7th round DC is a red flag but he did have a round 5 grade on him from some scouts. Poor combine performance and injuries in college played a part.

Talent
Tate gets knocked for his 4.68 speed, stiffness and lack of separation but makes up for it with his catch radius, strong hands and physical ability to jump up and make highlight reel grabs through traffic & contact
He's very effective on short routes and is an EZ threat

Limited sample size this year but currently has 100% true catch rate (receptions/catchable targets).
Tate was the offensive MVP of Bengals camp and seems to have great rapport with Burrow. His skillset makes him a very QB friendly WR.

Week 8 Performance:
45% snap share
7 targets
7 receptions
65 yards
OC Brain Callahan after the game: "He's definitely got a role that we have to expand and will expand as we move forward." https://twitter.com/emcphil/status/1323410498021445632?s=20

Opportunity
Bengals run 44.9 pass plays per game (#2 in NFL)
Enough volume to support 3 fantasy WRs (Boyd, Higgins & AJG)
14.4% Hog Rate this year (tgts/snap), on par with AJ Green's 14.7%
AJ Green & John Ross are FAs next year. I don't expect CIN to resign either player.

Outlook
Auden Tate is free in dynasty leagues. His upside is capped with Higgins and Boyd on the team but I expect this group to be one of the best WR trios in the league next year.
Tied to a top-8 dynasty QB and an ascending offense, Tate will be a solid WR3 with TD upside.
