Who Should I Start? Cade Otton or Brock Bowers

Tuesday, October 22, 1:07 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton caught eight of 10 targets for 100 yards during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He ultimately led all Buccaneers pass-catchers in each of those three categories. The 25-year-old got off to a quiet start this season but has been one of the most productive tight ends lately, catching 26 passes for 258 yards and one touchdown over his last five games. He's the overall TE5 in half-PPR leagues during that span, providing fantasy managers with tremendous value. He should continue to remain heavily involved in the Buccaneers' offense going forward after Chris Godwin (ankle) suffered a season-ending ankle dislocation on Monday night.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers continues to show he's their best offensive weapon. In his Week 7 game against the Los Angeles Rams, Bowers caught 10 passes on 14 targets for 93 yards. He's easily their best pass-catcher and chain-mover. He's also an absolute stud in PPR fantasy formats and currently ranks as the TE1 overall. His target volume could remain high even when lead receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) returns, and should be better than it was in the early season with Davante Adams was still a part of the team. Las Vegas will square off with the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8, but matchups should be ignored when deciding to start or sit Bowers. He must be started.
