Who Should I Start? Cade Otton or Colston Loveland

Friday, November 28, 8:06 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton is looking to bounce back after posting back-to-back duds. Otton has been held to six receptions for 49 yards and zero touchdowns over his last two games. Prior to that, Otton posted a nine-catch game in Week 10. The return of Chris Godwin figures to cut into Otton's volume going forward. Also, the fact quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is banged up could impact the passing game in Week 13. Otton should be viewed on the lower end of the TE options for the upcoming matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland hauled in four of five targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the 31-28 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Loveland has emerged as a key contributor in this Bears' passing attack, totaling 40 or more yards in four straight weeks. However, veteran Cole Kmet remains a factor, splitting the snaps evenly in Week 12 (65%). While Loveland is showcasing his potential, the Bears are the fifth-most run-heavy team in the NFL, and have seven receivers who have 195 yards or more on the season. Loveland faces a tough matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. With a crowded receiving room and a tough matchup, Loveland is a risky start in Week 13.
