Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

ANALYSIS: After starting the season with two reception-less games, Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate has now caught touchdown tosses in back-to-back weeks. O.J. Howard might be Tampa Bay’s top tight end, but Brate is showing he has value, too, and could have even more when Jameis Winston takes back his starting signal caller spot, which could happen as quickly as the Buccaneers’ next contest.

Tampa Bay is on bye this week, so if you pick up Brate now it is because you are looking towards the future with your fantasy squad and not just Week 5. Howard injured his knee against Chicago, and if he is out for an extended period, coupled with Winston taking over the offense, then Brate suddenly becomes a fantasy force again in record time.
