DET WR Golden Tate - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Chicago Bears

With the Lions clinging to a one-score lead over Cleveland last Sunday, Matthew Stafford hooked up with Golden Tate on a WR screen that went for a 40-yard TD and put the game away. In the win, Tate was targeted a team-high seven times, leading to 6 receptions for 97 yards. He continues to be consistent, registering at least 6 grabs and over 85 yards in four straight contests. Things may be a bit tougher for the Lions offense this week against a good Chicago pass defense that may be aided by cold weather. However, Tate remains a good fantasy option.

DET WR Golden Tate - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Cleveland Browns

The should injury is just a distant memory for Golden Tate. Last Monday night at Green Bay, he lit up the Packers defense for 113 yards on 7 receptions, his first 100-yard game since Week 1. While he’s only scored twice in 2017, Tate continues to receive plenty of looks from Matthew Stafford and has caught exactly 7 passes in each of the past three contests. Even against a surprisingly decent Cleveland defense, keep on starting No. 15.

DET WR Golden Tate - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Green Bay Packers

After battling a shoulder injury during the bye week, Golden Tate was back on the field last Sunday night against the Steelers. While Matthew Stafford threw for 423 yards, he did a great job of spreading the ball around, as Marvin and T.J. Jones combined to receive 19 targets, leading to 10 catches for 216 yards, while Tate led the team with 7 receptions for 86 yards. Tate still leads the team in targets and receptions and will be on the road at Green Bay, facing the league’s No. 16 pass defense on Monday night. Now that he’s proven he’s healthy enough to play, he should remain in your starting lineup.

DET WR Golden Tate - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Two weeks ago in New Orleans, Golden Tate led Detroit with 7 receptions for 96 yards and his second touchdown of the season. He left the game in the third quarter with a shoulder injury, so the bye week came at the right time for the beat up Lions. Tate leads the club with 36 catches through the first six games, but his status is very much in doubt this week. If he’s able to play, he will face a Steelers defense allowing just 147 passing yards per game. Tate is still a WR3/flex play, but monitor the injury report.

DET WR Golden Tate - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at New Orleans Saints

With Matthew Stafford throwing 35 times last Sunday versus Carolina, Golden Tate was targeted 8 times. He hauled in 5 passes for 48 yards; however, it was the fourth straight game he’d been held to less than 60 yards. Tate is averaging 5 grabs per game, but has scored only once in 2017. On the road at New Orleans could be a shootout, so, despite the disappointing outings the past month, Tate should be used as a WR3/flex play, even if Stafford is unable to go.

DET WR Golden Tate - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Carolina Panthers

Matthew Stafford only threw for 209 yards last week at Minnesota, with Golden Tate collecting a season-low 3 receptions for 29 yards. Since his 107-yard outing in Week 1, Tate has just 14 grabs for 112 yards over his past three contests. Even though he leads the Lions with 32 targets on the season, Stafford continues to connect with a variety of pass-catchers, which has frustrated Tate owners. Carolina’s defense has been stout so far, so consider Tate a WR3 play at home.

DET WR Golden Tate - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Minnesota Vikings

Golden Tate came oh so close to scoring his second touchdown of the game and winning the contest for the Lions last Sunday, but was ruled to be just short of the goal line after review. In the tough loss to the Falcons, Tate led Detroit with 11 targets and 7 receptions, resulting in 58 yards. After not being much of a factor in Week 2, Tate has produced the other two weeks, with a 100-yard game and a score. The Vikings are No. 27 versus the pass, but that stat is a bit misleading, as Minnesota has built up big leads in two of its games. In any event, No. 15 should remain in your starting lineup.
