BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: As expected, Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was the man slotted at the starting TE position with Cameron Brate (neck) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Brate didn't practice last week and stayed on the sidelines come kick-off time.
Otton hauled in six catches for 43 yards in his only game without Brate this season and tasked with doing the same again last Sunday... he got eerily close to mimicking the outcome: 10.4 PPR points to his prior-best that day of 10.3 against the Falcons back in Week 5.
Over the full season, the Bucs' rookie tight end now has 16 total catches for 163 yards through seven weeks of play. He's played at least 49% of all Bucs snaps even with other tight ends around so even if Brate comes back next week that shouldn't totally kill his upside for fantasy GMs.
Otton has proved capable of scoring TE1-level fantasy points but obviously, he's been too bouncy to consider him a weekly performer, thus the low rostership and wide availability. Consider him a good streaming option at a very sallow TE position in deeper formats but not much more than that.
