Scouting report

TB TE Cade Otton - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Arizona Cardinals

Cade Otton saw just one target last week, catching one pass for 20 yards. Otton had some success earlier in the year when he was the only relevant tight end on the team. But with Cameron Brate healthy, the two tight ends make each other irrelevant for fantasy purposes. Otton is nothing more than a desperation play at TE for Week 16.

TB TE Cade Otton - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Cade Otton had an OK outing last week, catching four of his five targets for 28 yards. Fellow tight end Cameron Brate also saw four targets, catching two passes for 12 yards. Otton was a nice option while Brate was injured as he saw just a few more looks that gave him an extra boost in fantasy. But Brate being back in the lineup takes just enough away from Otton to put him in TE2 territory. Plus, he gets a tough matchup against the Bengals (4th aFPA) this week. Otton is outside of our top 20 tight ends for Week 15.

TB TE Cade Otton - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at San Francisco 49ers

Cade Otton saw 10 targets last week, which only trailed Chris Godwin (13) on the team. Otton finished 6-28-1 as he caught yet another clutch red zone touchdown. Otton getting 10 targets is interesting considering the week before he had 0 targets. We'll see what Otton can do in Week 14 in a tough matchup against the 49ers. San Francisco has allowed the fewest average fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season, including giving up just one touchdown to the position. Otton's sporadic usage and tough matchup makes him somewhat risky, but he offers more upside than most tight ends at this point in the season. He'll be a low-end TE1 option in Week 14.

TB TE Cade Otton - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. New Orleans Saints

Cade Otton played on 36 snaps last week (52%) but didn't see a single target. Instead, Cameron Brate had five targets while fellow tight end Ko Kieft ended up scoring a touchdown. Otton had some fantasy relevance with Brate inactive, but with both of them in the lineup, they kind of cancel each other out. Otton is outside our top 20 tight ends this week.

TB TE Cade Otton - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Cleveland Browns

Cameron Brate returned from injury in Week 10, but Cade Otton still had a solid role, finishing 3-35 on three targets. But Brate was also involved, catching one pass for eight yards on two targets. Otton also saw a little decrease in playing time, playing 61% of the offensive snaps after playing over 80% in the games where Brate was inactive. Otton will still be involved in this offense, but Brate might steal a couple of receptions, which really impacts someone who only averages about three catches a game. With Brate back, we wouldn't trust Otton.

TB TE Cade Otton - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Seattle Seahawks in Germany

Cade Otton continues to develop into a serious receiving threat. Last week he saw six targets, finishing 5-68-1. He even gained Tom Brady's trust with the game-winning touchdown, which just happened to be the first score of Otton's career. Cameron Brate has gotten in some full practice sessions this week, so there's a chance Brate returns from his neck injury. If he does, it'll be interesting to see how the Bucs will utilize Otton moving forward. It's hard to see them straying too far considering his production, though. Either way, Otton draws a great matchup vs. the Seahawks this week, who have given up the 2nd-most average fantasy points to tight ends this season, including the 2nd-most total receiving yards. Otton should be viewed around TE15 in the rankings this week.

TB TE Cade Otton - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Los Angeles Rams

Cade Otton saw five targets last week, which only trailed Mike Evans and Chris Godwin on the team. But he only finished with two receptions for 15 yards. Otton has played at least 50% of the offensive snaps starting in Week 4, and since then has averaged 3.4 receptions for 34.8 yards with no touchdowns. While 34.8 yards doesn't sound like much, only 15 tight ends are averaging more than that this year. So Otton may not be lighting up the scoreboard, but he's a decent bye-week filler if you need it in Week 9. Although he is facing a Rams defense that's allowed the fewest receptions to tight ends this season.
