Who Should I Start? Cade Otton or Xavier Worthy

Friday, September 5, 6:41 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton (groin) is off the injury report and cleared for Sunday's season opener against the Atlanta Falcons. The top tight end opened the week as a limited participant due to a groin injury on Wednesday. However, Otton was able to log back-to-back full sessions on Thursday and Friday and was able to avoid carrying a designation into the weekend. Last season, the 26-year-old enjoyed a career year in his third NFL campaign. Otton caught 59 passes for 600 yards and four touchdowns on 87 targets. With Chris Godwin (ankle) and Jalen McMillan (neck) not suiting up in this contest, Otton carries sneaky streaming appeal in deeper 14+ team formats and a budget play upside in DFS, as he should operate as the team's No. 3 pass-catching option alongside Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is viewed as week-to-week. Schefter noted on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday afternoon that the injury does not appear to be overly serious, but he is expected to miss some time. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but should not plan on him suiting up in Week 2. Worthy suffered an injury on the team's opening drive during their loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Friday evening. Once he left the contest, Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster emerged as the team's top wide receivers. With Rahsee Rice away on a suspension, fantasy managers should expect Brown and Smith-Schuster to continue to operate as the team's primary pass catchers for the foreseeable future.
