Cade Otton Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Bucs TE Cameron Brate is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Panthers. It's not a major surprise after the 31-year-old played just 8 snaps last week. Brate's absence is a slight boost to TE Cade Otton's fantasy stock. TEs Kyle Rudolph and Ko Kieft are also active for Tampa.

Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (quadriceps) practiced in full again on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation for Week 17 vs. the Panthers. At first glance, Otton's 23 targets (8th-highest among TEs) since Week 13 pique some fantasy interest. Digging a little deeper, you'll find the rookie ranks 26th in target share (11.9%) with a mere 9.2% air yards share in that span. Otton is a decent speculative albeit unreliable TE streamer in Week 17 on raw volume alone, but that's about it.

Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (quadriceps) practice fully on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. This upward trend bodes well for the rookie's status ahead of Week 17 vs. the Panthers. We'll keep an eye on his status tomorrow in case anything changes.

Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (quadriceps) did not practice on Wednesday. We'll continue to track the rookie's status for Week 17 vs. the Panthers as the week evolves. Check back in tomorrow for updates.

Bucs TE Cameron Brate (illness) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll be back for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers. Brate isn’t a fantasy option, but his return knocks TE Cade Otton out of consideration.

Bucs TE Cameron Brate (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He should be back for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers, which would knock TE Cade Otton out of fantasy consideration.

Bucs QB Tom Brady completed 36 of 54 passes for 281 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT in a comeback win over New Orleans. Brady was on his way to a true dud until late in the 4th, when both scores surfaced. He hit Cade Otton — and later Rachaad White — to seal the comeback victory. Volume continues to hold up Brady, who now leads the league with 524 attempts. He’ll be more of a QB2 this week against San Francisco.

Bucs TE Cameron Brate (illness) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Saints. TEs Cade Otton, Kyle Rudolph and Ko Kieft are active for Tampa. Otton is the best fantasy bet of the trio, but this is a brutal matchup against the league's top-ranked TE defense.

Bucs TE Cameron Brate (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Saints. He got in a full practice on Friday, though, so he should be able to play. Brate, of course, is a weak fantasy option. But his presence also keeps TE Cade Otton out of consideration.

Bucs TE Cameron Brate (neck) is active for this morning’s game vs. the Seahawks. He was a full participant in practice all week. We’ll see how routes and targets are divvied between Brate and TE Cade Otton, but neither is a safe Week 10 fantasy play.

Bucs TE Cameron Brate (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday morning’s game vs. the Seahawks. He was a full-go in practice all week, so we’re expecting him to play. But we’ll get Tampa Bay’s inactives around 8 am ET on Sunday. Assuming Brate plays, neither he nor TE Case Otton will be a reliable fantasy play.

Bucs TE Cameron Brate (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. That should put him in line to return for Sunday morning's game vs. the Seahawks. It's unclear how routes and targets will be divvied between Brate and TE Cade Otton, leaving both guys as unreliable fantasy plays.

Buccaneers QB Tom Brady went 36-of-58 passing in Sunday's win over the Rams. He tallied 280 yards and 1 TD, but that came out to just 4.8 yards per attempt. And his lone TD came with just seconds remaining to give Tampa Bay the victory. TE Cade Otton caught that score and totaled 5-68-1 receiving on 6 targets. WR Mike Evans led the team with 11 targets but managed just 5 catches and 40 yards. WR Chris Godwin followed with 10 looks but tallied only 36 yards on his 7 receptions. WR Scotty Miller tied Godwin for the reception lead and collected 53 yards. His lone missed target was a late-game drop when an end-zone pass hit his facemask. Tampa Bay heads to Germany next Sunday morning to face a hot Seahawks defense.

Bucs TE Cameron Brate (neck) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Rams. He returned to limited practices this week but evidently hasn't been cleared yet. Brate's absence keeps TE Cade Otton in play as a low-end spot starter. The rookie has averaged 5.7 targets, 4.0 catches and 41 yards in 3 games without Brate.

Bucs TE Cameron Brate (neck) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. When Brate missed Week 5, TE Cade Otton ran a route on 91% of pass plays and posted a 6-43 line on 7 targets. The rookie is a viable Week 7 spot starter.

Bucs TE Cameron Brate (neck) did not practice on Wednesday. He seems unlikely to play vs. the Panthers this weekend after being carted off last week. Brate's absence would turn TE Cade Otton into a viable fantasy starter.

Bucs TE Cameron Brate has been diagnosed with a sprained neck, HC Todd Bowles said Monday. Brate has no neurological issues. It's about the best-case scenario after he was carted off the field during Sunday's loss to the Steelers. It's still unclear, though, how long Brate will be sidelined. If he misses games, rookie TE Cade Otton will be a low-end fantasy option.
