Who Should I Start? Harrison Bryant or Cade Otton

Wednesday, March 13, 5:12 PM

Former Cleveland Browns tight end Harrison Bryant reached an agreement with the Las Vegas Raiders on Wednesday on a one-year, $3.25 million deal with a maximum value of $4 million, according to a source. Bryant was a fourth-round selection by the Browns in 2020 out of Florida Atlantic. The 25-year-old hasn't been on the fantasy radar at all, really, totaling 89 catches on 128 targets for 791 yards and 10 total touchdowns in his four seasons in Cleveland. With the move to Vegas, he'll be expected to serve as the No. 2 tight end behind second-year man Michael Mayer now that Austin Hooper moved on in free agency. In 17 regular-season games (nine starts) for the Browns in 2023, Bryant had a career-low 13 receptions for 81 yards and three touchdowns while working behind David Njoku.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was quiet throughout most of the regular season. He was a distant third option in the passing game but came alive in the postseason. On Sunday, Otton hauled in five of eight targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Detroit Lions. In two postseason games, Otton caught 13 of 19 targets for 155 yards and a score. It was a nice showing for the young tight end during the postseason. Otton will likely enter the 2024 season as the No.1 tight end, but that doesn't guarantee he'll be a viable fantasy option.
