Cade Otton is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for tight ends. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 7 of the 2022 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 6% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: If you had any doubts that Cade Otton was going to become Tampa Bay’s top tight end before the season’s end, they should have been erased when Cameron Brate has carried off the field this past Sunday.
We do not know how long Brate will be out with his serious-looking neck injury, but we do know that Otton will be the one filling in – and he will probably be the Buccaneers’ top TE from here on out.
Otton was drafted this season to be Tampa Bay’s future starting tight end, but the timeline just got sped up. With Brate out indefinitely, Otton will now play the role of Tom Brady’s safety valve over the middle. He has eight catches over his last two games, and now fantasy managers need to see Brady aim for Otton when the Bucs get close to the goal line.
If you want more of a sure bet in standard leagues, Tonyan is the guy. If you want someone who has dynasty-keeper potential and can contribute in the coming weeks as well, Otton is the guy.
