First down catch % is a rarely used and little valued statistic, however, which begs the question as to why it is consistently brought up in reference to Tate and not other WR's around the league or even on the Bengals. For example, John Ross had a 78% 1st down catch % last year.
Basically what i'm saying is, he's the 4th receiver and i feel that 7/7 with 5 first downs is a pretty good contribution to the team. Nothing spectacular or earth shattering. Just good production for the spot he was filling.
If AJs not here, i think Tate has the ability to be a really good #3.
