Cade Otton's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton once again was an afterthought during Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The young tight end hauled in two of his three targets for 30 yards in the victory. Otton continues to serve as a distant third option in the passing game. In fact, Otton only has five games with more than three receptions this season. He'll be a low priced DFS option for the postseason slated next weekend, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect too much from Otton.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has posted back-to-back dud performances over the last two weeks. Otton has a total of two receptions for 17 yards over his last two games. Otton has fallen in the pecking order and now rookie Trey Palmer is seeing more involvement than him in the offense. That being said, DFS players should be able to find a better option for Week 18. Otton does have a plus matchup against the Carolina Panthers. However, Otton hasn't scored in three games and is basically a touchdown-dependent option.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton improved on his one-catch showing in Week 16 in Sunday's divisional loss to the New Orleans Saints, but not by much. Otton mustered only two receptions on a team-high-tying six targets for a measly 10 yards. The 24-year-old is Tampa's top pass-catching option at the position, but quarterback Baker Mayfield has chosen to target his receivers much more this year. The 24-year-old is averaging only 5.6 half-PPR fantasy points per game in 16 contests, which is tied with Tyler Conklin for 27th at the tight end position. Otton and the Bucs will face the Carolina Panthers for the second time this year in the Week 18 regular season finale in a must-win game. Back in Week 13 against the Panthers, Otton was not targeted despite playing 98 percent of the offensive snaps.
