6 turn but factors in a round discount due to tight end premium scarcity, making him a price inefficiency. Stewart later reflects that Tate is part of a well-built team with three locked-in receivers and flex options, indicating confidence in the selection, though he expresses some dissatisfaction with Tate as a flex option in the zero-RB team construction.PositiveProjectionAug 29, 2026
Ron Stewart highlights Carnell Tate as a superior flex option to Bucky Irving, with a projection of 12.4 points per game.NegativeValueAug 29, 2026
Carnell Tate was the source's fallback wide receiver option after the position ran out following the Parker Washington pick, indicating heavy wide receiver depletion in the league. The source considered Tate as an alternative to Brock Purdy and Parker Washington, but preferred the Washington-Mayfield combination because relying on Tate in the flex every week was less desirable. However, the source later preferred Tate over Goff Leaporta at a particular draft turn, suggesting some value relative to tight end options.NegativeValueAug 18, 2026
Running back option that can be paired with Gentry and Brian Thomas as an alternative to the Henderson-Price hero RB build in draft rooms uncomfortable with that strategy.NegativeValueAug 18, 2026
Ron Stewart describes Carnell Tate as a fine pick but suggests that the 5-6 turn pricing feels a little bit rich for receivers at that turn, implying Tate may be overvalued at that ADP.PositiveValueAug 11, 2026
Ron Stewart is a big fan of Carnell Tate and views him as great value in the sixth round or later; Tate is positioned as a similar-tier prospect to Ted McMillan (a third-to-fourth round pick last year) in a similar situation (top dog attached to a shitty quarterback), suggesting Tate represents one to two rounds of discount relative to his prospect tier and should be moved up in rankings.PositiveValueAug 7, 2026
Ron Stewart leans toward Carnell Tate over Rhamondre Stevenson and notes that Tate is the source's highest ranked player at that decision point; Stewart considers Tate as a potential pick despite already having wide receivers in the flex, indicating strong conviction on the receiver's value.NegativeRoleJun 17, 2026
Carnell Tate is competing with Gunnar Helm for targets on the Titans, along with Juan Delale Robinson and Calvin Ridley, making it unclear if Helm will actually matter in redraft leagues.PositiveRoleJun 12, 2026
Expected to be moved around the formation and given a ton of volume in the Bears offense after Wandell Robinson handles gimmick and slot roll usage.PositiveRoleJun 12, 2026
Expected to be moved around the formation and given significant volume in Brian Dable's offense, which has shown a pattern of peppering receivers with targets.PositiveProjectionJun 12, 2026
Grades as the only elite-tier WR prospect in the class with an 85%+ chance to hit a 14+ PPR point per game season; positioned to receive significant volume after Wandell Robinson handles gimmick/slot usage.PositiveValueNo date
Top-10 drafted rookie receiver attached to Cam Ward in a bad situation, similar to Ted Ginn's situation last year with Bryce Young. However, Tate is being priced much cheaper than comparable top-10 pick receivers, making him good value at wide receiver 32. Juan Delale Robinson is competing for targets and the Titans' vibes aren't great, which explains the lower price, but this represents a value opportunity.PositiveProjectionNo date
Carnell Tate is part of a Titans offense that has added a lot of pieces through the draft and could see a step forward in 2026.
