7 NFL FanDuel Sleepers for the Wild Card Round, Presented By Casper
Golden Tate, WR, Detroit Lions
FanDuel Price: $6,100
As I mentioned for Zenner, Theo Riddick is out this week. And while they play different positions, his absence has generally meant big things for Golden Tate this season.
Tate has averaged 6.7 receptions, 95.5 yards and 0.3 touchdowns on 10.3 targets per game through six contests without Riddick, compared to 7.3 targets, 5.1 receptions, 50.4 yards and 0.2 touchdowns per game in 10 with Riddick playing this year.
Like Zenner, Tate has a tough matchup, but the likelihood that the Lions are playing from behind does hint at the potential for increased volume in the passing game, giving Tate a great floor relative to his price tag.
