Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton took a backseat in the offense during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Otton finished with a 70-yard performance last week, but was unable to keep the momentum going this weekend. He hauled in two of his three targets for 24 yards in the win. His biggest contribution was a key block on the Jalen McMillan touchdown grab in the first quarter. Otton has finished with 30 receiving yards or less in three of the last four games. Fantasy managers can keep him on the TE2 radar for next week against the Dallas Cowboys.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has seen his fantasy value take a dip over the last few weeks. However, Otton was able to have some success during last week's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Otton hauled in three of his four targets for 70 yards in the win. This marked the first time that Otton has hit the 70-yard mark since Week 9. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Otton to produce his TE1 numbers anymore with wide receiver Mike Evans healthy now. Otton has been held to five receptions or less in each of the last four games. He should be considered a TE2 for the Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was able to break out of his slump during Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Otton hauled in three of his last four targets for a team-high 70 yards in the win. It's worth noting that a majority of Otton's yardage came on a 44-yard reception, but at least fantasy managers were able to get something out of Otton. The third-year tight end has taken a backseat in this offense since wide receiver Mike Evans returned to the mix. At this point, fantasy managers shouldn't consider Otton anything more than a TE2 going forward.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has come back down to Earth following his elite three-game stretch. The return of wide receiver Mike Evans has pretty much finished the elite Otton era in Tampa Bay. Over the last two games, Otton has five receptions for 50 yards and he hasn't found the end zone since Week 9. The good news is that Otton does have a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders this weekend. However, Otton had a strong matchup last week and only finished with 20 yards. Fantasy managers should consider Otton as a TE2 for Week 14.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton saw more involvement in the offense after posting a dud last week. Otton hauled in four of his seven targets for 20 yards during Sunday's overtime victory over the Carolina Panthers. It wasn't a great day for Otton on the field, but the seven targets tied him for second on the team only behind wide receiver Mike Evans. Fantasy managers need to prepare for Otton to only be a TE2 going forward. He has failed to surpass 35 receiving yards in a single game since Week 9. Otton should be treated as a TE2 for next week's matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was helping carry the load on offense while wide receiver Mike Evans was sidelined. Last week, Evans made his return to the field and Otton saw his workload take a significant hit. The third-year tight end was able to haul in one of his three targets for 30 yards in the win over the New York Giants. The expectation is that Otton is going to see his value decrease with Evans back in the mix. However, Otton has shown he's capable of being a legitimate contributor, so he should still remain in the offensive gameplan. Fantasy managers should expect a bounce back outing from Otton against the Carolina Panthers this weekend. Although, fantasy managers should keep their expectations in check as his eight-catch games are probably behind him now.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton put together a handful of strong performances heading into the Week 12 matchup against the New York Giants. Sadly, fantasy managers who started Otton this week received a dud from him. Otton hauled in one of his three targets for 10 yards in the win over the New York Giants. The assumption is that the return of wide receiver Mike Evans would take away some of the targets from Otton. However, the expectation was that Otton would still be able to do more than a 10-yard performance. Fantasy managers can be hopeful for a bounce back performance from Otton during next week's game against the Carolina Panthers.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has seen his fantasy value skyrocket over the last month or so. The Bucs are shorthanded on offense which has resulted in a bigger role for Otton on offense. The 25-year-old has seen eight or more targets in each of the last four games. However, Otton could see his role decrease with wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) likely to return in Week 12. The expectation is that Otton will remain involved, but he could lose some targets. Fantasy managers should still be able to lean on him as a TE1 against the New York Giants this weekend. Although, fantasy managers shouldn't too many more 10-plus target games from Otton.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has been unbelievable over the last few weeks, but was finally held in check on Sunday. Otton hauled in five of his eight targets for 35 yards in what ended up being a loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Well, Otton's tremendous run had to end at some point, but at least he was still able to do some damage here. Fantasy managers will have to look elsewhere for help next week with the Bucs on a bye week. After that, wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is expected to make his return to the field. If that happens, Otton could lose some fantasy value heading into the Week 12 matchup against the New York Giants.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has been nearly unstoppable on the field over the last few weeks. Over the last three games, Otton has hauled in 25 receptions on 30 targets for 258 yards and three touchdowns. The Bucs don't have many reliable pass-catchers right now, so they continue to go to Otton and it's working. The expectation is that the San Francisco 49ers defense will plan around holding Otton in check, but fantasy managers should still play him as a TE1 for Week 10. Otton has been too great lately, so ride with him until he gives you reason not to trust him.
