Who Should I Start? Cade Otton or Cade Stover

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.

Houston Texans rookie tight end Cade Stover led all tight ends in the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers with three catches for 32 yards. His performance featured a crucial 16-yard reception that helped secure a key first down and contributed to a Texans touchdown. Notably, Stover caught C.J. Stroud's first pass of the game, demonstrating Stroud's confidence in him despite Stover not being the primary read. Texans coach DeMeco Ryans and general manager Nick Caserio have praised Stover highly, suggesting that although Dalton Schultz is the top tight end, Stover could have a significant role early in the season. This development makes Schultz a less appealing late-round fantasy option and positions Stover as a potentially valuable pickup if Schultz misses any time.
