News

  • Three grabs in defeat

    Brate secured three of four targets for 23 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Rams on Monday night.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end showed up on the stat sheet for the second straight game after a largely invisible first nine weeks of the season. Brate now has multiple receptions in consecutive contests for the first time all season after posting a 3-31-1 line against the Panthers in Week 11. Despite the modest impact, the reality is Brate's numbers could quickly plummet on any given week, given the wealth of talent at the pass-catching positions for the Buccaneers. The Harvard product will look to…read more

  • Finds end zone in win

    Brate secured all three of his targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 46-23 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The oft-forgotten tight end was able to make a nice impact in the contest with a five-yard scoring grab late in the first quarter. The catch represented Brate's second visit to the end zone this season, with the other having come Week 4 against the Chargers. Despite the surprising success Sunday, it's worth noting Brate had a combined 4-46 line over the prior four games, making him a speculative play at best for a Week 11 Monday night showdown against the Rams.

  • No targets in Week 9 loss

    Brate did not see a target over 12 snaps from scrimmage during the Buccaneers' 38-3 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end's blanking on the stat sheet unfortunately might become more of the norm moving forward, much to the chagrin of he and his fantasy managers. Even on a night when Tom Brady was forced to go heavily to the air, the fact the rest of the team's extremely deep pass-catching corps was at full health resulted in Brate being a complete non-factor. Brate will hope to have at least a modest number of opportunities in a Week 10 NFC South battle against the Panthers.

  • Pair of grabs in close win

    Brate brought in both of his targets for 35 yards in the Buccaneers' 25-23 win over the Giants on Monday night.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end was a solid complementary presence, trailing position mate Rob Gronkowski by two catches and two targets while playing just 12 snaps for the second consecutive contest. Brate does have at least one catch in five straight games, but his already shaky level of involvement could take a further hit with the expected Week 9 debut of Antonio Brown (suspension) adding another asset to the pass-catching pool.

  • One catch in big win

    Brate brought in his only target for an eight-yard catch in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Analysis: Brate logged just 12 snaps from scrimmage overall, which constituted 17 percent of Tampa Bay's offensive plays on the day. The veteran's playing time was at its lowest point since prior to O.J. Howard's season-ending Achilles tear, so it remains to be seen if Sunday's usage was merely an outlier or the start of a longer-term trend. What is more certain is that the target share of the remaining members of Tampa Bay's pass-catching corps will take a hit once Antonio Brown (suspension) hits the…read more

  • Limited to once catch

    Brate hauled in his only target for three yards in the Buccaneers' 38-10 win over the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: With Chris Godwin returning from a hamstring injury, position mate Rob Gronkowski logging a team-high eight targets and Ronald Jones responsible for most of the remaining offensive production, Brate was mostly a forgotten man one game after posting a season-best 5-44 line in a Week 5 loss to the Bears. O.J. Howard's season-ending Achilles injury theoretically bumps Brate up a notch on the depth chart, but that doesn't necessarily equate to being a very high priority in a talent-rich…read more

  • Reemerges in Week 5 loss

    Brate secured five of six targets for 44 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-19 loss to the Bears on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Kept in proverbial mothballs for the first three games of the season, Brate was on the radar for the first time in 2020 in Sunday's win over the Chargers by virtue of a three-yard touchdown grab. However, he was back to playing a significant role Thursday, tying Mike Evans for the team lead in receptions and drawing even with Rob Gronkowski and Tyler Johnson for second in targets. The absence of O.J. Howard (Achilles) for the rest of the season should give Brate a chance to continue building on…read more

  • Scores on first catch of '20

    Brate brought in his only target for a three-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end had yet to be targeted coming into Sunday's contest, and although he only played on 16 snaps (21 percent) against the Chargers, Brate was able to make the most of the one ball thrown his way. Ironically, his first-quarter touchdown grab came way before O.J. Howard suffered what coach Bruce Arians termed a ruptured Achilles, but given his teammate's season-ending injury, Brate now stands to see his role significantly expand beginning with Thursday night's Week 5 battle…read more

  • No catches Week 3

    Brate was not targeted during Sunday's 28-10 win against the Broncos.

    Analysis: The Harvard grad has seen only 16 total offensive snaps over the first three weeks of 2020, and Tom Brady has yet to target him once. Rob Gronkowski and O.J. Howard are the only Tampa tight ends with any receptions at eight apiece. Brate collected 36 catches, 311 yards and four touchdowns last year while splitting duties at the position with Howard, but his current role appears to be extremely limited.

  • Non-factor again in Week 2

    Brate played on just four snaps from scrimmage in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Panthers and did not record a target.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end saw one target that he failed to bring in during the Week 1 loss to the Saints, and Brate was even less of a presence against Carolina. With top two tight ends Rob Gronkowski and O.J. Howard logging 42 and 34 snaps respectively, on Sunday, Brate is the clear odd man out, even with position mate Antony Auclair (calf) on injured reserve.

  • Blanked Week 1

    Brate failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 34-23 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: Tom Brady put the ball up a relatively modest (by passing-era standards) 36 times, and with Brate considerably down the pass-catcher pecking order, he saw minimal opportunity. Position mates Rob Gronkowski and O.J. Howard saw a combined nine targets go their way, and Brate could similarly find himself behind the duo on many weeks this season. Brate will look to record his first 2020 catch in a Week 2 battle against the Panthers.

  • Stands out in Wednesday's practice

    Brate made several noteworthy catches during Wednesday's training camp practice, a session fellow tight end Rob Gronkowski sat out for rest, Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Brate has arguably gotten the least press of the Buccaneers' impressive top tight-end triumvirate thus far in camp, but Wednesday, he took advantage of both Gronkowki's absence and his solid rapport with backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert, who got extra reps himself with Tom Brady also getting a veteran's day off. Vitali relays Brate made grabs all over the field and at varying depths of target, including a quick-hitting dart over the middle in a blitz period, an intermediate reception as…read more

  • Reveals prior COVID diagnosis

    Brate, who was a frequent attendee at the informal workouts Tom Brady organized this offseason, recently revealed he was infected with COVID-19 at some point, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear at what point of the offseason Brate was infected, and the veteran tight end has not elaborated on whether he had any symptoms. However, Brate did confirm the diagnosis in an Instagram post, during which he also promoted plasma donations for those who have survived the virus. Brate has since recovered and reported to camp with the rest of the veterans, and he'll look to continue developing a rapport with Brady while working in a deep tight end group that also includes Rob…read more

  • Attends Brady-organized workout

    Brate was among a contingent of Buccaneers skill-position players that attended a workout organized by Tom Brady at Berkeley Preparatory School on Tuesday, Rick Stroud and Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times report.

    Analysis: Brate reportedly had already been getting some work in with Brady for multiple weeks, but he was joined by a significant number of his teammates Tuesday. That included fellow tight end O.J. Howard but apparently not Rob Gronkowski, who already has plenty of familiarity with the Buccaneers' new quarterback. Brate's track record of dependable routes and hands -- not to mention his red-zone prowess -- could make him one of Brady's more dependable second-tier targets when the future Hall of Famer…read more

  • Less likely to be moved

    Brate is less likely to be traded than O.J. Howard in the wake of the Buccaneers' acquisition of Rob Gronkowski on Tuesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Auman cites two principal factors for this line of thinking, the first being that Brate already agreed to a contract restructure in March that saw him take a $4.25 million pay cut to remain on the roster for 2020. The other is the likelihood the 28-year-old would fetch a lower draft pick in a trade than the younger and more athletic Howard, despite Brate's superior proficiency in the red zone and more productive career to date. If he indeed remains in Tampa for the coming season, it's…read more

  • Staying with Bucs

    Brate agreed to restructure his contract with Tampa Bay on Sunday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Brate was originally due to make $6 million with the team in 2020, but he's expected to take a pay cut of some kind. He's been a steady contributor for the Buccaneers in his career, as over the past five years, his 27 touchdowns ranks fourth among tight ends over that span. Despite likely sitting behind O.J. Howard on the depth chart heading next season, his fantasy value received a major boost when Tom Brady elected to sign with Tampa Bay.

  • Makes sole grab count in finale

    Brate secured one of three targets for a two-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 28-22 overtime loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: He finished the 2019 season with 36 receptions (55 targets) for 311 yards and four touchdowns across 16 games. Brate at least managed to get into the end zone during the finale, salvaging what was otherwise a disappointing performance. The tight end did boost both his reception and receiving yardage totals over those of 2018, but his numbers were still modest. Brate's production was unpredictable from week to week, as he posted a trio of catch-less efforts and also had three one-reception…read more

  • Pair of catches in loss

    Brate secured two of five targets for 17 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Saturday.

    Analysis: The expectation was that Brate and fellow tight end O.J. Howard would see an uptick in workload Saturday with both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin sidelined due to hamstring injuries. However, that didn't equate to any uptick in production for Brate, who actually generated his lowest production of the last three games. It's likely Godwin misses the Week 17 tilt against the Falcons, while Evans is already on injured reserve; therefore, the possibility for extra targets could be there for Brate once…read more

  • Trio of grabs in win

    Brate secured three of seven targets for 33 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-17 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end tied for second with Breshad Perriman for targets on the afternoon, and he was just one behind the pace set by position mate O.J. Howard in that category. Brate's target share was his second highest of the campaign as well, and he could be in for a solid workload again Week 16 against the Texans with both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin set to miss the contest due to their respective hamstring injuries.

  • Gets into end zone

    Brate logged 24 snaps and secured all four of his targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 38-35 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end got into the end zone for the first time since Week 6 on a three-yard grab with 38 seconds left in the first half. Brate's four receptions also served as his second-highest tally of the season and snapped a miserable two-game stretch during which he secured one of two targets for five yards. Brate and fellow tight end O.J. Howard combined for eight catches overall, an elevated total for the position in Bruce Arians' offense and one that could become the norm for any games…read more

  • Minimally involved in Week 13 win

    Brate brought in his only target for five yards in the Buccaneers' 28-11 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Analysis: A week after going without a reception for the third time this season, Brate managed only a slight improvement against the Jaguars. In contrast, position mate O.J. Howard recorded a season-high five receptions, but the use of the tight end position in coach Bruce Arians' offensive scheme continues to feature considerable game-to-game volatility. Brate will look to improve his production versus the Colts in Week 14.

  • Invisible in Week 12 win

    Brate failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 35-22 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: A week removed from a career-high 10-catch tally versus the Saints, Brate was a complete non-factor against the Falcons. At this stage of the season, trying to figure out how much the Buccaneers' tight ends -- be it Brate or O.J. Howard -- will be involved on any given week is pure guesswork, and neither player is therefore a reliable option heading into a Week 13 matchup versus the Jaguars.

    Brate secured 10 of 14 targets for 73 yards in the Buccaneers' 34-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: Brate paced the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yardage and targets, putting together his best performance of the season after not seeing a target in Week 10 against the Cardinals. The veteran tight end's production has been anything but trustworthy, with the fact he came reasonably close to exceeding his season reception tally of 15 catches Sunday a fitting example of how uninvolved Brate has often been. Brate will look to follow up with another strong effort versus the Falcons in a Week…read more

  • Targetless in win

    Brate was not targeted during Sunday's 30-27 win over Arizona.

    Analysis: Brate has not been targeted in his last two games, during which he has logged only 11 and 15 offensive snaps, his two lowest totals of the season. Brate has not been utilized to the same extent as seasons past under new head coach Bruce Arians and he appears to be trending downward. Next up is a matchup against a Saints squad that held him to one 11-yard catch in Week 5.

  • No targets in loss

    Brate (ribs) wasn't targeted in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Analysis: Brate saw fellow tight ends Tanner Hudson and Antony Auclair rather surprisingly log two targets apiece while he was shut out altogether. There was no report prior to the game Brate would be under any sort of snap limit if he was active, and there were no immediate details available after the game with respect to Brate's lack of involvement. The veteran tight end will look to bounce back in Week 10 against the Cardinals.

  • Active in Week 9

    Brate (ribs) is active for Sunday's Week 9 tilt against the Seahawks, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Brate was trending upward as the practice week went on, and this confirms his status as the No. 1 option at tight end for Jameis Winston against Seattle with O.J. Howard (hamstring) inactive. With Jordan Leggett (coach's decision) a healthy scratch as well, Brate will be backed up by Antony Auclair and Tanner Hudson for the second straight week, although neither seems to be a serious threat to Brate's snaps.

  • Questionable despite full practice

    Brate (ribs) was a full practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Seattle, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: After opening the week as a non-participant in practice, Brate upgraded to limited participation Thursday and then full participation Friday. Despite the questionable designation, Brate seems to be on track to play Sunday, while fellow tight end O.J. Howard (hamstring) has been ruled out for another week. Brate caught three passes for 32 yards in last week's 27-23 loss to the Titans, with season highs for both targets (six) and snap share (67 percent).

    Analysis: While Brate still appears to be battling his rib injury, he was able to take the field for the second straight day after sitting out Wednesday's session. Brate's status for the Week 9 game in Seattle won't be determined until later Friday. If Brate is able to take the field this weekend, he could earn another start with O.J. Howard (hamstring) trending toward another absence.
