• Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Downturn in production Sunday

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Otton brought in five of eight targets for 35 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. Otton's target total led the Buccaneers on the afternoon, and he was second in both receptions and receiving yards, but the talented tight end was much more effectively controlled than he had been in the previous three games. Otton had posted a 25-258-3 line on 31 targets in that span, but the 49ers were able to limit him to a long gain of 15 yards Sunday. With Mike Evans (hamstring) believed to have a good chance of returning following the Week 11 bye, Otton could see his targets take at least a slight hit beginning in a Week 12 road matchup against the Giants on Sunday, Nov. 24.

• Buccaneers' Cade Otton: TEs to Start

  Otton has been a star since Chris Godwin (ankle) and Mike Evans (hamstring) got hurt in Week 7 against Baltimore, and Otton has scored at least 18 PPR points in three games in a row. He has 31 targets over that span with at least eight catches and 77 yards in each outing, and he has three touchdowns in his past two contests. The 49ers are tough on opposing tight ends, but I still like Otton as a top-five Fantasy option in all leagues.

• Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Another busy night Monday

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Otton secured eight of 11 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night. Otton led the Buccaneers across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, which was unsurprising given the Buccaneers were down all of Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) and Jalen McMillan (hamstring). Otton also recorded his fourth touchdown grab of the season on an 11-yard catch early in the third quarter, erasing a 10-7 deficit at the time. Otton now has at least eight catches and double-digit targets in three straight games, and even with a potential return for McMillan in Week 10, the third-year tight end should remain busy against the 49ers.

  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

  16D 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.
