Cade Otton at Cincinnati — Deep Streaming Option in Potential Road Shootout

Otton enters the opener as Tampa Bay's clear starting tight end atop the depth chart, preparing for a high-scoring road matchup against the Bengals. With key receiver Emeka Egbuka battling a toe injury, quarterback Baker Mayfield may need to rely on his dependable veteran safety valve over the middle of the field.

Our weekly projection forecasts roughly 3 receptions for 30 yards on over four targets, translating to 7.4 fantasy points. While the projected game environment could encourage plenty of passing volume, Otton is rostered in just 4% of leagues and started in 1%, making him a touchdown-dependent streaming flier rather than a dependable starter.
