Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Cade Otton

Monday, October 28, 10:24 AM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers looked healthy against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8, his first game back from a two-week absence due to an ankle injury. He was targeted seven times by his quarterback, Gardner Minshew II, and hauled in six of those passes for 52 yards and the game's only non-garbage-time touchdown. He played reasonably well in the WR1 role left vacant by the departure of Davante Adams. He's the clear lead receiver for the team moving forward, though he faces substantial target competition from tight end Brock Bowers. He's a solid WR3/FLEX option with WR2 upside, depending on how the offense fares overall, ahead of a Week 9 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton delivered an incredible performance during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Otton functioned as the top pass-catching option with the Bucs missing both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) on Sunday. The young tight end hauled in nine of his 10 targets for 81 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. Otton now has 17 receptions for 181 yards and two scores over his last two games. He'll head into a matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs next week. Fantasy managers can go ahead and consider Otton a TE1 now with the Bucs shorthanded on receiving options.
