The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the New England Patriots in Week 10. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Cade Otton.
Is Otton Playing in Week 10?
Otton is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Buccaneers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Otton in Week 10?
Cade Otton is going to be a viable tight end streamer for the remainder of the season.
I don’t think the upside, even with a crippled cast around him, is enough to elevate him above that level. For the season, he has just one end zone target (Week 2) and has more games with single-digit yardage totals than games with 55+.
So no, I don’t think he can get to the “reliable starter” level, but with a 20+ yard catch in four straight and plenty of targets up for grabs with Mike Evans out for the year on top of various other injuries, his floor is higher than the names on your waiver wire.
He’s boring and is unlikely to win you this week or any week. That said, the name of the game for many is to roster a tight end that won’t outright cost them their matchup, and I think Otton checks that box.
