The Seahawks plan to use Golden Tate on punt returns this season.
Percy Harvin is more of a kickoff returner and Leon Washington's departure leaves punts open to competition. Tate will also compete with Doug Baldwin to be Seattle's No. 3 receiver. They're behind Harvin and Sidney Rice at wideout. Apr 27 - 12:11 AM

Golden Tate - WR - Seahawks

ESPN's Mike Sando suggests Golden Tate will move on from Seattle following this season.

Tate enters a contract year as the clear-cut No. 3 wideout. The Seahawks have made significant financial commitments to both Percy Harvin (signed a six-year, $67M contract last month) and Sidney Rice (five-year, $41M contract in 2011). They are unlikely to be the highest bidder when Tate hits the open market.

Golden Tate - WR - Seahawks

Golden Tate caught six passes for 103 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Divisional round loss at Atlanta.

The former Notre Dame star got Seattle's second-half offensive barrage started with a tackle-breaking 29-yard touchdown. With the Falcons keying on Marshawn Lynch and Sidney Rice, Tate exploited single coverage in coming within two yards of a career high. Although he proved to be a reliable playmaking sidekick to Rice, Tate's inconsistent offensive role leaves him as a WR4/flex in fantasy leagues.

Golden Tate - WR - Seahawks

Golden Tate caught four passes for 35 yards in the Seahawks' Wild Card round victory over the Redskins.

Tate and Doug Baldwin shared the receiver lead with five targets. The Redskins bottled him up after the catch, preventing big plays. Look for the Seahawks to continue to lean on the ground attack in the Divisional round meeting with the Falcons.
Jan 6 - 7:59 PM
Golden Tate - WR - Seahawks

Golden Tate caught three passes for 105 yards in Seattle's Week 17 win over the Rams.

Tate reeled in three of his four targets, and his gains went for 44, 31, and 30 yards. He was working mostly on Rams rookie cornerback Trumaine Johnson throughout the afternoon. In his third year out of Notre Dame, Tate set career-highs all across the board. He ends the regular season with 45 catches for 688 yards (15.28 YPR) and seven touchdowns. Tate and the No. 5 seed Seahawks will travel to Washington or Dallas next week in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

Golden Tate - WR - Seahawks

Golden Tate caught two passes for 27 yards in Seattle's Week 16 win over the 49ers.

A combination of the 49ers taking away the deep ball and the Seahawks salting away yet another game early limited deep-threat Tate to only three targets. He's now been held to just seven catches for 97 yards over his past three games even though the Seahawks have rung up 150 points in the process. Tate is often a difference-maker on the field, but it doesn't always translate to the box scores.

Golden Tate - WR - Seahawks

Golden Tate caught three passes for 64 yards in the Seahawks' Week 15 win over the Bills.

Tate saw just four targets on the day as the Seahawks jumped out to a 31-7 lead midway through the second quarter. Considering he hasn't topped six targets since Week 8, Tate will be hard to trust as a WR3 in Week 16. He had no catches when the Seahawks lost to the Niners in Week 7.

Golden Tate - WR - Seahawks

Golden Tate caught two passes for six yards in the Seahawks' Week 14 win over the Cardinals.

Tate was targeted on a wide receiver screen in the red zone early on, but it was one of the few plays the Cardinals actually defended all day. Once the Seahawks rolled to a 38-0 halftime lead via their defense, special teams and running game, Tate was done. He'll be a borderline WR3 in a tough matchup at Buffalo next week.

Golden Tate - WR - Seahawks

Golden Tate caught five balls for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks' Week 13 win over the Bears.

Tate's on-field confidence has seemed to build as the season has moved along, and he's establishing himself as a dangerous run-after-catch weapon. It showed up Sunday on a 49-yard catch-and-run play. Although Rice's re-draft start-ability is always shaky due to Seattle's run-heavy offense, his long-term prospects look bright. He'll be on the WR3 radar in Week 14 against Arizona.

Golden Tate - WR - Seahawks

Golden Tate caught four passes for 56 yards in the Seahawks' Week 12 loss to the Dolphins.

Tate made one of the plays of the day with a spectacular 32-yard grab at the end of the first half that brought the Seahawks down to the 5-yard line. Two plays later, Russell Wilson cashed in with a scrambling pass to Anthony McCoy. Tate won't be a fantasy option in Chicago next week, but he will be on the deep-league radar against the Cardinals and Bills in Weeks 14 and 15, respectively. He's a playmaker.

Golden Tate - WR - Seahawks

Golden Tate caught two passes for 51 yards and a touchdown and threw a 23-yard scoring pass to Sidney Rice in the Seahawks' Week 10 win over the Jets.

Similar to last year -- although a bit earlier on in 2012 -- Tate is really coming on during the second half of the season. He's now accounted for four touchdowns in his last two games, and is worth hanging onto in fantasy leagues as a WR4/5 through Seattle's Week 11 bye. Tate has playmaking ability and the Seahawks understand it; otherwise they wouldn't be putting the football in his hands on option passes and wide receiver screens. Particularly if the Seahawks lean on Russell Wilson more, Tate can be a fantasy asset down the stretch.

Golden Tate - WR - Seahawks

Golden Tate caught four passes for 28 yards and two touchdowns and added two carries for 21 yards versus the Vikings in Week 9.

Tate beat A.J. Jefferson for a 6-yard touchdown and broke a couple of tackles before hurdling into the end zone on a highly athletic 11-yard score. Tate has shown flashes of playmaking ability this season, but his fantasy ceiling is capped by inconsistent targets in Seattle's run-heavy offense. He's a mere flex option versus the Jets in Week 10.

Golden Tate - WR - Seahawks

The Seahawks planned for Golden Tate to split time with Braylon Edwards at split end in Week 8.

Edwards ended up as a last-minute scratch when his knee swelled up Sunday morning. That allowed Tate to play all the snaps and finish with a 7/64/0 line on seven targets. With Edwards, Doug Baldwin (ankle) and Ben Obomanu (wrist) all banged up, Tate projects for a solid role once again in Week 9 against the Vikings.

Golden Tate - WR - Seahawks

Coach Pete Carroll said Golden Tate "tweaked" his ankle in Sunday's game at Detroit.

The injury wasn't enough to sideline Tate, who gained 16 yards on a desperation hook-and-ladder on the game's final play. He may be listed on the injury report this week, but Tate should be fine for Week 9 versus Minnesota.

Golden Tate - WR - Seahawks

Golden Tate led the Seahawks with seven receptions on seven targets for 64 yards in Week 8 at Detroit.

Tate picked up a key 4th-and-2 conversion to set up Zach Miller's 16-yard fourth-quarter touchdown. He was stopped after 16 yards on a hook-and-ladder in the last play of the game. Tate can't be counted on as a fantasy option for Week 9 versus the Vikings.
