Who Should I Start? Cade Otton or Harold Fannin Jr.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has picked up the slack over the last few weeks. Otton was awful to start the season, but finished with 81 receiving yards in Week 5 and hauled in five receptions for 51 yards last week. The Bucs are starting to believe in Otton and he's beginning to earn a larger role. It's also worth noting that the Bucs are extremely banged up right now. They're already without two starting wideouts, but Mike Evans (hamstring) and Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) might sit in Week 7 as well. If that happens, Otton could see an expanded role on Monday night. At worst, Otton should be a solid TE2 given his recent success.

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. turned in a big performance in his team's Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching seven of his 10 targets for 81 yards. He has a chance to build on that performance in Week 7's home game against the Miami Dolphins. Fannin is lined up to see an increased role against Miami as the Browns have already ruled David Njoku (knee) out for Sunday. He should see plenty of work from Dillon Gabriel, who has targeted Fannin and Njoku a combined 29 times over his two starts. Fannin sets up as a top-10 fantasy tight end against a Miami defense that is allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game to his position this year.
