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.

Huddle Up: Otton has been an every-down tight end for the Buccaneers over the last few seasons, and he'll remain with Tampa Bay after agreeing to terms on a new deal. With a 59-catch, 572-yard campaign in 2025, Otton's fantasy production has largely come when some of the Buccaneers' stars have been hurt. Otton tends to fade into the background at times, but ultimately, he's a low-ceiling TE2 for fantasy football in 2026 as he remains with the Buccaneers.

Huddle Up: Otton's production has fluctuated from one game to the next in Tampa Bay, but when injuries have thrust him into a bigger role, he has flashed his upside. If he lands in a offense that features him more consistently, Otton could be in the TE1 mix in deeper leagues in 2026.

Huddle Up: Otton had become a forgotten man in the offense in recent weeks, but in a must-win game, he led the team in catches, targets and receiving yards. Otton has flashed TE1 upside at times this year, but a lack of consistency makes him more of a streaming option than a weekly starter.

Huddle Up: Otton recorded his most receiving yards since Week 10, and while he is a safe bet for a couple of catches per game, the yardage totals typically leave a lot to be desired. Throw in the fact that Tampa Bay's receiving corps is now at full strength, and Otton is a low-end TE2.

Huddle Up: Otton has tailed off significantly, going or 28 or fewer yards in each of the past five games. He should only be trusted as a low-end TE2 in most fantasy leagues heading into Week 17 in Miami.

Huddle Up: Otton is on track to return to the lineup after missing some time because of the injury. He has been held to under 30 yards in each of his last four games and likely can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Otton has not been a reliable target in the offense all year, and that is not changing in Week 16. He can be avoided in your fantasy lineups the rest of the year.
