The 40% of balls caught is inaccurate.
Catch percentage by year:
2018 - 33.3%
2019 - 50%
2020 - 78.6%
So he's improving his catch percentage, which is a good thing.
He deserves to get more opportunities the remainder of this year, especially after his good game.
I doubt we'll ever see Tate ascend to being a 100+ yard receiver in a game, but consistently getting 50-70 yards a game would be solid for a WR3 in a passing-oriented offense.
I pointed out in the game day thread, he doesn’t separate on the x axis well, but he does separate on the y axis at an elite level.
