Cade Otton

Cade Otton (knee) is inactive for Week 15 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Atlanta Falcons.

Fantasy Impact

Otton will sit out the Thursday night contest after being unable to make enough progress in practice throughout the week to suit up, leaving the Tampa Bay passing attack without its safety valve against an underwhelming Atlanta defense Thursday night. Payne Durham will likely start at tight end in Otton’s absence against the Falcons Thursday night.

Cade Otton (knee) is unlikely to play in Thursday night's game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Fantasy Impact

It looks like the Buccaneers will be without Otton on Thursday night, as he is currently listed as doubtful to play in that game due to a knee injury that he's managing. Fantasy managers should expect the potential return of Mike Evans (collarbone) to more than account for the expected absence of the veteran tight end.

Otton has now missed practice back-to-back days to begin the week. If he is sidelined, Chris Godwin would see more opportunity. The Bucs could also get Mike Evans back on Thursday.
