• Buccaneers' Cade Otton: TEs to Start

  1H ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  In his past two games, Otton has 17 catches for 181 yards and two touchdowns on 20 targets, and he scored at least 18 PPR points in each outing against Baltimore and Atlanta. He should stay hot against the Chiefs, who are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Without Chris Godwin (ankle) and Mike Evans (hamstring), Baker Mayfield should continue to lean on Otton, and four tight ends have scored at least 10.8 PPR points against Kansas City this season, including two in a row.

• Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Two touchdowns in loss

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Otton secured nine of 10 targets for 81 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. Otton led the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards and targets, not wholly surprising considering the absences of Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (IR-knee). The third-year tight end recorded his second and third receiving touchdowns of the season on five- and four-yard grabs in the first and fourth quarters, respectively, and he now boasts a wide-receiver-like 17-181-2 line on 20 targets over the last pair of contests. Otton could remain similarly busy during a Week 9 road showdown against the Chiefs on Monday night, Nov. 4, considering Godwin is out for the season and Evans isn't expected back until after the Week 11 bye.

• Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Likely headed for target increase

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Otton should have a good chance for an increase in targets over the next several games thanks to the Buccaneers' short-handed receiver corps, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. The third-year tight end's experience and increasing comfort level in coordinator Liam Coen's offense should certainly be integral in helping the Buccaneers navigate what is expected to be a three-game absence for Mike Evans (hamstring) and the loss of Chris Godwin (ankle) for the remainder of the regular season. Otton had already been coming on in recent weeks following a very slow first two games, posting 26 receptions for 258 yards and a touchdown over his last five contests. Otton recorded a career-best 8-100 line on 10 targets during the Week 7 loss to the Ravens which Evans exited in the first half, and similarly busy days in the weeks ahead could be forthcoming when also factoring in the many short and intermediate targets that Godwin leaves behind.

• Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Sleeper TEs

  6D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Otton should benefit the most out of all of Tampa Bay's pass catchers, with Chris Godwin (ankle) and Mike Evans (hamstring) getting hurt in Week 7 against Baltimore. In that game, Otton had eight catches for 100 yards on 10 targets, and he scored 18 PPR points. He scored at least 9.5 PPR points now in four of his past five games, but there's a huge opportunity for him to be the go-to guy for Baker Mayfield moving forward. I would start Otton in all leagues in Week 8 against Atlanta.
