ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has played well after a rough start to the season. The third-year pro had 0.6 half-point PPR fantasy points and four targets over the first two weeks. By comparison, he has averaged 7.4 targets and 8.6 fantasy points per game since Week 3.
Otton has scored 8.2 or more fantasy points in three of his past four games. More importantly, he had eight receptions on 10 targets for 100 receiving yards and 14 fantasy points last night against the Baltimore Ravens, all-season highs.
Unfortunately, the Buccaneers will be without Chris Godwin for the rest of the year after suffering an ankle injury against the Ravens. Furthermore, Mike Evans is likely out until Week 12 because of a hamstring injury.
Per Sources, #Bucs WR Mike Evans will be sidelined with his hamstring injury until after the team’s Week 11 bye. Anything sooner than a Week 12 return against the Giants is considered unlikely.

Therefore, Otton could quickly become Baker Mayfield’s top target in the passing game. He is a must-add tight end in all fantasy football leagues.
