Terez Paylor: Lions believe Amendola can fill Tate's "security blanket" role

Among his notes from his visit to Lions' training camp, Terez Paylor of Yahoo Sports reports the Lions think free-agent acquisition WR Danny Amendola can fill the role of "security blanket" left by former Lions WR Golden Tate.

Fantasy Impact: 

The Lions gave Amendola a guaranteed $4.5 million salary this season, so they seem to have some sort of plan for the former Patriot and Dolphin. Injuries have been the biggest issue with Amendola throughout his career, but otherwise, he has certainly been a viable receiver, even if he seemed to disappear while in Miami. It's not out of the realm of possibility for Amendola to compete for the second-most targets among the wide receivers with Marvin Jones, especially on third down. Kenny Golladay should see the lion's share among the receivers, with RB Kerryon Johnson also expected to contribute often in the passing game. Amendola is essentially a free lottery ticket in drafts right now and is currently our No. 83 WR in PPR formats

Source: 'Almost no way' Giants WR Golden Tate wins appeal

Pat Shurmur said it's business as usual as he installs his Giants offense this summer, preparing as if receiver Golden Tate will be in the Opening Day lineup.

But the reality is, he almost certainly won't be.

The 30-year-old Tate may be appealing the four-game suspension he got for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, but "there's almost no way" his appeal will be successful, according to an NFL source. Multiple other sources agreed, saying the NFL's policy is "unforgiving" and "rigid."

Fantasy Impact: 

The story went on to say the best Tate could hope for, the sources agreed, is that the suspension gets reduced from four games to three or, even less likely, two. But not everyone agreed that a reduction was even a possibility. When his impending suspension was revealed last week, Tate released a statement saying he was prescribed a drug by a fertility planning specialist, "and just days later I discovered it contained an ingredient that is on the league's banned substance list."

Golden Tate's suspension stems from treatment prescribed for fertility planning

Updating a previous item on Giants WR Golden Tate's possible suspension, the receiver issued a statement regarding his medicine taken for fertility planning that led to him using a banned substance. Tate says he took a prescription in April as he and his wife saw a specialist for fertility planning and later found out the medicine contained an ingredient that is on the NFL's banned substance list. Tate reported the situation to the Independent Arbitrator of the NFL's Performance Enhancing Substance policy and spoke with his coaches and general manager, stating he did all this well before a failed test was confirmed.

Fantasy Impact: 

Tate has full confidence he will win his appeal as he states this treatment had no effect on the upcoming season and he "did not, and could not have undergone this treatment in April for any competitive advantage." Tate has essentially admitted to taking a banned substance, which may be enough for the NFL to uphold a suspension, whether that's the four games he currently faces or a lesser suspension. But Tate is ready to fight this suspension, as it seems clear this was not taken with football in mind, rather for himself and his wife. A decision is expected to be made before the regular season begins.

Golden Tate facing four-game suspension, will appeal

New York Giants WR Golden Tate is facing a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s Performance Enhancing Substance policy but is appealing the suspension, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Fantasy Impact: 

Schefter reports Tate believes he has a legitimate case to win his appeal, so keep a close eye on this story as it develops. The Giants just cannot catch a break with wide receivers thus far, with Tate facing suspension, Sterling Shepard dislocating his thumb and Corey Coleman tearing his ACL. As it stands, Cody Latimer, Darius Slayton and Russell Shepard are the top receivers currently available for the Giants, which will at least give them extra reps with the first team.
