Dodgers do just enough to outlast Braves in opener

The Tennessee Titans selected WR Carnell Tate in the first round of the NFL draft, impacting the fantasy outlook for 2026. His presence alongside Wan'Dale Robinson could lead to significant target shares for both players.
The Tennessee Titans selected WR Carnell Tate in the first round of the NFL draft. What is his realistic 2026 fantasy outlook, and how might his presence impact Wan’Dale Robinson and other Tennessee wideouts?
In what might have been an NFL first, last year this franchise had a rookie QB throwing primarily to three rookie receivers: Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike, and Gunnar Helm. This combo accounted for exactly half of the team’s WR/TE targets. Entering 2026, we can throw most of that out the window, as the Titans have added #4 overall pick Tate, as well as high-priced free agent Robinson.
All of these receivers’ fantasy prospects hinge largely on Cam Ward’s development in Year 2. But there’s almost no doubt that Tate and Robinson will combine for 33% of Ward’s looks, and probably upwards of 40%. If Ward hits 600+ pass attempts, both Tate and Robinson could post top-24 numbers. If it’s closer to 525, then Tate or Robinson could be minor busts.
Either way, there’s not enough to feed secondary options, especially with catch-happy Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears in the backfield. A healthy Calvin Ridley muddies things further, though I can’t imagine Tennessee wanting to keep the post-prime 31-year-old past the trade deadline. He is the rare receiver whose catch rate has declined in each NFL season, bottoming out (for now) at an anemic 43.3% in 2025.
Carnell Tate's fantasy outlook for 2026 is promising, with potential to combine for a significant share of targets alongside Wan'Dale Robinson.
Carnell Tate's addition could limit Wan'Dale Robinson's fantasy value, as both are expected to share a large portion of the targets from QB Cam Ward.
Tate and Robinson are projected to combine for around 33% to 40% of Cam Ward's targets in 2026, depending on his passing attempts.

Between Ayomanor and Dike -- two fourth-round picks last spring -- it might not matter who’s ahead on the depth chart. Last year was a spread-the-ball offense. This year will be top-heavy as expected.
