Trent Taylor News
Wednesday, June 4, 6:35 PM
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.

Cade Otton News
Thursday, July 23, 12:10 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton did not offer much weekly fantasy help in 2025, but his role was never in question. He started all 16 games he played and caught 59 of 81 targets for 572 yards, matching his 2024 reception total. The difference was touchdowns, falling from four to one. Otton also played 993 offensive snaps, an 87.6% share, and Tampa Bay brought him back on a three-year contract. The Bucs still view him as the lead tight end, but that does not guarantee more fantasy volume. Payne Durham remains a strong blocker, sixth-round rookie Bauer Sharp brings receiving ability, and tight ends coach Justin Peelle has discussed trimming Otton's snap load to keep him fresh. Tampa Bay also has plenty of wide receivers and backs competing for targets. RotoBaller ranks Otton as the TE29 for redraft. He is not a breakout bet or a weekly starter in standard leagues. In deeper formats, though, back-to-back 59-catch seasons and a secure role make him a reasonable late option when managers wait at tight end.
