Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
Projections of 66 catches for roughly 899 yards and four-plus scores frame him as a high-upside WR3, and the ceiling rises with second-year passer Cam Ward under Brian Daboll. A top-20 finish is in range if Ward develops. With an ADP near 61 and a favorable late-season slate, he's a sensible Round 6 swing and the top rookie receiver to target. Full outlook

Carnell Tate Rest-of-Season Outlook
WR4 for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR45 at 8.4 PPR points per game.
The next favorable matchups are the Ravens in Week 4 (6th against WRs) and the Texans in Week 5 (5th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
The fourth overall pick lands in a Titans receiver group that lacks the elite talent he played behind at Ohio State, where Marvin Harrison Jr., Emeka Egbuka and Jeremiah Smith capped his counting numbers. The underlying profile travels: 3.17 yards per route run, a 14.6 average depth of target, and a clean sheet on drops point to a refined route-runner who wins downfield and through contact. At 6-2, 192 and just 21, he projects as the field-stretcher opposite Wan'Dale Robinson's underneath work, with a real path to the clear No. 1 role.
Projections of 66 catches for roughly 899 yards and four-plus scores frame him as a high-upside WR3, and the ceiling rises with second-year passer Cam Ward under Brian Daboll. A top-20 finish is in range if Ward develops. With an ADP near 61 and a favorable late-season slate, he's a sensible Round 6 swing and the top rookie receiver to target.
