Cade Otton Barely Involved In Divisional Loss

Cade Otton Barely Involved In Divisional Loss

11 months ago

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.
