Cameron Brate-TE-Tampa Bay Buccaneers (43.5%)

Over the last few weeks both Jameis Winston and I have developed a habit of going to Brate on a regular basis. Winston’s attention to Brate makes him the tight end to look to add from the waiver wire week 13.

The last two weeks have actually trended a bit down for the 6’5′ target out of Harvard. He hauled in four of his five targets in Tampa’s big win against the Seahawks totaling 49 yards. It was an improvement on his 18 yards last week against the Chiefs, but I think better things are ahed for Brate who will try to get back into the end zone like he did five times earlier this season.

The Bucs have games in the coming weeks against the Chargers, two against the Saints, and the Panthers who have all been very beatable by opposing TE. Brate is going to be a borderline TE1 the rest of the way, and he’s the best available option in most leagues by a wide margin.
