Outlook Cade Otton

Cade Otton vs GB — Safety Valve Role in a Banged-Up Offense

Otton continues to handle primary tight end duties for Tampa Bay, commanding at least five targets in each of his first three games for 11 catches and 120 yards. However, the Buccaneers offense faces significant change with starting quarterback Baker Mayfield ruled out due to a thumb injury.

Our weekly projections expect Otton to see around six targets, translating to roughly four catches and 40 yards (8.8 fantasy points). While he could see plenty of quick checkdowns in an expected low-scoring contest, the absence of his starting quarterback keeps his ceiling modest as a deep-league option.
