Tate served as the No. 2 RB behind fill-in starter Matt Asiata. Tate ended the afternoon with five carries for 15 yards as the Vikings defeated the visiting Panthers 31-13.
Fantasy Impact
Tate will likely earn more carries down the stretch as Minnesota will look to see what they have in him. But with Jerick McKinnon (lower back) likely to return, Tate could be the No. 3 RB next week against the Jets.
