Outlook Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate at Indianapolis — Target Volume Beckons in a Trailing Script
Fully removed from a minor back concern that slowed him last week, Carnell Tate remains entrenched as a primary starting receiver alongside Calvin Ridley. Even as Tennessee struggles through an 0-5 start, the rookie wideout has shown high-end ability, having drawn 17 targets over his last two games.
Entering as road underdogs against the Colts, negative game script should force Cam Ward to air it out indoors. Our projections slate Tate for around 4.6 receptions and 56 receiving yards on roughly 7.5 targets, putting him firmly on the radar as a solid Flex option.

Outlook Austin Ekeler
Austin Ekeler at San Francisco — Limited Role in a Tough Road Matchup
Ekeler was limited in practice this week wearing a non-contact jersey while dealing with a chest issue, though he avoids an official injury designation. With Bill Croskey-Merritt ruled out, Ekeler should operate as the primary change-of-pace option, though he has logged just seven carries and three targets over his last two games.
Facing an undefeated 49ers team as heavy road underdogs, Washington could be forced into a pass-heavy script. Even so, our weekly model projects roughly 6.4 fantasy points on seven rushes and two targets. Rostered in just 8% of leagues, Ekeler is best left on fantasy benches outside of the deepest formats.
