Who Should I Start? Cade Otton or Dalton Kincaid

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton caught two passes for 32 yards during Sunday's playoff loss to the Washington Commanders. The 25-year-old returned from a three-game absence this weekend, but he didn't have a major impact as the Buccaneers threw the ball just 18 times. Otton was once again overlooked as Baker Mayfield preferred throwing to wide receivers Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan. The 25-year-old finished as the overall TE14 in 2024, which was the best mark of his career and was also impressive given that he missed a trio of contests. Otton, who had 600 yards and four touchdowns during the regular season, will look to build on his production even further as he pushes to be a top-12 tight end. Fantasy managers should treat him as such, albeit on the fringe around No. 12. Managers who draft Otton in 2025 should feel comfortable with him in their starting tight end slot.

The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia writes that Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has a bit of a buy-low, post-hype sleeper feel about him as he enters the 2025 season. Kincaid is fully healthy this offseason and is likely to take the team's advice to get stronger. The 25-year-old former 25th overall pick in 2023 out of Utah had lofty expectations going into last year after catching 73 passes for 673 yards and two touchdowns in his rookie campaign. He failed to meet those expectations last year, catching 44 passes for 448 yards and two TDs in 13 regular-season games. In addition to Kincaid, Buffalo is hoping receivers Keon Coleman and Curtis Samuel can build on their success from a year ago. The Bills spread things out as an offense in 2024, but Kincaid's knee injury didn't help his cause. Target him a a low-end TE1 in fantasy with upside for more in his third season.
