Who Should I Start? Cade Otton or Cade Stover

Friday, November 14, 6:07 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has been making the most of his extra targets lately. Last week, Otton saw 12 targets while hauling in a season-high nine passes for 82 yards in the loss to the New England Patriots. The handful of injuries to his offense has made Otton a viable option lately. Otton has been able to produce 40 receiving yards or more in each of his last five games. He has done enough on the field to warrant using as a low-end TE1 for the upcoming matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

The Houston Texans have activated tight end Cade Stover (foot) from Injured Reserve heading into their Week 11 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The team placed tight end Harrison Bryant (neck/shoulder) on Injured Reserve in a corresponding roster move. Stover has been sidelined since suffering a broken foot in Week 1. Across 15 games as a rookie in 2024, Stover recorded 15 catches for 133 yards and a touchdown on 22 targets. While Stover is unlikely to play a fantasy-relevant role himself, his return could threaten the playing time of Texans tight end Dalton Schultz. Schultz has emerged as a consistent feature in the Houston passing game in recent weeks, recording 24 catches for 252 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets over his last four games. Fantasy managers should monitor the playing time split between Schultz and Stover in Week 11.
