Fantasy Football Player Notes

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. I want to bet on Tate as I'm in love with the talent. Tate is an amazing route runner who can separate at all three levels of the field after ranking tenth in yards per route run and fourth in receiving grade last season (per PFF). He finished college with an otherworldly 68.8% contested catch rate, and he had zero drops in his final season despite a 14.6 aDOT. Tate will have to contend with Wan'Dale Robinson and Calvin Ridley for the WR1 spot in the Tennessee offense, but he has the talent to be the clear WR1 from Week 1. It just comes down to how quickly he can hit the ground running and how many weapons can Ward support in 2026. I'll be drafting Tate a ton.

Wan'Dale Robinson quietly delivered a breakout campaign in 2025, finishing as a top-20 WR in points per game while cementing himself as one of the most underrated volume earners. The former Giant expanded beyond his underneath role, seeing more downfield usage while surpassing 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career. Now reunited with Brian Daboll in Tennessee, Robinson profiles as a natural fit alongside young QB Cam Ward thanks to his separation skills and reliability underneath. His massive target-earning profile gives him sneaky upside, especially in full-PPR formats where volume is king.
