24-Year-Old Tight EndTE
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Otton, a fourth-round pick out of Washington, finished his rookie season with 42 catches for 391 yards and two touchdowns on 65 targets. He started 11 of the 16 games he played, and he's the clubhouse leader to start at tight end again in 2023 after the Buccaneers declined to bring in any pricey free agents or Day 1/2 draft picks at the position. Tom Brady bestowed 16 red-zone targets upon Otton last year – tied for fifth-most in the league – but the 6-foot-5 tight end scored only twice with all that volume. Whether it’s Baker Mayfield or Kyle Trask under center this year, Otton will be no better than the third option in the passing game, clearly after star receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, and potentially behind WR Russell Gage and RB Rachaad White as well.

Another impressive playoff effort
TETampa Bay Buccaneers
January 21, 2024
Otton secured five of eight targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 31-23 divisional-round loss to the Lions on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
On the heels of a career-best showing in the wild-card win over the Eagles, Otton put together a solid encore Sunday that included the Buccaneers' second-most receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon. The second-year tight end also tied for second in targets and hauled in a two-yard scoring grab just before halftime for his first career postseason touchdown. Otton, who'll head into the third year of his rookie contract in 2024, put together a relatively ordinary 47-455-4 line across 17 regular-season games; however, his combined 13-154-1 tally in two playoff games serves as proof he's capable of functioning as more than just a short-area, complementary option in the team's passing game.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Otton is a potential heir apparent to Rob Gronkowski, who announced his retirement in June. The Washington product displayed potential as a pass-catching asset during his time with the Huskies, recording a 91-1,026-9 line in 31 games. Assuming Gronk stays retired, Otton has veterans Cameron Brate and Kyle Rudolph as competition for reps as a rookie, as O.J. Howard walked in free agency this offseason. With Chris Godwin projected to miss multiple games to open this season, Otton may have a chance to make an impact as the season progresses if he earns Tom Brady's trust, though the learning curve tends to be rough for rookie tight ends.
