TB TE Cameron Brate - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Cameron Brate made a name for himself two years ago with his eight-touchdown season and 660 receiving yards. He followed that up with a solid 2017 campaign, finishing with 591 yards and six scores. The Bucs rewarded his great play with a six-year contract, which means they clearly have trust in him, despite the arrival of 2017 first-round pick O.J. Howard.

Fantasy Downside

If you read our fantasy profile on Howard, then we’ll basically say the same thing here about Brate. Both of these players are capable of putting up TE1 numbers, but the two of them together is a headache for fantasy owners as they’ll likely make each other TE2 options. Brate is talented, but it’s hard to have two tight ends put up consistent production in fantasy every single week.

2018 Bottom Line

Brate should have a solid season for the Bucs, especially as a red zone threat, but don’t expect a Pro Bowl campaign as he splits time with Howard. Brate is a decent late-round option or waiver pickup as a streaming option depending on the matchup. He’ll be a good touchdown-or-bust choice most weeks.

TB TE Cameron Brate - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. New Orleans Saints

We're not sure what happened to Cameron Brate this season, but he's really fallen off in recent weeks. Last week he had just 13 yards on 3 catches. We thought he might be more involved with O.J. Howard done for the season, but he instead put up a lousy performance.

Brate still has some upside as a red zone threat, but that's pretty much all he has at this point. He's a TD-or-bust option as a low-end TE1.

TB TE Cameron Brate - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Carolina Panthers

Cameron Brate had his most receiving yards last week (49) since Week 8, as he saw some increased targets due to O.J. Howard being hurt. The rookie has since been placed on injured reserve, which makes Brate an interesting option moving forward.

He's struggled lately, but his early-season start combined with no Howard should make him a solid option this week in a decent matchup against the Panthers. He should be viewed as a low-end TE1.

TB TE Cameron Brate - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Cameron Brate reverted back to being bad last week. We thought maybe Jameis Winston was the magical formula, but Brate finished with just 1 reception for 11 yards last week. He now has just 7 total catches in his last six games, making him a very hard option to trust. He's a strong red zone threat, but he has just as much of a chance of catching one pass as he does a touchdown.

In a fairly tough matchup against Atlanta, Brate is nothing more than a TE2.

TB TE Cameron Brate - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Detroit Lions

Cameron Brate came alive last week due to the return of Jameis Winston. For some reason, Ryan Fitzpatrick hated Brate and barely threw to him when he was the starter. But with Winston, Brate has pretty much been a lock for a TD every week, proven in Week 13 with his two scores.

While the touchdowns were exciting, it's worth noting they were his only catches of the game. While it's nice to see him in the end zone again, it's important to temper expectations. But owners should be excited this week in a favorable matchup against the Lions. Brate is back to being a TE1.

TB TE Cameron Brate - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Green Bay Packers

Cameron Brate's value took a nosedive with Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback, catching just one pass in each of his last four games. The good news is Brate gets Jameis Winston back this week in a decent matchup against the Packers.

Owners are probably upset at Brate's production as of late, but considering the trend started when Fitzpatrick took over it has to mean there's a correlation. It's hard to trust Brate this week, but don't be surprised if he's able to bounce back. He should be viewed as a TE2 with upside.

TB TE Cameron Brate - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Atlanta Falcons

Cameron Brate's struggles with Ryan Fitzpatrick continued last week as the tight end only caught 1 pass for 12 yards on 3 targets. Brate was an easy TE1 with Jameis Winston at QB, but with Fitz behind center the last three games he has just 1 reception in each game.

Brate has fallen out of the TE1 picture now, which has to be frustrating for owners. O.J. Howard, on the other hand, was fairly involved last week, catching 3 passes for 52 yards and a touchdown.
