Look out, fantasy football managers! There’s a new top-five tight end in town … and his name is Cade Otton. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been ravaged with injuries this season, including those of star WRs Chris Godwin, out for the year with a dislocated ankle, and Mike Evans, who is working his way back from a hamstring injury.
The biggest benefit of these newly available targets in the offense has undoubtedly been Cotton, who managed his third straight week of 10+ targets, 8+ receptions and 77+ receiving yards in Week 9. Despite getting off to a slow start in the year, these three consecutive top-five finishes at the position have catapulted him to a spot as the TE3 overall this season.
In Week 10, the Buccaneers will face the San Francisco 49ers — a team that ranks bottom 10 in fantasy points per game allowed to opposing tight ends. Can Otton’s heavy involvement in the passing game be enough to overcome Fred Warner & Co. in Week 10? Find out where he stands in our team’s Week 10 TE rankings:
