Should I Pick Up Cade Otton For Fantasy Football Week 10? Waiver Wire Outlook

The most challenging position to solidify in fantasy football on a weekly basis is the tight end position. There simply aren't enough talented players to fill fantasy rosters.

If you aren't lucky enough to have Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, Dallas Goedert, or Zach Ertz in that spot each week, you're most likely streaming your TE heading into Week 10. So who has the best chance at success this upcoming Sunday in Week 10?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers haven't met expectations offensively in 2022, particularly in the run game and at the TE position. A Rob Gronkowski retirement and a Cameron Brate injury have led to an unexpected Tom Brady weapon. His name is Cade Otton.

Is Cade Otton A Good Pickup For Fantasy Football Week 10?

Fresh off a game-winning TD in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams, Otton heads into Week 10 with momentum and a juicy matchup in Germany against the Seattle Seahawks' shaky defense. After recording his most receiving yards (68) and catching his first TD of the season, fantasy owners should feel confident streaming Otton against Seattle.

The Seahawks defense has given up the most fantasy points to the TE position. The only reason Otton should not be started is if Brate finds his way back to the field for the first time since Week 6. It's unlikely Brate returns considering the Buccaneers have a bye in Week 11, and the team will probably give him another week to heal.

Will Cade Otton Continue His Fantasy Football Success In Week 10?

Otton is among the league leaders in TE pass routes over the past three weeks and everyone knows how much his QB likes throwing to TEs. The target favorites in Tampa Bay are wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, but if they aren't open, it's likely Brady will look for Otton.

Over the last three weeks with Brate out (amongst TEs), Otton is sixth in targets (16), fourth in yards (147), fifth in yards after catch (82), and has an 85% snap rate.

The Tampa TE was nominated for NFL offensive rookie of the week, showing the rest of the league and fantasy owners that he means business. Otton is a viable streaming option for Week 10 and should see a handful of targets in a pass-heavy Buccaneers offense without Brate on the field.
