Carnell Tate
vs Lamar Jackson

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“In both of his matchups with the Cowboys, Jackson has run for 181 yards and a TD.”

“Lamar Jackson has a massive ceiling in what projects to be a high-scoring matchup against the Cowboys. Dallas was getting torched by Jayden Daniels before he went down with an injury, which bodes well for Jackson’s outlook in this spot. With his ability to make plays through the air and on the ground, Jackson has the potential to put up a monster performance here.”

“But Jackson has looked far more like his electric self at the start of this season than he did in 2025. By the end of the season, he should be right up next to (OK, maybe behind) Allen as a top-tier fantasy quarterback.”

“Unfortunately, Jackson had arguably his worst season as a starter in 2025. He missed four games because of injury and played part of the year hurt. The superstar finished as the QB14 on a points-per-game basis among qualifying quarterbacks, averaging 19.8 fantasy points per contest. However, I expect a bounce-back season for Jackson, especially with Declan Doyle taking over as Baltimore’s offensive coordinator.”

“If Lamar Jackson can bounce back, Henry could inch back closer to his 2024 production (RB4 in fantasy points per game).”

“With plenty of time to recover from last season, Jackson is a ticking time bomb for fantasy production.”

“Jackson's 2025 performance was marred by injury and a subpar level of play (by his standards). Therefore, while he has tremendous leverage by virtue of the restructure and the $84.34MM cap number it created for 2027, he may want to come to the negotiating table on the heels of a better season.”

“Jackson mentioned that Doyle is running a completely different system from what Todd Monken deployed last season, while there are some concepts from what Greg Roman ran in 2022. Jackson expects more "explosiveness" this season, and Doyle is proving to be a very creative playcaller. "I feel like there's going to be a lot of explosiveness this year," Jackson said. "The way Declan calls plays and his creativity with his mind — how detailed he is — it's mind-blowing. I'm excited."”

“It was only a season ago that we saw Jackson finish as the QB1 with 425 fantasy points. That was his second time surpassing 400 fantasy points, a threshold that Allen has never exceeded.”

“Over his final eight starts, Jackson was the QB29 in fantasy points per game (11.9). He completed just 57.6% of his passes (28th) with 7 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. He had the highest inaccurate throw rate in the league over that span (15.8%).”
