Carnell Tate, the Tennessee Titans’ fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, has posted 22 receptions for 268 yards through four games but zero receiving touchdowns despite heavy early usage (32 targets). The rookie wideout from Ohio State has emerged as the clear focal point of a struggling Titans passing attack under new coaching, highlighted by a career-best nine catches for 145 yards in Week 4 against Baltimore. His route-running upside remains only partially tapped, with simpler patterns dominating so far, while quarterback accuracy issues have already cost him at least one potential score. A new back injury limited him in Thursday practice, making his Week 5 status against Houston questionable and adding short-term uncertainty to his volume. The 0-4 Titans’ low-scoring offense and Tate’s rookie development trajectory will shape his red-zone opportunities and overall touchdown total for the remainder of the regular season.
