Who Should I Start? Greg Dulcich or Cade Otton

Friday, May 8, 6:00 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has caught exactly 59 passes in each of the past two seasons while averaging 586 receiving yards. His 11 total touchdowns across his four professional seasons point to a ceiling incapable of winning leagues, but he has long provided an underrated floor. With the Buccaneers' relatively quiet offseason already leading into organized team activities, Otton should continue to provide quality depth as a second or third tight end in dynasty leagues. The Buccaneers were a team commonly linked to Oregon's Kenyon Sadiq throughout the pre-draft process, but with Rueben Bain Jr. falling to them in the first, Tampa did not make any offensive selections until receiver Ted Hurst in the third. Hurst and free agent running back Kenneth Gainwell will help to soften the blow of losing Mike Evans and his average receiving line of 72 catches for 1,088 yards and nine touchdowns from the past 12 seasons, but in a tight end room with only Payne Durham, Ko Kieft, and sixth-round rookie Bauer Sharp, Otton's role could also expand. His rapport with Baker Mayfield makes him a natural candidate to inherit some of Evans' vacated targets, and at RotoBaller's dynasty TE32, Otton is perennially underrated as a depth piece who can be trusted to get contending managers through the inevitable stretch of injuries and bye weeks that pop up every season.
