Who Should I Start? Cade Otton or Tyler Warren

Friday, October 31, 11:02 AM

With his team dealing with multiple wide receiver injuries, Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton seemingly had a golden opportunity to emerge as a heavy target-earner in Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints. Instead, Otton turned in a modest performance, recording four catches for 40 yards on five targets. Tampa Bay will remain without Mike Evans (collarbone) following its Week 9 bye, but wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) could make his return in Week 10 against the New England Patriots. Star running back Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) could also be back in the mix, which would likely take some short-area targets away from Otton. Otton should still provide a relatively stable floor for fantasy managers when Tampa Bay returns from its bye, but he may have missed his highest-upside window of the season.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren has been an excellent addition to his team's passing attack this season. Warren is leading the Colts with 492 receiving yards through eight games, while his 37 catches and three receiving touchdowns both rank second behind only Michael Pittman Jr. The rookie tight end will look to keep it going on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. The Steelers have really struggled to contain opposing tight ends this season, allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Warren sets up as a top-three tight end in fantasy in Week 9 and should be locked into all lineups for Sunday.
