Fantasy Football Player Notes

Most NFL teams look forward to their bye weeks to ease the wear and tear on players' bodies. But fantasy managers were probably not happy about having to bench Cade Otton last week. Otton had posted three top-five fantasy finishes in four weeks before Tampa Bay's Week 11 bye. While Otton should be able to pick up where he left off, it is worth noting that his hot streak coincided with injuries to wide receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. Evans should be back this week. Monitor Otton's volume this week with Evans back, but do not let Evans' return prevent you from starting Otton. The New York Giants rank 27th in the league in DVOA versus opposing tight ends.
