Cade Otton TE TB

Cade Otton Out For Week 16

Cade Otton Out For Week 16

Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday night’s game vs. the Cowboys. HC Todd Bowles called him a game-time decision on Friday morning, but he’s evidently unlikely to play. The other TEs on Tampa Bay’s roster are Payne Durham, Ko Kieft, and Devin Culp. None is a viable fantasy play. Otton’s absence should push more targets to the WRs and RBs.

Update: The Buccaneers downgraded Otton to out.

Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Chargers. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and was listed as questionable, adding risk to a guy who was a low-end PPR option to begin with.

Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (foot) is expected to play against the Chargers today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Shepard only got in a limited practice on Friday and is listed as questionable. He's racked up 13 catches on 20 targets over the last three weeks but remains a low-level PPR option, especially with the foot injury.

Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (foot) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Chargers. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. A low-end PPR option to begin with, Shepard’s foot issue means you should probably look elsewhere for Week 15 fantasy lineups.

The Bucs removed WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring, hip) from the final injury report. He only got in a limited practice on Friday but is evidently good to go for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers. Shepard has seen five targets in each of the last two games, posting 3-18-0 and 4-48-0 lines. He's an unexciting fantasy option.
