2012 Outlook: Fantasy Handcuff

Last updated on May-14-2012 by Chris Weeks

Despite being behind Arian Foster on the depth chart last season Tate had a pretty good year. In 15 games Tate carried the ball 175 times for 942 yards and scored 4 touchdowns. Not too bad for a backup running back. If you're an Arian Foster owner you need to add Tate to your roster. It is obvious Tate can get the job done should something happen to Foster. Not only do you assure yourself a quality starter, but you keep opposing teams from using Tate.

July 16 - 27
8.08 DraftCalc.com - Landing Tate is critical for all Foster owners, but I like grabbing him even in leagues/drafts where i don't own Foster. Tate is the one NFL back-up rusher that can play like a low-end RB1 if his starter ever went down.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August)

8.02 FansFantasyFootball.com - Tate has as much upside as any RB at the is point and since I have gone WR heavy, I need RB's with upside. Tate is one play away from being a super stud
