Carnell Tate or Michael Wilson: Who Should You Start?

Tate's Cleaner Game Script Edges Wilson's Steadier Role

Tennessee's tighter spread points to a controlled game rather than one Arizona has to chase, and that gap matters more than either projection alone suggests. Wilson's role is the safer one on paper, but as a big-bodied possession receiver he needs a competitive script to keep drawing contested targets, and being a double-digit underdog often pulls volume elsewhere late. Tate's rank climb without a settled depth-chart slot suggests his role is still expanding, which is the more useful signal than his raw projection. The risk with Tate is that Tennessee's offense stays low-volume even in control, capping him despite the friendlier number.

What flips it: A blowout in Arizona's game that funnels garbage-time volume to Wilson while Tennessee stays low-tempo in control.
