Cade Otton's fantasy role in Week 10
Cade Otton goes into Week 10 of the 2026 season as a deep-league TE flyer for the TB. He is rostered in 2% of leagues and actually started in 0% of them, and we rank him TE29 on our own weekly board at 3.6 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 10 matchup breakdown
The TB are on bye in Week 10, so there is no matchup to grade. Anyone holding him needs a one-week fill-in from the waiver wire.
How to play it
Cade Otton is on bye in Week 10 — replace him and revisit next week.
Use the waiver wire for a one-week plug and keep him on your bench if you are otherwise healthy at TE.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Cade Otton (TB TE), our TE29 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 3.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 3.4 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. Nothing in the projection defends him — 49% below positional par is a bench line for me. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Cade Otton (TB TE), our TE29 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 3.6 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 3.4 points of shortfall. Nothing in the projection defends him — 49% below positional par is a bench line for me. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. The Pepper Meter cools him to Mild, and that reading is doing its job.
