Latest takes

Carnell Tate
  • 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.

  • 12 | Carnell Tate | WR, Tennessee Titans You’ve got two running backs, two wide receivers, and a tight end. Naturally, your league mates are assuming you’re getting your quarterback here, right?

    Kyle Lesti· Aug 29
  • Carnell Tate (WR – TEN) Going as the WR32, around the 78th overall pick, Tate carries real, unanimous praise from national draft evaluators.

  • The first receiver selected in this year’s draft class, Carnell Tate continues a long line of highly touted receivers from Ohio State who look to make an immediate impact upon the league. While some analysts think this is a fantastic fit for an up-and-coming team loaded with offensive talent, I remain skeptical that the Titans will put everything together in 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
  • Ward’s rough rookie year came in a barren offense, and Tennessee overhauled it, adding Carnell Tate and Wan’Dale Robinson and, crucially, quarterback whisperer Brian Daboll, whose track record with Josh Allen , Daniel Jones , and Jaxson Dart is exactly the profile you want betting on a second-year leap. Cheap, and trending up.

  • With fourth overall pick Carnell Tate added to this offense and Cam Ward entering his second season, this team should take a step forward.

    Ellis Johnson· Aug 19
  • With a stable coaching staff in place, they’ve supplied Ward with more weapons, including 2026 first-round wide receiver Carnell Tate and former Giants receiver Wan’Dale Robinson , and he has a year of working with other wide receivers like Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor under his belt.

  • Carnell Tate (WR – TEN) Currently the WR14 in dynasty ECR, ahead of several more established veteran names, one analyst believes this is close to as good as Tate’s value will ever be, even after ranking him as his own WR1 in this year’s rookie class.

  • Carnell Tate Egbuka also posted a top-20 all-time rookie season in targets (127)

  • Carnell Tate (WR – TEN) Carnell Tate might have been taken fourth overall in the 2026 NFL draft, but it really comes down to what you believe about quarterback Cam Ward and offensive coordinator Brian Daboll

    Ryan Kirksey· Aug 6
  • Pollard should find running room in 2026 with Carnell Tate and Wan’Dale Robinson added to the passing game, improved play from Cam Ward , and an offensive line that last year was quietly 13th-best in yards before contact per attempt.

  • 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. I want to bet on Tate as I’m in love with the talent. Tate is an amazing route runner who can separate at all three levels of the field after ranking tenth in yards per route run and fourth in receiving grade last season (per PFF).

  • All of these identifiers tell us who Caleb Williams is and who other QBs are that we can group him with.

  • Williams stepping into a record-breaking environment completely deletes his market floor. Johnson’s scheme would demand hyper-efficiency, pushing Williams into a historic TD tier and vaulting him past expensive, established signal-callers straight into elite top-3 overall fantasy status.

  • Andy gets his guy in Caleb Williams at QB in hopes that he can take another step forward going into year three. He jumped from 15 PPG as a rookie to 18.6 last year under Ben Johnson, good enough for a QB7 finish.

    Parker Hagen· Aug 27
  • Caleb Williams (QB – CHI) Last season proved that Caleb Williams could hold his own under new head coach Ben Johnson. He led Chicago to the NFC North title and a playoff win.

  • Caleb Williams (QB – CHI) Williams graded out as a mild negative-regression case, and the notes explain why the risk is real: his QB7 fantasy finish badly outran his passing, as he ranked near the bottom of the league in accuracy and catchable-target rate. His fantasy value is propped up by rushing, so if that production dips even slightly, his stock slides.

  • Another important component in Loveland’s ascent is Caleb Williams . Williams registered an off-target throw on 15.9% of his passes targeted at the rookie tight end last season. Entering his third season in the NFL and second season with Johnson, Williams appears more comfortable running the offense than a year ago.

    Curtis Hirsch· Aug 18
  • Caleb Williams took a big step forward in 2025 under new Bears head coach and playcaller Ben Johnson , finishing QB6 in fantasy scoring. Williams threw for a franchise-record 3,942 yards.

  • Odunze could very well be the WR1 in this offense, and now with Burden sidelined with a groin injury, it will allow Rome to further establish a deeper connection with Caleb Williams .

  • Caleb Williams was once considered a “can’t-miss” quarterback prospect. After a disappointing rookie season, Caleb showed flashes of brilliance in Year 1 with Ben Johnson.

  • Caleb Williams, 2025 (+0.27) Stefon Diggs heads to D.C

  • I can’t say that I dislike Caleb Williams as a fantasy asset; I just don’t think that he should go a full round ahead of Dak Prescott and sixteen picks before Trevor Lawrence.

    Jeff Krisko· Jul 24
  • Williams finished last year as the QB5, averaging 1.6 passing touchdowns and 18.7 fantasy points per game. However, he was the QB7 on a points-per-game basis, averaging less than Matthew Stafford (20.6) and Brock Purdy (19.7).

    Mike Fanelli· Jul 17
  • The community is so busy mourning Moore's departure that they completely ignore the elite talent left behind in Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III and Colston Loveland. To cap it off, Williams gets a five-star schedule to exploit this season.

  • Caleb Williams is coming off a sophomore leap, finishing as the QB6 with 323.3 fantasy points. Despite that elite production, the fantasy community is treating his breakout like a fluke. Williams' value remains secure because he provides a safe floor and a high ceiling with his rushing ability and off-script playmaking.
