Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As ESPN.com's Mike Sando notes, Seattle has high expectations for Tate this season, so the missed time is costly in the short term, especially since the lockout prevented him from practicing last offseason as well. Still, he's considered the early favorite to open the season as the No. 2 wideout opposite Sidney Rice. Even if he makes good on that estimation, Fantasy owners shouldn't get too excited. Tate has a ways to go in terms of proving himself while Rice and Doug Baldwin seem to be the most draftworthy wideouts on the Seahawks roster.
