Cameron Brate

Brate sort of paid off as Week 6's chalk streamer by finding the end zone for the third straight contest. Yet he was relegated to 22 snaps and one target with O.J. Howard making a surprising return. He can only help by extending his touchdown streak, the odds of which diminished exponentially with his fellow tight end back in the fold. He's no more than a last-ditch desperation play.

Cameron Brate hauls in red zone touchdown in Week 6 loss

Buccaneers TE Cameron Brate hauled in his only target for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact

While O.J. Howard drew four targets to Brate's one, the latter managed to convert it for a touchdown, his third in as many games. With Jameis Winston back under center, I expect Brate to continue to be involved, especially in the red area, and with or without Howard in the lineup. He'll be a touchdown-needy TE2 for Week 7 against the Browns.
