Auden Tate Fantasy Stats

The Atlanta Falcons released veteran wide receivers Auden Tate and Geronimo Allison on Tuesday. Neither receiver was able to take advantage of the team's lack of receiver depth in training camp this year behind rookie first-rounder Drake London. They'll both look to latch on with another wideout-needy team before the start of the regular season. Tate, 25, has never played in more than 12 games in his four NFL seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. He caught just three of four targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in seven games in 2021. After four years with the Green Bay Packers, Allison played in only three games last year for the Detroit Lions and failed to haul in either of his two targets.

The Atlanta Falcons signed free-agent wide receiver Auden Tate and running back Qadree Ollison to undisclosed one-year deals on Monday. Tate, a former seventh-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in 2018, spent the last four seasons in Cincy and has amassed 61 catches for 799 yards and two touchdowns in 35 career games (12 starts). The Falcons are thin at receiver after losing Russell Gage in free agency and Calvin Ridley to a season-long suspension, but Tate is unlikely to be of much use in fantasy, especially with quarterback Matt Ryan no longer in town. Ollison has just 44 carries for 158 yards and five touchdowns in his three seasons with Atlanta and will continue to serve as RB depth behind Mike Davis and Cordarrelle Patterson in 2022.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers Auden Tate (calf) and Mike Thomas (illness) missed practice all week and are doubtful to suit up in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Rookie running back Chris Evans (ankle) also missed practice all week and is doubtful. Tate and Thomas have been scarcely used in 2021 as No. 4 receiving options behind rookie Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins, so they weren't exactly on the fantasy radar to begin with. With both Tate and Thomas likely out Sunday, Stanley Morgan should see a slight uptick in snaps played. Evans has just nine carries for 41 yards rushing and has caught 10 of his 11 targets for 127 yards and one touchdown as the No. 3 RB behind Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers Auden Tate (calf) and Mike Thomas (illness) both missed practice again on Thursday. Tate has been out since Week 7 and had been dealing with a thigh injury before the calf issue cropped up. In any event, he appears unlikely to return in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Thomas could have a chance to play Sunday if he returns to practice on Friday. If neither Tate nor Thomas can play this weekend, Stanley Morgan would serve as the No. 4 receiver behind rookie Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins. Tate has just three catches for 39 yards in a touchdown in seven games this year, while Thomas has five receptions for 52 scoreless yards in eight contests.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers Auden Tate (calf) and Mike Thomas (illness) both missed practice on Wednesday. Tate and Thomas have been battling for snaps as the No. 4 receiver behind rookie Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins all season long, but Tate hasn't been available since Week 7. He's caught three of four targets for 39 yards and one touchdown in seven games, while Thomas has five receptions for 52 yards on eight targets in eight games. Neither has been fantasy relevant in this crowded receiving corps. If both Tate and Thomas are unavailable in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers, Stanley Morgan would be Cincy's No. 4 wideout.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Auden Tate (thigh) has officially been ruled out for the Week 12 contest against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Tate was doubtful heading into Sunday's game, so it's no surprise that he'll miss yet another game. The 24-year-old has not seen action since Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens and hasn't been on the fantasy radar at all in 2021 while working as the fourth wideout behind rookie Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins in a loaded Cincy receiving corps. With Tate out again, Mike Thomas and Stanley Morgan will fight for snaps as the No. 4 pass-catcher against Pittsburgh.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Auden Tate (thigh) missed practice all week and is listed as doubtful to play in Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. If Tate is inactive on Sunday, it will be his fourth straight missed game. The 24-year-old just hasn't been relevant at all in 2021 in a crowded receiver corps that also includes rookie Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins. Tate has caught only three of four targets for 39 yards and one touchdown in seven games played in 2021. Mike Thomas and Stanley Morgan will battle for scraps as the team's fourth wideout if Tate is on the sidelines again this weekend.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Auden Tate (thigh) remained sidelined at practice on Wednesday after missing the Week 11 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. In any event, Tate doesn't really carry any fantasy value as the No. 4 receiver behind rookie Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins when he's healthy on game day. Mike Thomas and Stanley Morgan could see more offensive snaps this weekend against the Pittsburgh Steelers if Tate misses another game, but it won't amount to much. In seven games in 2021, Tate has been targeted only four times and has caught three of those targets for 39 yards. He'll need an injury or two to those ahead of him on the depth chart in order to become attractive to fantasy managers.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Auden Tate (thigh) won't play in Sunday's game against the Raiders. Considering Tate has just three catches for 39 yards this season and hasn't played since Week 7, his absence doesn't really move the needle at all when it comes to fantasy. Tate should not be rostered in redraft leagues.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Auden Tate (thigh) is listed as questionable for the Week 11 game against the Las Vegas Raiders despite putting in full practices on Thursday and Friday. We'd expect Tate to be active this Sunday, barring some sort of setback. However, the 24-year-old is too buried on a stacked receiver depth chart for Cincinnati. He has only three receptions on four targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in seven games this season, and he hasn't played more than 34% of the offensive snaps in any game since Week 3. Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd and Mike Thomas have all seen more playing time and targets than Tate in 2021.
