Rookie WR Battle: Bernard vs. Tate Start 'Em Showdown
25 Oct
Summary
- Germie Bernard ranked WR3 in Week 6 PPR fantasy formats.
- Carnell Tate logged his first NFL career touchdown in Week 6.
- Bernard is considered a safer fantasy play due to team's passing game.
In Week 7 fantasy football matchups, rookie wide receivers Germie Bernard (Steelers) and Carnell Tate (Titans) present compelling start-or-sit dilemmas. Bernard delivered an impressive WR3 performance in Week 6, securing 11 receptions for 87 yards and a touchdown against the Buccaneers, capitalizing on injuries to teammates. He is set to face the New Orleans Saints, who have allowed significant yardage to opposing top receivers.
Tate, meanwhile, bounced back in Week 6 with his first NFL touchdown and a WR11 PPR finish against the Colts. He will face the Cleveland Browns, a team that limits passing yards but has shown vulnerability to opposing WR1s. Despite Tate's recent success, Bernard is recommended as the safer fantasy option due to the Pittsburgh Steelers' more stable passing game compared to the Titans'.
