Golden Tate Week 2 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Wed, Sep 16th 2020, 7:32am EDT

His status is still uncertain for this week, though we did hear mumblings from Giants beat reporters last week that Tate didn't look close to 100 percent in practice, which is likely why he was held out. This game is just six days later, so there are no guarantees. In the new offense, we don't know if he'll have the same role as he did under Pat Shurmur, as Sterling Shepard played in the slot a lot in Week 1. That could've been completely due to Tate being out, but it also could mean be that they plan on rotating these two around, which would be a negative for Tate at his advanced age. Buster Skrine is the Bears slot cornerback who played much better than expected last year but opened 2020 by allowing five catches and 81 yards to Danny Amendola. There are so many unknowns about Tate, it's best to move forward without him this week, as there are many unknowns, including his health.
