Should You Start or Sit Cade Otton in Week 2?
It was my belief this preseason and remains so: the Liam Coen departure will mean more to the fringe talents than the strong talents. Mike Evans is still going to earn his looks, Bucky Irving can carve up defenses in any scheme, and Emeka Egbuka’s profile fits anywhere.
Cade Otton is the type of player I was talking about.
Even in the Coen system, Otton was more of a wind sprinter than target earner. I’m aware that he battled a groin injury late in the preseason and that he may have been moderately limited last week, but three targets and zero catches is disappointing regardless.
The Bucs offense is going to be good. Really good.
Not all pieces from strong offenses need to be rostered.
Both things can be true, and in this case, I believe them to be.
