Fantasy Outlook
Otton is the undisputed No. 1 TE in TB, but he's typically relegated to a supporting role in the passing game behind the team's talented WR room. The 6-foot-5 tight end is coming off consecutive 59-catch seasons, and he has played at least 92.4 percent of snaps on offense when healthy in each of the past three campaigns. Longtime No. 1 Buccaneers WR Mike Evans moved to San Francisco in the offseason, but Tampa Bay still has 2025 first-round pick Emeka Egbuka and expects to get more out of Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan, who combined to miss 21 games last season. Otton isn't expected to be any higher than fourth on the totem pole, and he hasn't proven to be a significant red-zone weapon, scoring no more than four TDs in any of his four NFL seasons and just one in 2025. His best chance at becoming a viable fantasy starter would involve injuries befalling Tampa Bay's top three WRs, as Otton had a three-game stretch with 25 catches for 258 yards and three TDs back in 2024 when Evans and Godwin got hurt and Egbuka wasn't in the NFL yet.Buccaneers Lineup
