Auden Tate News
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.
