Who Should I Start? Trent Taylor or Cade Otton

The San Francisco 49ers announced on Tuesday that they placed wide receiver Trent Taylor (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve and signed receiver Malik Knowles to an undisclosed one-year deal in a corresponding move. It's unclear exactly what Taylor's injury is, but he's now expected to miss the entire 2025 season. The 31-year-old former fifth-round pick (177th overall) in 2017 out of Louisiana Tech spent the first three years of his career in the Bay Area before going to the Cincinnati Bengals for two years and the Chicago Bears in 2023. In just two games in his return to the Niners last season, Taylor caught his only target for an 11-yard pickup. Taylor has been a depth piece in his career and has a total of 88 receptions for 845 yards and only three touchdowns on 138 targets over 80 games played (three starts) since debuting in 2017.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton is looking to bounce back after posting a dud during last week's game against the Buffalo Bills. Otton hauled in two of his five targets for 28 yards in the loss. Prior to that, Otton had finished with 40 receiving yards or more in five straight games. His role in the offensive game plan could be reduced if Chris Godwin (leg) is able to suit up in Week 12. Regardless, Otton has proven himself capable enough to make plays that the ball should still be coming his way. The 26-year-old has seen five or more targets in six straight games. Fantasy managers should be able to trust Otton as a TE2 for this upcoming matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
