Cameron Brate NEWS
Cameron Brate A Healthy Scratch On New Year's Day
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate is a healthy scratch and will not play in Week 17 in a big divisional showdown against the Carolina Panthers. Brate's disappointing 2022 continues after he played just eight offensive snaps in last week's overtime win over the Arizona Cardinals. He was expected to be a much bigger part of Tampa's offense this year with no Rob Gronkowski around, but that hasn't worked out for him. The 31-year-old hasn't scored a single touchdown and has secured 20 of his 38 targets for 174 yards in 10 games played (one start). With Brate inactive this weekend, rookie Cade Otton has a prime opportunity to come through for fantasy managers brave enough to stream him against Carolina.
Jan 1, 2023 • 5:12 PM | RotoBallerCameron Brate Not A Streaming Option For Week 14
The good news is that Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (illness) is off the injury report. The bad news is that he likely won't contribute to any fantasy rosters in Week 14. Brate has only 16 receptions for 137 yards and hasn't scored a touchdown through 13 weeks this season. The Buccaneers have plenty of weapons for quarterback Tom Brady, including rookie tight end Cade Otton, meaning targets should be difficult for Brate to find. Facing a 49ers defense that ranks sixth in DVOA versus opposing tight ends, this is a bad matchup for the veteran. Brate should be on fantasy benches heading into Week 14, if not the waiver wire.
Dec 10, 2022 • 2:15 AM | RotoBallerCameron Brate Logs Full Practice Wednesday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. The 31-year-old was sick and missed Monday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Brate will be active Sunday against the 49ers if he can fully practice the rest of the week. The veteran is in a timeshare with rookie tight end Cade Otton and has caught just 16 passes for 137 yards over seven games in 2022. Brate is off the fantasy radar for Week 14 against a 49ers defense that ranks sixth in DVOA versus opposing tight ends.
Dec 8, 2022 • 1:54 PM | RotoBallerCameron Brate Inactive On Monday Night
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (illness) is officially inactive for the Monday night game against the New Orleans Saints. It comes as a bit of a surprise after Brate returned to a full practice on Saturday, but he'll miss the game anyway while being under the weather. The 31-year-old, who still hasn't scored a touchdown this year, will miss his fifth game of the season. With Brate out of the picture, rookie Cade Otton will have some TE2 streaming appeal in DFS for Monday night's game. Kyle Rudolph and Ko Kieft could also be involved. In his first 10 NFL games in 2022, Otton has caught 26 of his 35 targets for 281 yards and one touchdown.
Dec 6, 2022 • 12:05 AM | RotoBallerCameron Brate Logs Full Practice On Saturday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (illness) practiced in full on Saturday. He has been under the weather, so he didn't suit up for the team's previous practice sessions over the last two days. That said, Brate remains questionable ahead of Monday night's meeting with the Saints. However, his upgraded designation is a positive sign, so he will probably be out there barring a setback. The 31-year-old hasn't scored a touchdown this season, and he's also totaled just five catches in the last three games. As a result, fantasy managers should consider other options at the tight end spot for Week 13.
Dec 3, 2022 • 8:59 PM | RotoBallerCameron Brate Misses Another Practice Friday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (illness) missed his second straight practice this week on Friday with an illness. If Brate doesn't return to practice on Saturday, there's a good chance he won't be available to play on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints. But even if the 31-year-old veteran tight end is out there in Week 13, he's not even much of a realistic TE2 streamer in fantasy with rookie Cade Otton's emergence. Brate is still searching for his first touchdown of the 2022 season in seven games and has only 16 receptions on 29 targets for 137 yards. In his last two games, he's hauled in three of his seven targets for 23 yards. Look elsewhere.
Dec 3, 2022 • 4:45 AM | RotoBallerCameron Brate Out Sick Thursday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (illness) didn't practice Thursday. He will have two more chances to practice this week ahead of Monday's game against the New Orleans Saints. The 31-year-old is in a timeshare with rookie tight end Cade Otton. Brate out-targeted Otton 5-0 and finished with two catches for 15 yards in last Sunday's overtime loss to the Browns. Brate has been mostly quiet this season, posting 16 catches for 137 yards over seven games. Fantasy managers can avoid using Brate outside deep-league formats even if he is active against the Saints Monday.
Dec 2, 2022 • 3:24 AM | RotoBallerCameron Brate Questionable For Germany Game
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (neck) is listed as questionable for the Germany game against the Seattle Seahawks. He was a full participant in practice this week and trending in the right direction toward suiting up against Seattle. The 31-year-old has missed the last three weeks due to a concussion and neck injury. He has caught 13 passes for 114 yards over five games in 2022. Cade Otton has leapfrogged Brate in the pecking order for targets in Tampa Bay's passing game. Fantasy managers can avoid using Brate even if he is active against the Seahawks in Week 10.
Nov 11, 2022 • 8:13 PM | RotoBallerCameron Brate Returns To Full Practice Wednesday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (neck) put in a full practice on Wednesday. Brate hasn't played since Week 6 and also missed Week 5 due to a concussion. But he appears to be on the cusp of a return for the Germany game this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. However, rookie Cade Otton has looked good in Brate's absence, catching 13 passes for 170 yards and a touchdown in the four games with Brate sidelined. The 31-year-old Brate will be involved when he returns to action, but Otton's emergence will probably limit his opportunities, at least initially when Tampa brings Brate back. If he plays this weekend, he shouldn't be in starting fantasy lineups.
Nov 9, 2022 • 11:45 PM | RotoBallerCameron Brate, Antoine Winfield Jr. Out For Week 9
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that tight end Cameron Brate (neck) and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (concussion) are out for Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams. Brate will miss his third straight game with a neck injury, and he's also missed four of the last five games. The 31-year-old returned to practice this week, though, so he'll have a good shot to return in Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks. Rookie Cade Otton will continue to serve as the starting tight end with Brate out again, giving him TE2 streaming appeal. Winfield is "trending in the right direction," so he'll also have a chance to return next weekend in London. The 24-year-old hasn't played since suffering a concussion in Week 7.
Nov 4, 2022 • 4:47 PM | RotoBallerMike Evans, Cameron Brate Limited Again Thursday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (ankle) and tight end Cameron Brate (neck) were both listed as limited participants in practice for the second straight day this week. Evans might garner a questionable tag this weekend against the Los Angeles Rams, but he doesn't appear to be in danger of sitting out. Despite Tampa's struggling offense, Evans checks in as the WR11 in half-point PPR leagues and is coming off his second 100-yard game of the season. He hasn't scored since a two-TD performance in Week 4, though. Brate hasn't played since Week 6, but he could make his way back on the field against the Rams this Sunday. If he's active, he'll likely split tight end targets with rookie Cade Otton.
Nov 3, 2022 • 11:07 PM | RotoBallerMike Evans, Cameron Brate Limited Wednesday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (ankle) and tight end Cameron Brate (neck) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Evans has been playing through a balky hamstring, but he was limited at all in the Week 8 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and caught six passes for 123 yards. The biggest issue for Evans is Tampa's lackluster offense, but he remains quarterback Tom Brady's favorite target and is a must-start if active in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams. Brate hasn't played since Week 6, but he appears to be making progress and could return to action soon. The 31-year-old will likely be questionable for this Sunday. If he misses another game, rookie Cade Otton will continue to be on the TE2 streaming radar.
Nov 3, 2022 • 12:47 AM | RotoBallerRussell Gage, Cameron Brate Ruled Out For Week 8
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) and tight end Cameron Brate (neck) have been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Julio Jones (knee) is a game-time decision, so both Breshad Perriman and Scotty Miller could have elevated roles behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin if Jones is unable to play or limited in any way. With Brate sidelined for the third time in the last four games, rookie Cade Otton and Kyle Rudolph will see more usage in the passing attack. Otton is the much better target as a fantasy streamer. The 23-year-old has been playing more in recent weeks with Brate injured, and he has 12 catches on 15 targets for 130 yards.
Oct 26, 2022 • 4:21 PM | RotoBallerCameron Brate, Russell Gage Miss Practice Tuesday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (neck) and wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) both missed practice for the second straight day this week on Tuesday. Brate has missed two of the last three games due to neck and concussion issues, and he's not on the right track to return on Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Rookie Cade Otton and Kyle Rudolph will split tight end duties if Brate cannot play, with Otton being the more attractive TE2 streamer in deeper leagues. Gage will need to get back on the practice field to avoid missing the Week 8 contest. With veteran Julio Jones (knee) getting back to practice on Tuesday, the Bucs could be looking at Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Jones as their top three wideouts against Baltimore.
Oct 25, 2022 • 11:48 PM | RotoBallerCameron Brate Doesn't Practice Monday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (neck) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Brate has missed two of the last three weeks due to concussion and neck injuries, and on a short week against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, it's probably unlikely that he'll suit up. The 31-year-old will have to get back on the field on Tuesday or Wednesday to even have a shot at being active in Week 8. Rookie Cade Otton and Kyle Rudolph will continue to split playing time at the position if Brate misses another contest. In the loss Sunday to the Carolina Panthers, Otton had four catches on five targets for 64 yards, which was second only to receiver Mike Evans. Rudolph caught his only target for eight yards.
Oct 25, 2022 • 2:22 AM | RotoBallerCameron Brate Doesn't Practice On Wednesday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (neck) didn't practice on Wednesday. The veteran tight end suffered a scary neck injury in the 20-18 Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. After catching a six-yard pass from Tom Brady, he got tackled by Myles Jack and didn't get off the ground. Brate was helped off the field by medical personnel and taken to a local hospital. Thankfully, the veteran tight end only suffered a neck injury and not anything more severe. However, fantasy players shouldn't be surprised if Brate doesn't play in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers.
Oct 19, 2022 • 6:13 PM | RotoBallerX-Rays Negative On Cameron Brate
X-Rays came back negative for fractures on Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate's neck after he was taken off the field on a backboard in the Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to a source. Brate was able to travel back to Tampa with the team on Sunday night, which is great news, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to return to the football field anytime soon after such a scary injury. He caught two of his three targets for 14 yards before leaving the game on Sunday. Rookie Cade Otton caught two of three targets for 23 yards against Pittsburgh, and he is likely to be Tampa's No. 1 receiving tight end for however long Brate is sidelined. The Bucs really like Otton, and he's worth a speculate waiver-wire pickup in two-tight end leagues.
Oct 17, 2022 • 5:25 PM | RotoBallerCameron Brate Ruled Out Sunday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (head) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 6 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. He left the game on a backboard after a scary collision. The veteran has movement in all of his extremities and continues to be evaluated. Cade Otton will fill in as Tampa Bay's top tight end for the time being.
Oct 16, 2022 • 7:35 PM | RotoBallerNo Injury Designation For Cameron Brate
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (concussion) was removed from the final injury report on Friday and will play in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brate cleared the league's concussion protocol this week and will play after sitting out the Week 5 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. In four games this year, Brate has just 11 catches on 19 targets for 100 yards and no touchdowns. His return will push rookie Cade Otton back into a backup role at the position. Brate is nothing more than a touchdown-dependent, TE2 streamer for fantasy managers in his return to action this weekend.
Oct 14, 2022 • 7:33 PM | RotoBallerCameron Brate Returns To Full Practice
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (concussion) returned to the practice field on Wednesday and put in a full session. It appears he has passed through the league's concussion protocol after being inactive in the Week 5 win over the Atlanta Falcons. We'll know more later in the week, but Brate appears to have a pretty good shot at returning this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Brate inactive last weekend, rookie Cade Otton got the start and had a season-high six receptions on seven targets for 43 yards. In four games this season, Brate has 11 catches on 19 targets for 100 yards and no touchdowns. If he returns, he'll be a touchdown-dependent TE2 for fantasy managers.
Oct 13, 2022 • 3:52 AM | RotoBallerCameron Brate Ruled Out For Week 5
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (concussion), safety Logan Ryan (foot) and defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (foot) have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons. Brate was unable to clear the league's concussion protocol this week and will miss his first game of the season this weekend. Rookie fourth-rounder Cade Otton saw a much bigger role in the second half last week after Brate's head injury, and he'll take on an elevated role once again this Sunday against Atlanta, making him a TE2 streaming sleeper with some upside in this offense. With Brate inactive, veteran Kyle Rudolph should also be active as a backup option this weekend.
Oct 7, 2022 • 4:49 PM | RotoBallerCameron Brate Trending In The Wrong Direction
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (concussion) wasn't seen at practice in the portion open to the media for the second straight day on Thursday. He's expected to be listed as a non-participant after suffering a concussion in the Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The 31-year-old is trending in the wrong direction for the team's Week 5 game against the Atlanta Falcons. If he's unable to gain clearance from the league, rookie Cade Otton will have a much bigger pass-catching role as the No. 1 tight end for Tampa. The fourth-rounder played a season-high 67 percent of the offensive snaps last Sunday night and caught three of his four targets for 29 yards. Otton would become an upside TE2 streamer in deeper leagues if Brate is inactive.
Oct 6, 2022 • 4:20 PM | RotoBallerNo Sign Of Cameron Brate Wednesday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (concussion) wasn't seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Wednesday, and it doesn't look like he's been cleared from the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in the Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Before getting injured last Sunday night, Brate caught four of his eight targets for 32 yards. If he's unable to get cleared in time for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons, rookie Cade Otton would have a much bigger role in Tampa's passing attack. The fourth-round rookie played a season-high 67 percent of the offensive snaps last week when Brate was injured, and he'd be on the TE2 streaming radar if Brate is inactive.
Oct 5, 2022 • 4:16 PM | RotoBallerCameron Brate Ruled Out With Concussion Sunday Night
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of the Sunday night game against the Kansas City Chiefs after being placed in the concussion protocol. Brate caught four of his eight targets for 32 yards before leaving the game just before halftime, so he at least was able to produce something for his fantasy managers before leaving the game for good. Kyle Rudolph was a healthy scratch for this contest, so rookie Cade Otton will have a bigger role the rest of the game with the Buccaneers down big on the scoreboard with Brate now officially out the rest of the way. Late in the third quarter, Otton has one reception for six yards on his two catches. If Brate cannot pass the concussion protocol for the Week 5 contest, Otton could be in play as a deep-league TE2 streamer.
