Fantasy Impact: Although teammates Terrance West and Isaiah Crowell have done a decent job filling in for Tate the last few weeks, it appears Tate will still have his role as the team's feature back when he returns. If he practices in full like Coach Pettine expects, he'll definitely play against the Tennessee Titans this week.
While it’s exciting for Tate’s fantasy owners that he’s finally returning, it remains to be seen how he’ll do as the number one guy in the backfield. He spent the first few years of his career in Houston trying to steal carries from Arian Foster. To say the least, he’s paid his dues and earned this opportunity.
Fantasy owners who held onto Tate should definitely start him against a struggling Titans squad. Feel free to pick him up if he happens to be available on the waiver wire.
