Carnell Tate ranks second in air yards and fifth in target share among entire NFL; only other rookie wide receivers since 2016 to achieve this combination are Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and Puka Nacua.

Matthew Berry ranks Tate at WR36 and reluctantly keeps him open for start/sit purposes in 12-team leagues with three WR starters. He cites 25% target share, Tate's underlying talent, and a favorable matchup: Ravens allow 7th-most fantasy points to WRs and 9th-most yards; Titans are 12-point underdogs and will need to throw. Berry expects Cam Ward to improve after showing better play in the second half of the Giants game.PositiveRoleSep 30, 2026
