Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Cade Otton
Cade Otton (TB): 11% rostered
- Next opponents: SEA, BYE, @CLE
- True value: $2
- Desperate need: $4
- Budget-minded: $1
Analysis: Otton would be in the Dulcich realm of bids, but the looming return of Cameron Brate hangs over Otton’s head. Otton has been fantastic in fantasy in relief of Brate. In his four games as Tampa Bay’s starter, he’s been the TE12, TE10, TE33 and TE3 in fantasy scoring. Much like Dulcich, Otton is playing an every-down role in what looks like a broken offense, but it hasn’t hurt his fantasy value one bit. If Otton is the starter in Week 10, he gets a smash matchup with SEA, which has given up the most-receiving yards per game and the highest yards per reception to opposing tight ends.
