Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Cade Otton

Wednesday, August 6, 8:04 AM

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram continues to impress in his first training camp with his new team. The Broncos signed Engram last offseason after he was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he has wasted little time impressing his new team. Offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi said that Engram has "met or exceeded" the high expectations the team had for him when he was signed. "He can run. He can change direction. Willing blocker. He sticks his nose in there. Complete tight end. Guy that's really been showing up in camp," Lombardi told reporters. The Broncos have been looking for a reliable tight end since Sean Payton became head coach and they appear to have found one in Engram. The veteran tight end is set up for a big year and can be confidently drafted as a low-end TE1 in all fantasy formats.

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.
