Tate has been a constant casualty to one of the league’s worst passing offenses. The Titans entered this week with the fourth-fewest passing yards and QB Cam Ward finished Week 5 with just 170 yards for his fourth start this season with fewer than 200 passing yards.
It’s a major reason the rookie WR ranked as the WR30 despite commanding a 29.6% target share that’s the sixth-highest among all WRs.
Tate finished with a season-low 14.3% target share, but it was still the second-highest mark on the offense in Week 5. It’s the first game of his career he concluded accounting for less than 20% of the Titan’s targets.
His next opportunity for a bounce-back performance comes against a Colts defense that was allowing the fourth-most receiving yards entering this week.
