Who Should I Start? Cade Otton or Dalton Kincaid

Monday, September 1, 3:04 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton (leg) was back on the practice field on Monday, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. While Otton was likely limited in Monday's practice, it at least gives him a chance to suit up for the Week 1 regular-season opener this Sunday against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons. Fantasy managers will have a better idea of whether Otton will be able to play this weekend when they start to release their official practice reports on Wednesday. In addition to a leg injury, Otton also missed time during training camp and the preseason with a hamstring injury, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him held out to open the year. When fully healthy, he'll be in play as a TE2 in fantasy as the team's top pass-catching TE. If Otton is out in Week 1, expect a committee approach that involves Payne Durham, Devin Culp and Ko Kieft.

According to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid is not expected to see his role grow during the 2025 season. Buscaglia noted that, given Dawson Knox's presence on the team, Kincaid will likely not take a large share of opportunities. Last season, Kincaid logged around 66% of the team snaps, and Buscaglia believes that is what the expectation should be for the upcoming season as well. In his sophomore season, the 25-year-old took a bit of a step back as he tallied just 448 yards on 44 receptions. He scored just two touchdowns. As a rookie, Kincaid brought in 73 receptions for 673 yards. Given his limited ceiling, fantasy managers should continue to view Kincaid as a low-end fringe TE1 in all formats. However, if Knox were to miss time, Kincaid could enter must-start conversations.
