Who Should I Start? Juwan Johnson or Cade Otton

Tuesday, October 7, 7:05 PM

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson came back down to earth in Week 5, hauling in just two catches for 17 yards on four targets. After a hot start with 19 receptions for 176 yards and a touchdown over the first three weeks, he's averaged just 2.5 catches for 22.5 yards with no scores over his last two contests. Still, Johnson played 85% of snaps in Week 5, a surprising season low, but the returns of Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau will continue to cut into his opportunities. He remains the most talented pass catcher among Saints tight ends, but now ranks as a low-floor TE2 against the Patriots.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was able to make a small impact during last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Otton hauled in three of his four targets for nine yards. Through four games, Otton has been held to six receptions for 34 yards and no touchdowns. He has played above 90 percent of the offensive snaps each of the last three games. Despite that, Otton doesn't appear to be a viable option in the receiving game right now. Both Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin figure to continue seeing a high volume of targets. Otton can continue to ride the bench until he starts making a consistent impact.
