Auden Tate Questionable Against Raiders
Auden Tate (thigh) is listed as questionable for the Week 11 game against the Las Vegas Raiders despite putting in full practices on Thursday and Friday. We'd expect Tate to be active this Sunday, barring some sort of setback. However, the 24-year-old is too buried on a stacked receiver depth chart for Cincinnati. He has only three receptions on four targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in seven games this season, and he hasn't played more than 34% of the offensive snaps in any game since Week 3. Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd and Mike Thomas have all seen more playing time and targets than Tate in 2021.

Falcons Sign Auden Tate, Qadree Ollison
Auden Tate and running back Qadree Ollison to undisclosed one-year deals on Monday. Tate, a former seventh-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in 2018, spent the last four seasons in Cincy and has amassed 61 catches for 799 yards and two touchdowns in 35 career games (12 starts). The Falcons are thin at receiver after losing Russell Gage in free agency and Calvin Ridley to a season-long suspension, but Tate is unlikely to be of much use in fantasy, especially with quarterback Matt Ryan no longer in town. Ollison has just 44 carries for 158 yards and five touchdowns in his three seasons with Atlanta and will continue to serve as RB depth behind Mike Davis and Cordarrelle Patterson in 2022.

Auden Tate, Mike Thomas Doubtful To Play
Auden Tate (calf) and Mike Thomas (illness) missed practice all week and are doubtful to suit up in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Rookie running back Chris Evans (ankle) also missed practice all week and is doubtful. Tate and Thomas have been scarcely used in 2021 as No. 4 receiving options behind rookie Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins, so they weren't exactly on the fantasy radar to begin with. With both Tate and Thomas likely out Sunday, Stanley Morgan should see a slight uptick in snaps played. Evans has just nine carries for 41 yards rushing and has caught 10 of his 11 targets for 127 yards and one touchdown as the No. 3 RB behind Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine.

Auden Tate, Mike Thomas Out Again Thursday
Auden Tate (calf) and Mike Thomas (illness) both missed practice again on Thursday. Tate has been out since Week 7 and had been dealing with a thigh injury before the calf issue cropped up. In any event, he appears unlikely to return in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Thomas could have a chance to play Sunday if he returns to practice on Friday. If neither Tate nor Thomas can play this weekend, Stanley Morgan would serve as the No. 4 receiver behind rookie Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins. Tate has just three catches for 39 yards in a touchdown in seven games this year, while Thomas has five receptions for 52 scoreless yards in eight contests.

Auden Tate, Mike Thomas Miss Practice
Auden Tate (calf) and Mike Thomas (illness) both missed practice on Wednesday. Tate and Thomas have been battling for snaps as the No. 4 receiver behind rookie Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins all season long, but Tate hasn't been available since Week 7. He's caught three of four targets for 39 yards and one touchdown in seven games, while Thomas has five receptions for 52 yards on eight targets in eight games. Neither has been fantasy relevant in this crowded receiving corps. If both Tate and Thomas are unavailable in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers, Stanley Morgan would be Cincy's No. 4 wideout.
