Buccaneers' Cade Otton: First TD of season Sunday
Otton secured two of six targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.
In what was his least productive game since Week 2, Otton found a way to salvage his fantasy day with his first touchdown of the campaign. The third-year tight end also logged his third-highest target total of the campaign, so despite the downturn in production, it's encouraging Otton remains a fairly consistent subject of Baker Mayfield's attention heading into a Week 7 home showdown with the Ravens next Monday night.

Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Solid yardage on three grabs
Otton brought in three of four targets for 44 yards in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.
The third-year tight end finished second in receptions and third in both receiving yardage and targets on the night for the Buccaneers. Otton has firmly put a slow start to the season behind him, recording a 16-143 line on 21 targets over the last three games. Otton should continue serving in a complementary pass-catching role in a Week 6 road matchup against the Saints.

Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Another productive showing Sunday
Otton secured six of nine targets for 52 yards in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday.
After opening the season with one catch for five yards (on four targets) over his first two games, Otton has emerged as a key option in the air attack over the subsequent pair of contests. The third-year tight end has generated a 13-99-0 line on 17 looks from Baker Mayfield in that span, and on Sunday, he tied Chris Godwin for second in targets. Otton's role still may fluctuate on occasion, but he appears to be finding his niche within coordinator Liam Coen's offense heading into Thursday night's road showdown against the Falcons.

Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Finally emerges in loss
Otton secured seven of eight targets for 47 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Otton was the surprise leader in receptions for the Buccaneers while checking in second to Chris Godwin in both receiving yards and targets. The third-year tight end had recorded only one catch for five yards on four targets through his first two games, but he became a frequent short-area target for Baker Mayfield on Sunday with the veteran signal-caller frequently under duress. However, Otton's fumble, which came at the Broncos' 10-yard line with 3:49 remaining, essentially snuffed out any chance of a comeback for the Bucs, marring an otherwise productive day. We'll see if the strong production for Otton isn't a one-game outlier when the Eagles come calling for a Week 4 home matchup.

Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Empty line on two targets
Otton failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Buccaneers' 20-16 win over the Lions on Sunday.
The third-year tight end had also seen two targets Week 1 and had recorded one catch for five yards, but he had an even quieter day Sunday. Otton played on all 47 snaps from scrimmage as well, so there wasn't any drop in playing time to help explain the lack of involvement. However, it's worth noting Baker Mayfield put up just 19 attempts Sunday, so perhaps Otton will see an uptick in opportunity during a Week 3 home matchup against the Broncos.

Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Quiet start to season
Otton secured one of two targets for five yards in the Buccaneers' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday.
Most of the Buccaneers' incumbent skill-position assets enjoyed productive days in their first game operating in new coordinator Liam Coen's offense, but Otton was a notable exception. The third-year tight end's modest target count over 52 snaps from scrimmage was particularly disappointing, but given Coen's typically heavy use of two-tight-end sets, Otton's downturn could quickly end in a Week 2 road showdown against the Lions.

Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Plays one drive in preseason finale
Otton started Friday's 24-14 preseason win over the Dolphins but wasn't targeted.
Otton played only the first drive along with the rest of the first-team offense. The Buccaneers went with three wide receivers, one running back and one tight end throughout the drive, showcasing the personnel grouping that Tampa Bay will likely use the majority of the time come the regular season, which kicks off Sept. 8 against the Commanders. That heavy reliance on 11 personnel stems in part from the lack of quality tight-end options on the roster behind Otton, who exceeded a 90-percent snap share in every regular-season game last year.

Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Versatile role in new offense
Otton is expected to fill his most versatile role yet in new coordinator Liam Coen's offense this coming season, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.
The third-year pro has already made his mark over his first two seasons, recording a combined 89-846-6 line across 33 regular-season games and adding 17 receptions for 212 yards and a touchdown in three career postseason contests. However, Otton could be in store for his most productive campaign yet, given Coen's offense will focus heavily on shifts and motion to get its playmakers into advantageous matchups. While the Buccaneers operated out of a two-tight-end set a relatively modest 28.3 percent of the time in 2023, training camp practices this summer have seen the offense deploy more diversified personnel groupings and Otton line up in more spots along the formation than he did a year ago in Dave Canales' scheme.
