Cade Otton — Active
Otton went without a reception for the first time this season, and he has now combined to reel in one of three targets for four yards over the last two weeks. Tampa Bay leaned on the run in the return of quarterback Baker Mayfield, and Mayfield completed seven of 11 passes for just 64 yards in the victory. Otton figures to have much better days ahead as his quarterback gets back up to speed, and the tight end's first shot at getting back on track will come Week 8 against Atlanta.
Cade Otton — Active
Otton was targeted on just two of Jalon Daniels' 43 pass attempts, good for a lousy 4.7 percent share. The tight end has yet to catch a touchdown this season and has been held below 40 yards in five of six contests. He's a low-floor fantasy option at the position who is best left on waivers.
Cade Otton — Active
Otton was active early, catching two passes on the Buccaneers' first drive. However, he logged only two more targets and one more reception -- an 11-yarder that helped set up a field goal in the third quarter -- the rest of the way. The 25 total yards were a low mark so far this season for the veteran tight end, who has caught between three and five passes in all five of Tampa Bay's games so far. That at least gives him a reliable floor, but Otton doesn't have a very high week-to-week fantasy ceiling.
Cade Otton — Active
With rookie QB Jalon Daniels making his first career start, he leaned on Otton in the passing game, and the tight end ended up leading the team in receiving yards despite seeing one fewer target than Chris Godwin. Otton has turned 23 targets into 15 catches for 157 yards through four games this season.
Cade Otton — Active
Otton finished second on the Bucs in both targets and receiving yards in his best game of 2026 to date. The majority of the tight end's receiving yardage came on a 37-yard connection with Baker Mayfield midway through the second quarter. However, Mayfield is expected to miss at least three weeks of action due to a thumb injury, so Otton will be working with rookie undrafted QB Jalon Daniels over the next few games.
