He continues to be underutilized in an offense that is sputtering. Yes, the Lions got screwed on a bad call in Week 4, but overall it doesn't take away from the fact that Matthew Stafford is really looking awful, and the rest of the team is following suit.
The running game is a bust (Ameer Abdullah certainly earns a mention here as a faller), and even Calvin Johnson is fighting to scrounge up any sort of value for his owners, so where does that leave Tate?
With 18 receptions, 190 yards, and a big fat zero in the touchdown column, that's where. Tate's fantasy football stock is falling by the week, and there doesn't look to be many positive signs of that changing.
