Who Should I Start? Cade Otton or Colston Loveland

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.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland is coming off a huge performance, posting 118 yards and two touchdowns in the 47-42 win over Cincinnati. The breakout game finally arrived for the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, beating his previous career high in yards by 80 yards. However, that surge came with veteran Cole Kmet leaving early due to a concussion. Kmet is off the injury report and set to return for Week 10 against the Giants. On the season, Kmet has played 70% of the snaps compared to Loveland's 56%, and his presence has consistently capped Loveland's routes and target share. With Kmet back in the mix and 25+ mph winds expected to limit the passing game, Loveland is a strong candidate for regression this week.
