Lions WR Golden Tate was substantially better without Megatron in 2014

Calvin Johnson was either out or very limited in five games last season. Golden Tate was good all season but he was unbelievable in those five games. If Tate maintained the pace he set in those five games for 16 games, he would have totaled 125 receptions, 1,917 yards and 10 touchdowns. However, in the other 11 games his pace would have come out to 87 receptions, 1,065 yards and just two TDs. All of this averaged out to him ending 2014 with career-high fantasy numbers of 99-1,331-4.

Fantasy Analysis:

There are quite a few things to take into account this season when drafting Tate this season.
