Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It's clear the Browns plan to unleash multiple backs in play-caller Kyle Shanahan's attack, but Tate isn't cowed by the competition, telling Mary Kay Cabot: "Nobody in that room scares me." Tate, signed away from Houston as an unrestricted free agent, has spent his career in the shadows of premier back Arian Foster, and isn't concerned about a rookie stealing his reps. Tate also said Kyle Shanahan's zone-blocking scheme suits him well and he expects to have a breakout year. "I expect big things out of myself,' said Tate. Based on his current ADP (21st among all RBs on MyFantasyLeague.com), fantasy football owners aren't so sure. We'll see if that changes as the season draws nearer.
