2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tate was used sparingly by the Rockets during the 2024-25 season. Across 52 regular-season appearances, he was limited to 11.3 minutes per contest with averages of 3.6 points and 2.3 rebounds. He never came close to any real fantasy value, and things are looking just as bleak in 2025-26. The Rockets re-signed Tate to a one-year deal, but his chances of securing a rotation spot do not look great. The Rockets acquired Kevin Durant from Phoenix, and they have a plethora of forwards, including Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith, Dorian Finney-Smith and Tari Eason. Barring several injuries, Tate won't be on the fantasy radar to open the season. Read Past Outlooks

Goes through contact work
Tate (ankle) was able to take contact at Saturday's practice, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
According to coach Ime Udoka, the Rockets are still hoping Tate will be ready for Opening Night. Tate is projected to be on the edge of the rotation to open the season, so this news doesn't have a ton of fantasy implications.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
After strong showings in both 2020-21 and 2021-22, Tate basically vanished off the face of the earth last year, playing in just 31 games. In that time he averaged 9.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.7 steals per game, all career lows. Looking ahead to the 2023-24 season, he is almost the forgotten man when it comes to projecting the Houston rotation. The Rockets have loaded up on young pieces, with Tate now having to battle Dillon Brooks, Tari Eason and Cam Whitmore for playing time. It would appear as though both Eason and Brooks will be ahead of Tate, with Whitmore snapping at his heels. Given the depth in Houston, there is a chance Tate is not even in the rotation come opening night, making him an afterthought in most fantasy leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Hopeful for Opening Night
Tate said Friday that he's hoping his ankle is 100 percent by Opening Night, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Tate has been sitting out the preseason as he works his way back from a lingering ankle injury that he had surgery on over the summer. "I'm going day-by-day. I hope that's the case," Tate said, when asked about being ready for Opening Night. "I feel like I've been on a leg and a half the last couple of years, so looking to just be able to move a little better, not be in my head about it. And, yeah, I can't wait." With Tate hobbled by this injury, the chances of him cracking Houston's revamped rotation are pretty slim.
