Auden Tate (WR, CIN) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Auden Tate led the team in targets in Week 6 with a season-high 12. He also led the team in receptions (5) and receiving yards (91). Tate's had six-or-more targets in four straight games and has clearly established himself as the team's current No. 2 receiver behind Tyler Boyd, who was held to just 10 receiving yards in Week 6.

Tate is a physically imposing receiver, standing 6'5" and resembling his injured teammate A.J. Green (ankle) in a number of ways, giving quarterback Andy Dalton a tall target to throw to. Green could be returning to the team in the coming weeks, but there are certainly a lot of questions revolving around whether the Bengals will trade him and how quickly he can regain form.

Tate is a great add for short-term help in leagues of 12 teams or larger. He's also a viable target in more shallow leagues for a start this week as a lot of players will be on bye while Tate faces the Jaguars.
