Scouting report

DET WR Golden Tate - Week 11, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Oakland
Golden Tate caught all four of his targets in the win at Green Bay last Sunday. He collected 52 receiving yards and added another 11 on a rushing attempt, but he’s yet to eclipse 80 yards in a game and has only one TD this season. Tate will be facing a bad Raiders pass defense that is ranked No. 31. However, with his lack of production in ’15, Golden should only be started as a No. 3 WR.

DET WR Golden Tate - Week 10, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Green Bay
The frustrating first half of the season continued for Golden Tate two weeks ago in London versus the Chiefs. Golden caught six passes for 59 yards, but is averaging only 47 yards per game with one TD. It will be interesting to see how the Lions respond after the bye week under new OC Jim Bob Cooter. Tate makes for a WR3/flex play on Sunday against a pretty good Packers defense at home.

DET WR Golden Tate - Week 8, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Kansas City
In the home loss to Minnesota last week, Golden Tate was targeted six times, but caught just two passes for 14 yards. He is averaging just 45 yards per game, has not totaled over 80 yards in any contest and only has one TD this season. It's no secret the Lions offense has had its problems in 2015, evidenced by Golden’s performance. While the Chiefs are giving up 368 total yards per game, be cautious about expecting big results from Tate, even with a new offensive coordinator in place.

DET WR Golden Tate - Week 7, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Minnesota
Matthew Stafford threw four touchdowns last week versus the Bears, including the controversial one to Golden Tate in the second quarter. In the win, Golden was targeted nine times, leading to six grabs for 40 yards. The Lions opened up the passing game with more deep balls to Calvin Johnson, which should also help Tate out on underneath routes moving forward. In the first meeting against Minnesota in September, he caught six passes for 80 yards.

DET WR Golden Tate - Week 6, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Chicago
After the Lions fell behind big to the Cardinals last Sunday, Golden Tate received a lot of attention from Matthew Stafford and Dan Orlovsky. He was targeted 18 times, leading to eight receptions for 74 yards (though he also lost a fumble). Golden has just three 20-plus yard catches on the season and is averaging only 53 yards per game with no TDs. Detroit’s offense is having all sorts of issues, but has a chance to right itself at home versus the Bears this week. Go ahead and keep on starting Tate as a WR2 play.

DET WR Golden Tate - Week 5, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Arizona
After receiving only four targets from Matthew Stafford last Monday in Seattle, Golden Tate expressed some frustration this week. In the most recent loss, Golden finished with three catches for 29 yards. On the season, he has only 190 yards and no TDs. The Lions will be playing just their second home game on Sunday, which should result in a better outing, but the Arizona pass defense has been solid so far.

DET WR Golden Tate - Week 4, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Seattle
In the loss to Denver last week, Golden Tate registered his longest reception of the season, turning a short pass into a 33-yard gain. On the night, Golden was targeted seven times, resulting in five grabs for 57 yards. In the first three games of 2015, he has only 161 yards and no TDs. The opponent doesn’t get any easier this week at Seattle. Tate should be considered no more than a flex/WR 3 play on the road Monday night.
