Cade Otton News
Thursday, March 26, 6:06 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton hasn't been a very popular name in dynasty fantasy football leagues this offseason, but managers should consider acquiring the 26-year-old given the Bucs' moves so far. Most notably, the Buccaneers allowed wide receiver Mike Evans to depart in free agency. He leaves behind a modest 61 targets from 2025, but he's just a few years removed from his 136-target campaign in 2023. Historically, Otton has thrived when Evans isn't on the field. In the 11 games where Evans was sidelined due to injury last year, Otton averaged 5.4 targets, 3.9 catches, and 36.8 yards per contest. The biggest red flag for Otton was that he didn't score a touchdown while Evans was sidelined; in fact, he didn't get into the end zone until Week 18. We expect him to have some positive touchdown regression, though, and he has legitimate top-15 upside with Evans out of town. Dynasty managers in need of a potential low-end TE1 or high-end TE2 should send out trade offers for Otton, because he can be acquired at a reasonable price this offseason.

Jake Ferguson News
Saturday, March 21, 11:12 AM
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson opened the 2025 season as a premier fantasy option, but his productivity declined near the end of the year. After ranking as the overall TE1 in PPR leagues from Week 1 through Week 7, he dropped to the overall TE22 spot over the remainder of the season. He had a particularly poor showing over the final four weeks of the season, during which he had just seven catches and ranked 23rd among tight ends in fantasy points. Ultimately, Ferguson just couldn't carve out a consistent role while buried behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens in the pecking order. He also lost opportunities when the team decided to run the ball and feed Javonte Williams. All three of those skill players are back for 2026, making it tough to predict any sort of improvement for Ferguson. He's too dependent on targets to confidently draft as a top-eight fantasy tight end. Instead, he's a high-end TE2 who will deliver some mid-to-low TE1 outings from time to time. His name value makes him an appealing sell-high candidate in PPR leagues, especially since his finish as the overall TE5 masks his late-season struggles.
