The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will visit the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. 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 Cade Otton Playing in Week 12?
Otton is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Otton in Week 12?
Cade Otton is fall in the North East.
Temperature-wise, you know what you’re getting. We are going to be in this 35-50 degree range for a while with not a ton of variance. You might notice some nice foliage on a drive to work one day or be annoyed by snow flurries, but in large, you know what you’re signed up.
Last week, we got flurries from Otton (two catches for 28 yards) one week after getting a beautiful view (nine for 82). You know this is part of the deal, but it doesn’t change your basic assumption for what the weather is going to be.
In this case, 8-12 PPR points is 35-50 degree weather. That assumption will change if this offense gets healthy faster than expected, but until then, Otton is a boring TE who hovers around 10th in the rankings every single week, with the understanding that his role is his value. That consistent routes are worth more at this position than they are others.
I can’t remember the last time I was excited about plugging in Otton, but I also can’t remember the last time he failed in consecutive weeks when the offense was missing pieces.
