Week 11 at Miami Dolphins
We expected Cameron Brate to have a decent game last week with Mike Evans out, but that was not the case. With new QB Ryan Fitzpatrick in charge, Brate only saw 3 targets, catching 1 pass for 10 yards. Brate now has just 2 catches in his last two games, both of which were with Fitzpatrick at QB. Is this just a temporary slump, or a sign of a new quarterback not favoring his tight end like the old one?
We should be able to know more this week as Brate gets a favorable matchup against the Dolphins. Miami has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to the position, so if Brate has an off-game again, then we can likely tie it to Fitzpatrick.
Still, Brate is one of the few at his position to have success this season, and can still be viewed as a low-end TE1. But fantasy owners have to be concerned with his last two outings.
