Weekly Writeup
Otton has been a monster with Evans and Chris Godwin injured. He has been a TE1 in the games without them. His targets may go down, but Mayfield will still need the reliable option. The Giants are middle of the pack against TEs, but it is a potential top-five TE this week.

Bottom Line

Otton is much more valuable in real football than fantasy.

He saw an increase in TD opportunities last season, but it was never consistent enough to feel confident starting him.

His TD dependency will continue in the Buccaneers’ new offense.

Otton’s lack of upside makes him a low-end TE2 at best.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Otton posted a season-long stat line of 47 catches for 455 yards and four TDs on 67 targets.
  • His per-game numbers were a slight improvement from his rookie season in 2022:
    • 3.94 targets (4.06)
    • 2.76 receptions (2.63)
    • 26.8 yards (24.4)
    • 0.24 TDs (0.13)
  • Otton ranked as the TE20 in PPR fantasy points and TE27 in points per game.
  • He missed no games due to injury and has not missed a game in his NFL career.
  • Otton had four top-12 finishes. He also had seven TE25 or worse finishes.
  • His target share (13.0%) was an increase from 2022 (10.7%)
  • Otton led all TEs with 699 pass routes last year but failed to finish higher than 20th in targets, catches, or receiving yards.
  • Among 31 TEs with 45+ targets, Otton ranked
    • 28th in Pro Football Focus receiving grade
    • 30th in yards per route run (0.94)
    • 19th in average target depth (7.0)
    • 26th in percentage of team air yards (9.23%)

What to Expect in 2024

  • Otton enters his third season with the Buccaneers under HC Todd Bowles
  • New OC Liam Coen spent last year as the Kentucky OC after coordinating the Rams in 2022.
    • In 2022, the Rams ranked 24th with 531 pass attempts.
  • The Buccaneers are expected to take a slight step backward. They are tied for second in the NFC South with a 7.5 win total at most sportsbooks.
  • The Buccaneers have the 21st-highest odds to win the Super Bowl at +5500 on most sportsbooks, second-best in the division.
  • Otton enters his third season at 25 years old. According to our aging curve research, the average TE with Otton’s career produces at peak value at age-25.

Cade Otton, TE TB

Cade Otton Stays Hot vs. Chiefs

Bucs WR Jalen McMillan (hamstring) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Chiefs. He injured his hamstring in Saturday’s practice, leaving him iffy for Week 10. The Bucs have a Week 11 bye. WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) is active, joining Trey Palmer, Rakim Jarrett, Ryan Miller, and Marquez Callaway in this undermanned WR corps. TE Cade Otton is the best bet for Bucs targets tonight.

The Falcons and Buccaneers celebrated National TE Day with Kyle Pitts and Cade Otton each scoring two TDs. Pitts ended catching four of five targets for 91 yards while Otton caught nine of 10 targets for 81 yards. Pitts nearly gave one of his away with a fumble over the goal line, but was ruled a TD.

Bucs WR Mike Evans is expected to miss the next three games with his hamstring injury, HC Todd Bowles said. Tampa Bay gets the Falcons, Chiefs, and 49ers the next three weeks before a Week 11 bye. It sounds like Evans has a good chance to be back for Week 12.

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin suffered a significant left leg injury late in Monday night's loss to the Ravens. He left the field on a cart with an air cast on the bottom half of his leg, and ESPN declined to show replay of the injury (because of the severity). This sure seems likely to end Godwin's season.

Update: HC Todd Bowles said after the game that early indication is a dislocated ankle and that it "doesn't look good," NFL Network reports.
