Fantasy Impact: Outside of a two-touchdown performance in Week 2, Tate has not done much this season as Arian Foster's backup. While he is more useful in fantasy than the average handcuff, he probably shouldn't be in your starting lineup in standard leagues unless by weeks have left you absolutely desperate. He is a nice player to stash on the bench in case anything happens to Foster, however. If Tate takes over the backfield in Houston, he could produce like an elite fantasy option.
