Cameron Brate Fantasy

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers restructured tight end Cameron Brate's contract in order to keep him around. Brate was due to make $6 million in 2020, with $4 million of that being guaranteed on Sunday. He has scored 27 touchdowns with the team in the last five years, including four touchdowns in 2019 on 36 receptions for 311 yards in 16 games (six starts). He should be a key red-zone weapon for quarterback Tom Brady in 2020, but his fantasy ceiling will be limited as long as O.J. Howard is around. As long as he's sharing tight end duties, he's unlikely to match his high-water mark of 57 catches for 660 yards and eight touchdowns in 2016. Brate will be a low-end, touchdown-dependent TE2.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate caught all four of his targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in a Week 14 win over Indianapolis. Brate had one target less than O.J. Howard and both should see their target share increase with wide receiver Mike Evans injuring his hamstring in the game. Fantasy managers would need to see it with Brate before buying in as his usage has been sporadic all season making it almost impossible to trust Brate in fantasy.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate caught all four of his targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 14 win over the Colts. After being relegated to blocking tight end the past few weeks, the fifth-year player found himself in the mix as quarterback Jameis Winston peppered targets to all of his pass-catchers throughout the game. With Mike Evans injured, this could mean extra work for Brate, but he is still a touchdown-dependant TE2 for Week 15 versus the Lions Defense.
