Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has been making the most of his extra targets lately. Last week, Otton saw 12 targets while hauling in a season-high nine passes for 82 yards in the loss to the New England Patriots. The handful of injuries to his offense has made Otton a viable option lately. Otton has been able to produce 40 receiving yards or more in each of his last five games. He has done enough on the field to warrant using as a low-end TE1 for the upcoming matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton had his best game of the 2025 season in Week 10, recording nine catches for 82 yards on 12 targets against the New England Patriots. After averaging 2.8 targets per game over the first four weeks of the season, Otton has averaged 7.4 targets per contest over his last five games. The 26-year-old appears to be one of the clear beneficiaries of injuries to Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans (collarbone) and Chris Godwin (leg). With Evans currently on Injured Reserve and Godwin trending towards missing his fifth straight game, Otton should continue to be a featured player in Tampa Bay's passing game. He profiles as a low-end starting fantasy tight end heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton hauled in nine of 12 targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the New England Patriots. Otton set a new career high in targets and tied his career best with nine receptions. With multiple injuries to Tampa Bay's receiving corps, the fourth-year tight end has stepped into a key role. Chris Godwin (fibula) isn't expected back until late November, and Mike Evans (collarbone) remains sidelined, leaving Otton as one of Baker Mayfield's top options alongside Emeka Egbuka. The Buccaneers face the Buffalo Bills in Week 12, a matchup that could feature plenty of scoring opportunities for both teams. With injuries and bye weeks thinning out the tight end options, Otton deserves strong fantasy consideration this week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has seen his involvement in the offense increase over recent weeks. During the first four weeks, Otton was a dud, including two games where he was held without a catch. Since then, Otton has become a viable fantasy option and figures to keep doing that in Week 10. Coming into this game, Otton has at least four receptions or more and 40-plus receiving yards in each of his last four contests. The Bucs continue to be shorthanded on offense and Otton has stepped up and delivered for them. Fantasy managers should continue to ride with Otton as a TE2 for the upcoming matchup against the New England Patriots.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton is hopeful to stay involved during the upcoming Week 10 matchup against the New England Patriots. Otton got off to an awful start to the season, but has seen his role in the offense increase in recent weeks. The 26-year-old has finished with 50 receiving yards or more in three of his last four games. The Bucs are still without multiple wide receivers on offense, so Otton should continue seeing a high volume this weekend. He has done enough on the field to warrant a TE2 play for this weekend.

With his team dealing with multiple wide receiver injuries, Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton seemingly had a golden opportunity to emerge as a heavy target-earner in Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints. Instead, Otton turned in a modest performance, recording four catches for 40 yards on five targets. Tampa Bay will remain without Mike Evans (collarbone) following its Week 9 bye, but wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) could make his return in Week 10 against the New England Patriots. Star running back Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) could also be back in the mix, which would likely take some short-area targets away from Otton. Otton should still provide a relatively stable floor for fantasy managers when Tampa Bay returns from its bye, but he may have missed his highest-upside window of the season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton started off the season by posting some dubs, but has turned it around lately. Over the last four games, Otton has hauled in four receptions or more in every game. The 26-year-old has also finished with 40 receiving yards or more in all of those contests. The Bucs are extremely shorthanded with multiple playmakers out for the foreseeable future. That being said, Otton figures to continue seeing the ball coming his way during the second half of the season. The Bucs head into a bye in Week 9, but Otton should be a viable TE2 in the second half.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has stepped up for this offense over the last few weeks. The Bucs are down multiple offensive players and Otton has been able to make a difference on offense. Last week, Otton hauled in seven of his nine targets for 65 yards in the loss to the Detroit Lions. The 26-year-old has finished with 50 receiving yards or more in each of the last three games. This offense is without Mike Evans (collarbone), Chris Godwin (leg), and Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) for the Week 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Given the Bucs' injuries and the amount of teams on a bye this weekend. Otton should be treated as a TE1 for this favorable matchup against the Saints defense.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has emerged as a more consistent feature in his team's offense in recent weeks. Over his last three games, Otton has recorded 16 catches for 197 yards on 20 targets. Given that Tampa Bay will be without wide receivers Mike Evans (collarbone) and Chris Godwin (leg) for its Week 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints and possibly longer, Otton could have an extended runway as one of the lead target-earners for the Buccaneers. In the three games that both Evans and Godwin missed in 2024, Otton recorded 22 catches for 193 yards and three touchdowns on 29 targets. He profiles as a low-end starting tight end option for fantasy managers in Week 8.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton set season-highs in both targets and catches in Week 7, hauling in seven catches for 65 yards on nine targets in his team's 24-9 loss to the Detroit Lions. The 26-year-old has now hauled in 16 receptions for 197 yards on 20 targets over the last three weeks. With star Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) now set to miss significant time after breaking his clavicle in Week 7, Otton could continue to see consistent usage in his team's passing game. Tampa Bay could be without wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) in Week 8 as well, which would likely leave either Otton or veteran wideout Sterling Shepard as the number two target behind wide receiver Emeka Egbuka for Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield. Otton should be rostered in all fantasy leagues with 14 or more teams heading into a Week 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton caught seven of nine targets for 65 yards in Monday night's 24-9 loss to the Lions. Otton led the team in receptions and yard on Monday night with a banged up receiver room and Mike Evans (collarbone) leaving with a significant injury. Quarterback Baker Mayfield leaned on Otton as his primary short-yardage target, with Otton frequently finding space open downfield. The 26-year-old has a chance to establish himself as a reliable tight end option in the coming weeks, as the Bucs continue to deal with significant injuries on offense.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has picked up the slack over the last few weeks. Otton was awful to start the season, but finished with 81 receiving yards in Week 5 and hauled in five receptions for 51 yards last week. The Bucs are starting to believe in Otton and he's beginning to earn a larger role. It's also worth noting that the Bucs are extremely banged up right now. They're already without two starting wideouts, but Mike Evans (hamstring) and Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) might sit in Week 7 as well. If that happens, Otton could see an expanded role on Monday night. At worst, Otton should be a solid TE2 given his recent success.

With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers facing a rash of injuries at wide receiver, one of the team's answers could be tight end Cade Otton, who is playing an impressive number of snaps and coming off a season high in targets. Otton has played more than 90% of Tampa's snaps for five weeks in a row and has continued to see more work in the passing game. The fourth-year tight end caught nine of 11 targets for 132 yards during the past two games, and although he's looking for his first touchdown of the season, he figures to be a high-quality fantasy TE2 or bye week fill-in against Detroit in Week 7. The Bucs' first injury report of the week will be worth watching, however, as receivers Mike Evans (hamstring), Emeka Egbuka (hamstring), and Chris Godwin (leg) are all dealing with injuries.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has seen more involvement in the offense over the last two weeks, with the team's receiving corps extremely banged up. Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (leg) were unavailable in Sunday's win over the San Francisco 49ers, and rookie first-rounder Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) also suffered an injury that is expected to cost him time. Otton caught five of a season-high six targets for 51 yards in Week 6 and now has nine grabs on 11 targets for 132 yards in the last two games. The 26-year-old's five catches led the team against San Fran. Even if Evans can make it back for the Monday night game in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions, Otton should be in line for an elevated role once again with both Egbuka and Godwin sidelined. He deserves attention on the waiver wire this week and is rostered in only 12% of Yahoo leagues. Otton will be a TE2 streamer in Week 7.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton finally was able to do some damage on the field last week. Otton hauled in four of his five targets for 81 yards during last week's win over the Seattle Seahawks. Before that, Otton was held to six receptions for 34 yards during the first four games. Recently, Bucs offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard said the team wants to get Otton more involved. The Bucs are going to be without wide receivers Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (leg) for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. That should mean that Otton sees more targets coming his way. All things are pointing to Otton getting more chances, so he should offer TE2 value in Week 6.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard said that the team has been trying to get tight end Cade Otton the ball in recent weeks, according to Pewter Report. Otton has come through with some explosive plays recently, with Grizzard saying he is "typical Cade." The 26-year-old was blanked in two of the first three games of the year before catching seven of his nine targets for 90 yards in the last two weeks combined, which coincided with receiver Mike Evans being out with a strained hamstring. Otton has yet to find the end zone in five games in 2025, but he should once again have an elevated role in Week 7 against the San Francisco 49ers with Evans likely to miss a third straight game. Wideout Chris Godwin (leg) might also be trending toward sitting out, which would mean even more looks for Otton. Don't ignore him when searching for a TE2 streamer this weekend.
