Golden Tate Fantasy Football Outlook (2018)

I get it, Tate isn't a sexy pick that'll win you your fantasy league, but he's now finished as a top-34 receiver in each of the last six seasons, including a WR19 finish last year while Marvin Jones had a miraculous season. With the exit of Eric Ebron, some targets may open up over the middle of the field, while Jones now has to fight for perimeter targets with Kenny Golladay. Tate's role in the offense is safe, as he's now seen at least 120 targets in each of the last four seasons. Fun fact: Tate totaled WR3 or better numbers in 61.5 percent of games in 2017, while Adam Thielen was at just 56.3 percent, yet Thielen is going multiple rounds earlier.
