TB TE Cade Otton - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Detroit Lions

Cade Otton had just one catch for five yards and was targeted only twice in Week 1. The good news is the Lions, at least last season, were a favorable matchup for opposing tight ends in fantasy, so perhaps there's hope for a bounceback in Week 2 for Cade Otton. Until we see that, Otton is a TE2 option.

TB TE Cade Otton - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Usually, the best ability for a player is availability. As our John Paulsen notes, Cade Otton has played in 33 of a possible 34 games and played 96% of the snaps in 2023. He didn't play fewer than 91% of snaps in a single game and had three games in which he played every single offensive snap. If anything, Otton is on the field for the Bucs.

Fantasy Downside

The bad news is that, despite always being on the field, it hasn't equaled fantasy success. Otton caught 47 passes for 455 yards and four touchdowns in 2023. He was TE19 last season and 24th in points per game among tight ends. The volume just hasn't been there for Otton.

2024 Bottom Line

Otton can be a serviceable TE2 in fantasy circles, but until we see more from him on offense, that's all he's going to be for the time being.

TB TE Cade Otton - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs New Orleans Saints

Cade Otton only caught one pass for seven yards on his lone target last week. Otton has now finished with two catches or less in four straight games while averaging 16.8 yards per game in that stretch. He gets a favorable matchup this week vs. the Saints (29th aFPA), but he'll be a risky option considering his recent production. We'd likely look elsewhere for your TE needs this week.

TB TE Cade Otton - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Cade Otton finished with two catches for 44 yards last week. Otton has been OK this season, averaging 29.1 yards per game. Otton is hard to trust though as he hasn't had many highs, but has had plenty of lows. We wouldn't trust him in Week 16 despite a favorable matchup vs. the Jaguars (26th aFPA).

TB TE Cade Otton - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Green Bay Packers

Cade Otton saw five targets last week, finishing with two catches for 16 yards, one of which was the game-winning touchdown. It's just the third time in a game this season Otton has found the end zone. Otton hasn't been great this year, finishing below 20 receiving yards in seven of his 13 games. If you're starting him, you're pretty much just hoping he somehow finds the end zone. He'll be a desperation play in Week 15 vs. the Packers (19th aFPA).

TB TE Cade Otton - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Atlanta Falcons

Cade Otton played on 98% of the offensive snaps last week, but didn't see a single target. Otton hasn't been great this season, averaging just 29.0 yards per game. He's finished below 20 receiving yards in half of his games, and has only scored a touchdown in two games this season. Otton isn't much more than a desperation play in Week 14 vs. the Falcons (18th aFPA).

TB TE Cade Otton - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Carolina Panthers

Cade Otton had a decent outing last week, finishing 4-45 on four targets. Otton has been OK this season, averaging 3.5 receptions for 31.6 yards with touchdowns in two games. He's not an elite option at the TE position, but he's usually at least good for something, which can be helpful if you need someone during a bye week. Otton is in the TE10-TE15 range for Week 13 against the Panthers (7th aFPA).
