Who Should I Start? Cade Otton or Tyler Warren

Monday, August 11, 11:36 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton (hamstring) is practicing on Monday for the first time since the opening week of training camp, according to Greg Auman of Fox Sports. The 26-year-old set career-highs in receptions (59) and receiving yards (600) in 2024 with the Buccaneers despite being limited to just 14 games. Otton is the clear TE1 in Tampa Bay, but he faces significant target competition due to the team's deep wide receiver corps. He does not profile as a starter in one-tight-end fantasy formats, but his outlook would improve if the Buccaneers were to face significant injuries at the wide receiver position.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren caught all three of his targets for 40 yards in a 24-16 preseason loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday. Warren got off to a hot start in the game, catching all three of his passes in the first quarter, including a 23-yard reception down the middle of the field to help set the Colts up for a 33-yard field goal at the end of the quarter. He came as advertised after the Colts used the 14th overall pick on Warren in the 2025 NFL draft, hauling in all three of his targets and showing physicality as a runner after the catch. While the Colts' quarterback situation is a bit concerning, Warren should settle in as a solid TE2 in fantasy in his rookie year. He will now gear up to face off against the Green Bay Packers in his team's second preseason contest, which is scheduled for next Saturday.
