Who Should I Start? Harrison Bryant or Cade Otton

Houston Texans tight end Harrison Bryant didn't play a snap in Week 1 against the Rams since he was on the practice squad, but he's expected to be involved on Monday Night Football against the Buccaneers since Matt Stover (foot) was placed on IR and is out indefinitely. Bryant will serve as the primary backup behind Dalton Schultz, but Stover was very involved in Week 1, playing 57% of snaps and catching all four of his targets for 22 yards. While Schultz will likely get most of that work, Bryant could get a few looks as well. The Texans' offensive line struggled in Week 1, so Bryant could also be used as an extra blocker. He's not a fantasy option yet as just the TE56 in the RotoBaller Week 2 rankings, but it will be worth watching how Stover's looks are divided up this Monday night.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was unable to get anything going during the season opener last week. Otton failed to bring in any of his three targets in the win. It's worth noting that Otton was dealing with a groin injury heading into this game. Possibly, Otton's lack of contribution was due to his groin problems. He appears to be fine heading into the Week 2 matchup against the Houston Texans. It's worth noting that Otton has topped 35 yards in just one of his last seven outings, dating back to last season. It's probably best if Otton is left on the bench until he proves he can be a reliable contributor.
