Who Should I Start? Hunter Long or Cade Otton

Thursday, September 7, 12:59 AM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Hunter Long (hamstring) was ruled out for Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks. Long was sent to the Rams this offseason in the blockbuster deal for cornerback Jalen Ramsey. But Los Angeles hasn't seen much from the tight end due to multiple injuries this summer. Long spent his first two NFL seasons with the Miami Dolphins, where he has one career catch for eight yards. When he returns from his hamstring issue, he shouldn't be on fantasy radars.

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.
