Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Cade Otton

Wednesday, November 5, 7:35 PM

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram has been a tough player to trust in fantasy lineups for the 2025 season, ranking as the TE27 through nine weeks with just one fringe TE1 finish. In last week's matchup against the Broncos, Engram had zero catches on three targets, marking what could be the final straw for fantasy managers trusting in him thus far. The Houston Texans were one of the most difficult defensive matchups of the schedule, so there could be an opportunity for Engram to bounce back against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10. With RotoBaller having Engram ranked as the TE23 against the Raiders, it's likely best to look for an option with more upside.

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.
