Who Should I Start? Cade Otton or Sam LaPorta

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton is looking to bounce back after posting back-to-back duds. Otton has been held to six receptions for 49 yards and zero touchdowns over his last two games. Prior to that, Otton posted a nine-catch game in Week 10. The return of Chris Godwin figures to cut into Otton's volume going forward. Also, the fact quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is banged up could impact the passing game in Week 13. Otton should be viewed on the lower end of the TE options for the upcoming matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

According to Detroit Football Network's Justin Rogers, Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) is likely to miss the remainder of the season after successful surgery on his back. The 24-year-old was amid a rebound campaign, posting a 40/489/3 line before sustaining a back injury in their 44-22 win over the Commanders in Week 10. However, his status quickly deteriorated, and he's now facing a significant recovery. Fellow tight end Brock Wright (ankle) will operate as Detroit's TE1 in his teammate's stead, with Ross Dwelley working in behind him. Neither projects to be particularly useful for fantasy.
