Tate got 24 yards and one of his touchdowns on a Hail Mary pass from Russell Wilson as time expired that appeared to be intercepted by the Packers, but was ruled a score on the field and after replay review.
Fantasy Impact: Tate had a great day fantasy-wise, assuming his final score is upheld by league commissioners. That is a big if, however, as it is pretty clear that the Packers were robbed of victory on Monday. Going forward, Tate may have a few productive outings as the team’s top deep threat, but for the most part he should not be relied on in standard fantasy leagues within a run-heavy offense.
