Cincinnati allowed the most receptions to opposing tight ends in 2024 and followed that up with an historically bad 2025, allowing the most receptions again and a staggering 17.45 fantasy points per game to the position. The source calls Otton "the top streamer of Week 1" and notes he is not a set-it-and-forget-it for most fantasy managers but should be targeted by squads who plan to taxi a tight end off waivers most weeks. The Buccaneers open the season on the road against the Bengals in what projects to be the highest-scoring game of the week. With Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan dealing with injuries, Baker Mayfield will likely lean on Chris Godwin and Otton in order to keep pace with the high-powered Bengals offense.PositiveMatchupSep 9, 2026
Otton's 9.7 career yards per reception average and 11 total touchdowns across 63 games over four seasons may not be overly enticing on their own, but his Week 1 matchup against Cincinnati is highly favorable. The Bengals allowed by far the most FPPG to tight ends last year with 116 catches, 1,444 yards and 16 touchdowns, making Otton a sneaky-good start despite modest career production.PositiveValueSep 7, 2026

Cade Otton will continue to receive targets in Tampa Bay's 2026 offense, representing part of the broader target distribution alongside Egbuka, Godwin, and other receivers.PositiveValueAug 21, 2026
The Buccaneers TE is a pretty easy target in the mid-to-late range of fantasy drafts. If Baker Mayfield stays healthy and the Bucs' offense rebounds to 2024 form (when they finished fourth in the NFL with nearly 30 points per game), Otton could become a great fantasy value.NegativeValueJul 30, 2026
Otton is listed at $3 salary in the source's tiering system, placing him in the 'Some Plausible Upside' category, indicating he has potential but without specific commentary provided.PositiveSleeperNo date
Ranked Tier V (#30 overall) in Sleepers, Part II; won't be drafted in most standard-sized leagues but has a path to being fantasy-relevant at some point this season; source recommends keeping on waiver wire watch list.
