Cade Otton A Possible TE2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has seen increased involvement in the offense over the last month or so. Otton has hauled in at least four receptions in six of his last seven games. Although, Otton has been held to only two touchdowns during that span, which has hurt his fantasy value. At the moment, he's the third option in the passing offense behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. That is likely going to remain the case going forward. However, Otton does have a fairly solid matchup against the Carolina Panthers this week. He could be a possible TE2 for fantasy managers who are desperate for a tight end.

Cade Otton Holds TE2 Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has finished with four or more receptions in four of his last five games. The young tight end seems to be more involved in the passing attack as the season goes on. Otton has seen five or more targets in four of his last five contests. The problem for Otton has been extending the play and getting yards after the catch. The good news is that Otton has a favorable matchup against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. A defense that has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Despite a good matchup, fantasy managers shouldn't consider Otton anything more than a TE2 for this Week 12 matchup.

Cade Otton Notches Nearly 50 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton quietly had a decent performance during this Week 11 game versus the San Francisco 49ers. Otton bounced back nicely after a 10-yard performance the week prior. On Sunday, Otton hauled in four of his five targets for 49 yards in the loss to San Francisco. He finished first on the team in receiving yards during this game, but was fourth in receptions. He had a few chances to score, but was held out of the end zone this week. He should be able to have success against the Indianapolis Colts next week. He might be able to put himself in the TE2 conversation for that game.

Cade Otton A Risky TE2 For Week 11

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has played fairly well over the last month or so. Otton has recorded at least four receptions in three of his last four games. The 24-year-old is hopeful for better results after a 10-yard performance last week, which was his worst of the season. He won't have an easier matchup versus the San Francisco 49ers defense in Week 11. A defense that has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. At the moment, fantasy managers shouldn't consider Otton anything more than a low-end TE2 for this Week 11 matchup.

Cade Otton Posts Dud In Week 10

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton came into this Week 10 matchup red-hot after two straight strong performances. Sadly, Otton wasn't able to keep it going versus the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The young tight end hauled in two of his three targets for 10 yards in the win. The Bucs really didn't involve Otton in the passing attack this week. Instead, wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin absorbed 16 of the 29 passing attempts in this game. The expectation is that Otton will see a higher usage next week against the San Francisco 49ers. However, he still shouldn't be counted on as more than a low-end TE2 right now.

Cade Otton Has Low-End TE2 Value For Week 10

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has played surprisingly well over the last two weeks. In fact, Otton has 10 receptions for 97 yards and two touchdowns over the last two games. However, he heads into a tough matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 10. A defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends heading into this Week 10 game. Otton has played well lately, but remains the third option in the passing attack for the Bucs. Fantasy managers shouldn't get their hopes too high for Otton this week. He'll be on the fantasy radar as a low-end TE2 for this contest.

Cade Otton Snags Two Touchdowns In Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton came into this game with a total of 174 yards on the season. He was able to put together a career-game versus the Houston Texans in Week 9. Otton hauled in six of his nine targets for 70 yards and scored two touchdowns in the loss. The Bucs haven't really involved Otton much in the passing attack this season, but hopefully this will change their mind. He remains the third passing option in this offense behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Despite that, he's worth an add in most fantasy formats for managers who are looking for tight end help. He could have some TE2 value versus the Tennessee Titans next week.

Cade Otton Has Low-End Streaming Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has seen an increase in usage over the last two weeks. The former fourth-round pick has seen six targets in each of the last two games. It has resulted in nine receptions for 70 yards with zero touchdowns. There could be some PPR value here, but Otton remains a distant third option in the passing attack. He does have a favorable matchup against the Houston Texans defense. However, it's hard to trust anyone outside of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in the receiving game for Tampa Bay. Fantasy managers who are desperate for a tight end can look at Otton, but his ceiling is limited.

Cade Otton Has Low-End TE2 Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has been non-existent throughout most of the first six games. In fact, Otton only has two games with 40 receiving yards or more heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. It's worth noting that wide receiver Chris Godwin (neck) is listed as questionable for this game. His absence could mean more targets for Otton on Thursday. Regardless, Otton is unlikely to have a huge role, which means he's nothing more than a low-end TE2 in PPR formats for this Thursday Night matchup.

Cade Otton Sees Uptick In Usage

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton put together one of his better performances during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Coming into this game, Otton had been held to 20 yards or less in two of his last three games. However, Otton was able to haul in five of his six targets for 43 yards on Sunday. This was a nice outing for Otton, but fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited. The only reliable players in Tampa Bay seem to be Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Otton is normally an afterthought in the offense, so he won't be a recommended streaming option for Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills.

Cade Otton A Risky Streaming Choice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has been quiet through the first five games this season. The 24-year-old has less than 20 receiving yards over the last three games. The Bucs haven't been able to get Otton involved and that will likely remain the case with wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin both healthy. The second-year tight end does have a favorable matchup against the Atlanta Falcons defense. Despite that, Otton won't be anything more than a desperation option in deep leagues.

Cade Otton Tough To Trust For Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has been held under 20 receiving yards in three of the first four games this season. His only solid outing was a six-catch performance in Week 3. The young tight end does have a favorable matchup against the Detroit Lions in Week 6. Despite that, it's hard to trust Otton given the fact the Bucs have targeted him four or less times in three of four games. At this point, fantasy managers should consider Otton a desperate streaming choice for this game.

Cade Otton Unlikely To Succeed In Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton hasn't been much of an option for this offense early in the season. He has two receptions or less in two of the first three games of the season. It appears the Bucs are going to favor Mike Evans and Chris Godwin for a majority of the work through the air. That being said, Otton is unlikely to see a ton of targets in any game. It doesn't help that he'll have a tough matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 4. This Saints defense has done a solid job against tight ends this season. That being said, fantasy managers are better off looking elsewhere for a possible streaming option this week.

Cade Otton Has Low-End Streaming Appeal

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was surprisingly involved quite a bit during the Week 2 matchup with the Chicago Bears. The 24-year-old hauled in six receptions for 41 yards in the victory. The second-year tight end is beginning to build more chemistry with newcomer Baker Mayfield. The hope is that Otton turns into a trusted underneath option for Mayfield this season. He'll head into a Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. A defensive unit that has struggled to contain the tight end position early in the season. That being said, Otton has some low-end streaming appeal to desperate fantasy managers looking for an option in Week 3.

Cade Otton Catches All Six Targets

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was much more involved during Week 2 than he was in the season opener. The young tight end hauled in all six of his targets for 41 yards in the win over the Chicago Bears. It appears Otton is the third option in the passing attack behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. On paper that's a good thing, but Otton didn't do much with his receptions. His longest reception of the game was nine yards. The six receptions might be enough to have some PPR value in deep leagues, but Otton remains a risky choice for the Week 3 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Cade Otton - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton got off to a slow start during the season opener last week. Otton hauled in two of his three targets for 19 yards in the win over the Minnesota Vikings. The 24-year-old split up the targets with fellow tight end Ko Kieft. That being said, Otton looks to have shaky fantasy value going forward. Right now, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are the only reliable receiving options on this team. Otton has the potential to be reliable contributor, but is unlikely to see a heavy usage. He's worth holding in dynasty formats, but Otton isn't a recommended streaming option for the Week 2 matchup against the Chicago Bears.

Cade Otton Sees Three Targets

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was able to get involved during Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The 24-year-old hauled in two of his three targets for 19 yards in the three-point victory. Otton was able to catch both his targets in the second half, but didn't see a ton of action in this game. It's worth noting that he split the workload with Ko Kieft. That could be the plan going forward, which is going to limit Otton's upside. Otton will be a desperation option versus the Chicago Bears in Week 2.

Cade Otton A Risky Start For Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton could very well see an uptick in usage this upcoming season. The former fourth-round pick was a surprisingly viable option for the Bucs last season. Otton hauled in 42 receptions for 391 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games (11 starts) with Tampa Bay. Now, Otton is the primary tight end on the roster, which should result in more usage for him. The good news for Otton is that the Bucs don't have many offensive weapons. He might be the third passing option behind wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Although, it remains to be seen how he'll fare with newcomer Baker Mayfield under center. Otton is probably worth stashing in most dynasty leagues because of his upside. He could be a desperation option for needy fantasy managers in deep leagues, but isn't a recommended choice for Week 1.
