Outlook Cade Otton
Cade Otton at Dallas — Modest Streaming Option in a Trailing Script
Cade Otton remains Tampa Bay's clear lead tight end, maintaining steady involvement with six targets in each of his past three outings. However, the offense faces major disruption with starting quarterback Baker Mayfield ruled out due to a thumb injury, leaving backup Jalon Daniels to direct the passing attack on the road.
Facing Dallas as heavy underdogs in an expected high-scoring dome matchup, Tampa Bay will likely need to throw often. Our weekly projections forecast roughly 3.8 receptions for 39 yards on nearly six targets (8.7 fantasy points). While the trailing game script helps his target floor, efficiency questions with a backup passer keep Otton in the fringe streaming and deep-league tier.

Outlook Kenny Gainwell
Kenny Gainwell at Dallas — Pass-Catching Upside in Trailing Game Script
Operating behind Bucky Irving in the Buccaneers' backfield, Kenny Gainwell could see expanded work after offensive coordinator Zac Robinson voiced a desire to get him more involved. Tampa Bay enters this matchup as notable road underdogs with starting quarterback Baker Mayfield ruled out, which should force the offense into frequent passing situations.
That script favors Gainwell's receiving profile after seeing seven targets across his last two contests. Our projection pegs him for roughly 7.5 fantasy points, translating to around five carries and two to three catches. Given his modest 11% start rate, fantasy managers should treat him as a bench stash or deep-league flex play.
