Entering his fourth-season with the Buccaneers and in the NFL, Brate is going to try and build upon many things.
First and foremost is his rapport with franchise quarterback Jameis Winston, whose fantasy football value we evaluated previously.
Secondly, and in direct correlation with the first, is his statistical output.
In 2016, the Harvard product ranked 12th in catches and yards while tying for the top spot in touchdown catches.
These totals resulted in his finishing as the seventh overall tight end in all of fantasy football scoring.
Not a bad finish of course, but fans of this Bucs player would prefer a Top-5 finish.
