Summary

Running Back Rank: #46All Players: #140

Tate didn't build on his huge season from the previous year, rushing for just 279 yards. He did miss some time because of a hamstring injury but wasn't a huge factor in the offense even when healthy with Arian Foster carrying much of the load. Tate had double-digit carries just two times and had more than 50 yards just once. Tate remains a valuable backup, though. He can do well as a starter and seems to have the makeup to be a solid starter in the league. Remember, he ran for nearly 1,000 yards in a reserve role the previous year. Tate is a good fit for the Texans' offense. He is a one-cut runner that hits the hole in a hurry and can get to the next level with little effort. Tate also has good size, giving him the ability to run over would-be tacklers.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Tate is a must handcuff for Foster owners but his value outside of that isn't great. He took a step backwards last season, failing to do much with his limited touches. He should get more work this year but even with that said, don't expect huge numbers. He can get 600 or so total yards and a few scores.
