Fantasy Profile: Golden Tate, Wide Receiver, Detroit Lions
Golden Tate left Seattle in 2014 for Detroit and had the best season of his career in 2014. Tate posted 99 receptions for 1331 yards and four touchdowns. The Notre Dame product had a better season as the number two receiver in Detroit then he had as Seattle number one. However, when Calvin Johnson missed time due to injury Tate shined as the Lions feature receiver.
With the addition of Ameer Abdullah and defenses trying too take away Calvin Johnson, Tate could see a lot of single coverage and but up big numbers in 2015. If Calvin Johnson were too miss any time in 2015 Tate would get a big boost in his value.
