Who Should I Start? Hayden Hurst or Cade Otton

Carolina Panthers tight end Hayden Hurst turned in a slow outing in a Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints, catching three passes for 20 yards. He will look to bounce back in Week 3's road matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle has been average against tight ends through two games, allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Hurst is not a focal point in the Carolina offense but he has drawn 10 targets through two games. He sets up as a mid-tier TE2 in Week 3.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was surprisingly involved quite a bit during the Week 2 matchup with the Chicago Bears. The 24-year-old hauled in six receptions for 41 yards in the victory. The second-year tight end is beginning to build more chemistry with newcomer Baker Mayfield. The hope is that Otton turns into a trusted underneath option for Mayfield this season. He'll head into a Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. A defensive unit that has struggled to contain the tight end position early in the season. That being said, Otton has some low-end streaming appeal to desperate fantasy managers looking for an option in Week 3.
