Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (undisclosed) is not practicing again on Tuesday, and his status for the Buccaneers' preseason game on Saturday is up in the air, according to a source on Tuesday, Aug. 18. Huddle Up: For fantasy, Cade Otton has been a solid, yet unspectacular tight end option, who has found pockets of relevancy when other featured players have gone down in the offense. Otton has posted 59 receptions in each of the last two seasons, but he's not really a red zone threat with 11 career touchdowns in four NFL seasons. On the field in almost all situations, Otton has routes-based upside in that you know he's going to be on the field for Tampa Bay when healthy. That is definitely worth something, as opposed to better target-earning tight ends who cannot get on the field or are stuck in a rotation with other players at the position. Consider Otton a low-end TE2 and a streamable option at the position during bye weeks or if a starting receiver goes down for the Bucs this season.
