Carnell Tate
vs Kyle Pitts

“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.”

““ 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.”

“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.”

“Tate has been given as much opportunity as any rookie WR in football, as he leads all rookie WRs in target share.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Kyle Pitts has been an afterthought to begin the season.”

“Pitts has a 7.4% target share, 0.41 YPRR, zero red zone targets, one deep target, and a 10% first-read share (third on the team behind Drake London and Jahan Dotson ). I’m hesitant to plug Pitts back into a lineup this week. Green Bay has held tight ends to the 13th-fewest yards per target while ranking 16th in fantasy points per opportunity allowed to the position.”

“Kyle Pitts has just one 15-yard catch on four targets over the first two weeks, but the Falcons’ passing game has been nonexistent with Cooper Rush at quarterback. Michael Penix Jr. could return from his knee injury and take over as the Falcons’ quarterback as early as this week against the Packers. Pick up another tight end to staunch the bleeding if you must, but don’t release Pitts yet unless you have only a small handful of bench spots.”

“Pitts is coming off a season where he posted a 90% route rate and a TE4 finish in PPR points per game. Sure, he’s a frustrating asset to own, but most tight ends are. I’m not moving Pitts down in my dynasty ranks based on this one performance.”

“I think it transfers over to 2026. -Derek Brown Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL) Last season, Kyle Pitts finished as the TE2 in total fantasy points.”

“Pittsburgh Steelers Kyle Pitts was a polarizing draft pick.”

“The Falcons don’t have a lot of firepower at wide receiver beyond Drake London , so Kyle Pitts could very well be Atlanta’s No.”

“Players like Jaylen Warren , Terry McLaurin , Rico Dowdle , Rashee Rice , Jameson Williams , Emeka Egbuka , Quentin Johnston , and Kyle Pitts can all become interesting depending on where they are still available in your draft.”
