Otton supplied a solid middle-game presence and contributes to TB’s balanced receiving corps. He added to the ongoing tight-end production and could emerge as a red-zone and short-yardage option depending on game flow and Mayfield’s preference.

Otton stacks with a favorable Tampa Bay tight-end role, offering a solid Week 2 target floor with occasional red-zone looks. He’s a reliable tight end option in multiple formats, especially if the Buccaneers lean on him in short-to-mid-range passing.

Cade Otton is cited as a potential Week 2 pivot for fantasy managers targeting a Buccaneers TE against the Texans when Bowers is limited, highlighting stash-friendly upside in a match-up-driven roster plan.

Otton moved from limited participant to full, signaling game eligibility. As TB’s tight end, Otton’s return sharpens TB’s short-to-intermediate passing game and red-zone options. Expect a notable target share if he’s on the field, with fantasy relevance in tight-end formats and DFS lineups.

Otton is limited with a groin injury; TB’s TE depth gets tested. If Otton can’t go, TB’s targets may shift to other receivers or a backup TE, impacting Week 1 expectations.
