Golden Tate

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.

Golden Tate ends season on a high note with 104 yards and a score

Golden Tate caught all seven of the balls thrown his way in Sunday's season finale for 104 yards in the Lions' 35-11 victory over the Packers. Tate took one pass all the way for a 71-yard score late in the third quarter as he ran down the sideline an eluded a defender to reach paydirt.

Fantasy Impact

Tate has become a super consistent receiver since joining the Lions as he reached 90 receptions for his fourth straight season and exceed 1,000 for the third time with 1,003 this year. His upside is capped due to his touchdown limitations as he has snagged 4-to-6 scores in each of his last four seasons. Tate has one year left on his contract with the Lions and will look for his fifth straight 90-catch season, although with a new coach and improving offensive weapons around him, he may be challenged to reach that threshold.
