The Lions have not looked too good so far, and Matthew Stafford being banged up helps nothing. That being said, Golden Tate has not started this year strong.
Tate's line so far in 2015: 24 targets, 15 receptions, 161 yards and 0 touchdowns. Another piece of this that scares me is that out of those 161 yards, 107 of them are coming after the catch. Now Tate is the type of guy who relies on yards after the catch for sure, a shifty route runner with speed, but all the same it's troubling to know that he's averaging 3.6 yards per catch when he gets the ball.
Weeks 4 and 5 line up dates with Seattle and Arizona for the Lions, so there might be more ugly to stomach for Tate owners. The hope is that Stafford stays upright and is able to find a rhythm with the offense as a whole. When Calvin Johnson gets going, Tate usually follows, but things haven't looked pretty thus far.
