The Bleacher Report writes:

While Tate is losing some carries to Crowell, the veteran is getting goal-line work and is a valuable asset as a RB2 or flex in most standard scoring leagues. Touchdowns will always be sporadic in the Browns offense, but Cleveland boasts a talented offensive line Tate can run behind.

His value is all the more extraordinary considering Tate had sat out the first few weeks with a knee injury.

Cleveland destroyed Pittsburgh at home Sunday and suddenly finds itself at 3-2 on the season.  They entered the season with 5/1 odds of winning the AFC North.
