Carnell Tate misses practice again Friday (shoulder); ruled out

Out (shoulder). Fantasy football: Carnell Tate misses practice again Friday (shoulder); ruled out. Fantasy football impact and what to do.

By Fantasy Roundup Staff · November 13, 2026 · Updated November 15, 2026

Carnell Tate did not practise Friday after missing Wednesday and Thursday with a shoulder injury and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Jacksonville. The rookie receiver has not played since Week 7 against Cleveland and is unlikely to return until at least 22 November against Dallas.

The absence extends Tate's time on the sideline to three weeks and opens up work for Wan'Dale Robinson and Chimere Dike in Tennessee's receiving corps. With Tate averaging 6.3 targets and 80 per cent of snaps over his last three games, Robinson and Dike will see expanded roles against a Jaguars defence allowing 27.0 half-PPR points a game to receivers, the 15th most of 32.

Fantasy impact

Player by player

Carnell Tate

Tate caught five passes for 69 yards on seven targets whilst playing 89 per cent of snaps in Week 7 against Cleveland before suffering the shoulder injury, finishing with 7.4 half-PPR points. Over his last three games he averaged 6.3 targets and 23 per cent of the target share on 80 per cent of snaps, producing 8.2 half-PPR points a game. His 44 per cent air yards share ranked 11th of 189 receivers over that span, and his 0.65 weighted opportunity rating ranked 14th.

Listed out with the shoulder, Tate does nothing for a fantasy lineup until he is cleared. His work goes to Wan'Dale Robinson and Chimere Dike whilst he remains sidelined. He averaged 8.6 half-PPR points a game over seven contests this season on 7.3 targets and an 82 per cent snap share before the injury. Keep him on benches in all formats until he returns to practice and is cleared for game action.

What to do

• Bench Carnell Tate in all formats whilst he remains out with the shoulder injury.

• Start Wan'Dale Robinson as a flex option with expanded work in Tate's absence against Jacksonville.

• Add Chimere Dike in deeper leagues if you need a receiver, as he logged 58 snaps and caught five passes for 61 yards and a touchdown when Tate missed Week 8.

• Monitor Tate's practice status next week for signs he might return against Dallas on 22 November.
