  • I’ve listed Makai Lemon’s name here, but I could have just as easily gone with Carnell Tate or Jordyn Tyson .

  • 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?

  • 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).

  • Yesterday, I was speaking with Football Absurdity hair model Waleed Ismail about an auction team he mock drafted where he went heavy RB (Bijan, Hampton, Derrick Henry), and paid down at WR (Carnell Tate, Parker Washington).

    Tony Martin· Jul 30
Jaylen Warren
  • While he will split the work with Jaylen Warren in Pittsburgh, Dowdle should be the lead guy on the ground.

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 31
  • After a career season in 2024 with the University of Iowa, Johnson was a mid-third-round selection by Pittsburgh, which had a clear hole to fill opposite Jaylen Warren , following the departure of Najee Harris .

  • there was only about a half-round difference in the ADPs of Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle , the top two running backs on the Steelers’ depth chart. Warren was at RB30, 80th overall.

  • I try to grab Warren as much as possible in PPR leagues. With Aaron Rodgers back under center, Warren has a chance to be a reception machine.

    Kurt Blakeway· Aug 14
  • He shared the backfield with Jaylen Warren , and the numbers tell a clear story about how their roles split.

  • Warren is coming off the best season of his career after averaging 13.6 fantasy points per game. His fantasy production was in large part due to a career-high eight combined touchdowns.

  • Rico Dowdle (RB – PIT) | ADP 58 Overall, RB29 I’ve long been a fan of Jaylen Warren and the efficiency he’s consistently posted, but he’s failed to fully take over the Steelers backfield in the last few seasons

    Chad Workman· Aug 6
  • Round 8: Jaylen Warren (RB – PHI) Bringing in Rico Dowdle makes me nervous, but with other loaded positions, I started to load up on running back talent that I think could get at least 50% of the carries on their team.

  • Jaylen Warren is a good player, but the Steelers brought in Mike McCarthy and signed Rico Dowdle . Remember that Dowdle was the Cowboys’ running back when McCarthy was head coach.

  • Warren has been the one constant in Pittsburgh’s backfield over the last several years. He’s answered the bell when called on to do whatever has been needed of him. Through the years, he’s become a solid, well-rounded back who can really do it all.

    Kyle Lesti· Jul 20
  • Warren profiles more as the pass catcher and security blanket for Rodgers, but his inefficiency around the goal line may have him giving up those valuable touches to Dowdle, who, despite a small sample size, was extremely effective.

  • Jaylen Warren is a favorite draft target in the seventh round based on ADP.

  • Jaylen Warren should be a target magnet for Aaron Rodgers and is more of an elite playmaker than the newly acquired Rico Dowdle.

  • They swapped in Rico Dowdle for Kenneth Gainwell, and the incoming running back is a better stylistic complement to incumbent Jaylen Warren.

  • Pat Fitzmaurice argued that Warren's pass-catching ability, pass protection skills, and overall versatility make him a strong fit for Pittsburgh's offense. If that role expands further, his current draft cost could become one of the better values at running back.
