Expert takes
“Tate remains Tennessee’s top receiving option, and this rest-of-season schedule looks incredible for Tate. The Titans get to play Indianapolis twice, Cleveland, Dallas, and Washington. They also play Jacksonville twice and Detroit once, which are projected to be very pass-heavy game scripts for Tennessee.”
Jim Moorman· Oct 13, 2026“As long as Cam Ward remains under center, one has to wonder how much Tate’s upside is capped — he simply isn’t a good quarterback. Tate will have the occasional good game, but his erratic statistical totals will make him difficult to trust as anything more than a WR3 for the remainder of the season. It is a real shame this organization drafted him, as he would thrive almost anywhere else.”
Evan Tarracciano· Oct 12, 2026“Over the last two weeks, Tate has notched a 58.7% air yards share, second-best among all receivers, along with a 33.3% target share, good for fifth-best. This coincides with Cam Ward ‘s deep-ball rate, which was 8.3% and 6.5% in the last two games, respectively, compared to 3.1% and 0% in the first two, as the Titans are emphasizing getting the rookie involved. Ward continues to be a roller coaster week-to-week, but Tate displayed his ability to separate downfield and pluck passes in traffic against the Ravens’ defense.”

“If Tate can continue building chemistry with second-year QB Cam Ward, the Titans might unlock their offense after all. 32 — Miami Dolphins (0-4, —) Last week: L 10-15 vs. Minnesota Vikings Credit to Miami’s defense, as they kept this one close.”
Ethan Woodie· Oct 6, 2026““ Carnell Tate is my favorite buy-low because I think his role is developing faster than his fantasy production. He caught six of nine targets for 58 yards against the Giants, and I want to buy that involvement before a touchdown makes the box score more exciting. I have Tate at WR29 for the rest of the season, compared with WR42 in FantasyPros’ consensus.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 30, 2026“Carnell Tate might end up being a product of a bad situation with Cam Ward struggling so far, and he can stay on your bench until something changes.”
Jordan Pullett· Sep 25, 2026“Tate has been given as much opportunity as any rookie WR in football, as he leads all rookie WRs in target share.”
Jordan Pullett· Sep 23, 2026“Carnell Tate – 5 targets, 3 rec The Titans drafted Tate fourth overall in the NFL Draft, but through the first two weeks, they aren’t deploying him as an alpha. To be fair, his 11 targets this season account for a 24% target share. He’ll need improved QB play from Cam Ward and a better offensive environment all around to reach his potential for fantasy.”
Aaron Larson· Sep 22, 2026“Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images Question #2 – Season-Long Strategy (Rookie WR Special) Very simple question… Carnell Tate – are you feeling the pantsless breeze just rolling him as a WR1, or do we need to talk about this? – soulcoffin Answer: Drafted with the fourth-overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft back in April, the Ohio State product finds himself in a less-than-ideal scenario on a passing offense that ranked dead last in TDs, 30th in completion %, and 29th in yards through the air…but those numbers do go some way to explaining why the Titans had the 1.04 in the first place.”
PaulMarnie· Sep 12, 2026“Drafting Carnell Tate is a bet on talent and Cam Ward’s ability to take off in his second season with Brian Daboll calling plays.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 4, 2026“While Carnell Tate will see a significant workload, Robinson should lead the Titans in targets and receptions. Chris Godwin Jr. (WR – TB) | ADP: 100.8 ( WR 40) Unfortunately, Chris Godwin Jr. has struggled to stay healthy the past few seasons, missing 18 games in 2024 and 2025 due to injury.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 25, 2026
“Thomas ranks 49th in first downs per route run (0.077), 78th in yards per route run (1.15) and 80th in expected points added (+2.7), per PlayerProfiler. On top of all that, he’s losing work to rookie Josh Cameron . The sixth-round pick out of Baylor is playing roughly 30% of the snaps, but he’s outproduced Thomas lately.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Oct 15, 2026“Thomas had zero catches on three targets against the Eagles on Sunday. Over his last three games, BTJ has 3-25-1 on six targets. He’s played fewer than two-thirds of the Jaguars’ offensive snaps in every game this season.”
Pat Fitzmaurice· Oct 12, 2026“Thomas was drafted 19 selections after Harrison in 2024 and finds himself in a similar boat in Year 3. He had a strong rookie season but then regressed instead of taking the anticipated jump in Year 2. So far in 2026, he also has an inconsistent role in the offense after falling down the pecking order, though not as extremely as Harrison.”

“On Thin Ice: David Montgomery (98%), Blake Corum (87%), Jacory Croskey-Merritt (85%) WIDE RECEIVERS Brian Thomas Jr., Jacksonville (82% rostered) Brian Thomas is below league-average in snap share, total routes run, yards per target, yards per reception, yards after catch per reception, yards after contact per reception, explosive catch rate, and yards per target over expectation. The only statistic that he’s well above league average in is drop rate. Get in on the fun and drop him, too.”
Jeff Krisko· Sep 29, 2026“Thomas has become a spare part in the Jacksonville offense. His snap shares in the Jaguars’ first three games: 35.1%, 54.2% and 39.0%. Thomas hasn’t topped 40 yards in any of those games, and on Sunday he had 1-8-0 on one target.”
Pat Fitzmaurice· Sep 28, 2026“Brian Thomas Jr. (WR – JAC) Brian Thomas had a majorly disappointing, injury-affected sophomore campaign, finishing as fantasy football WR43 overall and WR47 in PPG across 14 games. He averaged 8.2 half-PPR PPG on an 18% target share with 50.5 receiving yards/game, 3 total TDs, and just 7 red-zone targets.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 30, 2026“Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated names Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. as one player to watch in training camp as a "swing factor" after a productive rookie season in 2024 before struggling last season. According to Breer, Jacksonville never considered "selling low" on Thomas after his sophomore slump, and Thomas has had a "constant presence" at the team's facility this offseason and is spending as much time as possible with QB Trevor Lawrence.”
Wyatt Grindley· Jul 12, 2026“It's hard to trust Brian Thomas Jr. as a WR2 in PPR leagues. In situations where Meyers was on the field for the Jaguars last season, Thomas's target share was third on the team at under 17%, and he only caught 18 out of 30 targets for 287 yards and scored once.”
Richard Janvrin· Jul 12, 2026“As a rookie, Thomas had 1,292 yards, 87 receptions and 10 touchdowns. This led to a WR4 finish on the season and a second-round pick in redraft leagues the following season. Thomas then repaid ambitious fantasy managers with a WR44 performance in points per game in 2025.”
Ellis Johnson· Jun 29, 2026“Thomas, 23, posted 1,282 receiving yards as a rookie but saw his production drop significantly the following season. That was partially due to a few injuries that sidelined him for three games and lingered into the offseason.”
Nikhil Mehta· Jun 24, 2026“Jakobi Meyers feels Thomas's football IQ is something that gets overlooked in his game, and believes the longer he's around the game and in his offense, the more he's going to continue to get better and better.”
