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.

Theo Johnson News
Sunday, March 15, 12:17 PM
New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson finds himself in a more crowded position group all of a sudden. The Giants underwent a major coaching staff shakeup this offseason, and new head coach John Harbaugh brought in plenty of his guys, including tight end Isaiah Likely. It's unclear whether Likely or Johnson will be the true No. 1 in New York, but either way, the addition of the former will have major implications on the latter. It's unfortunate, too, given that Johnson was just starting to trend up. He had 45 catches, 528 yards, and five touchdowns in 2025, ranking as the overall TE18 in full-PPR leagues. It's hard to envision him eclipsing those marks next year if Likely is heavily involved, just like he was in Baltimore. The biggest saving grace for Johnson is that the Giants lost Wan'Dale Robinson this offseason, leaving plenty of vacated targets to go around. He also has an existing rapport with quarterback Jaxson Dart, and Likely can't say the same. We expect Johnson to remain a low-end TE2 option in 2026, but his value certainly isn't going up in dynasty leagues.
