Otton was blanked on the stat sheet for only the second time of his career, the first having come in his first NFL game against the Cowboys back in Week 1 of last season. The catchless performance came out of nowhere and is certainly an outlier, considering Otton had recorded at least four receptions in five of the previous six contests. The second-year pro should have a very good chance of atoning in a Week 14 road matchup against a Falcons team that's allowed a robust 75-760-3 line to tight ends over 12 games.

Otton was blanked on the stat sheet for only the second time of his career, the first having come in his first NFL game against the Cowboys back in Week 1 of last season. The catchless performance came out of nowhere and is certainly an outlier, considering Otton had recorded at least four receptions in five of the previous six contests. The second-year pro should have a very good chance of atoning in a Week 14 road matchup against a Falcons team that's allowed a robust 75-760-3 line to tight ends over 12 games.
The second-year tight end finished tied with Trey Palmer for second on the team in receptions and with Chris Godwin for the same slotting in receiving yards. Otton now has back-to-back four-catch tallies and at least that many receptions in five of the last six contests overall, giving him a serviceable floor heading into a Week 13 home matchup against the Panthers.
Otton was the surprising leader in receptions and targets for the Bucs on the afternoon, exploiting a Texans defense that had been vulnerable to tight ends in the first half of the season. The second-year pro found the end zone from three and 14 yards out for his first two scores since Week 4 against the Saints, and he's now amassed an impressive 15 receptions on 21 targets over his last three games. Otton will look to carry over his burgeoning chemistry with Baker Mayfield into a Week 10 home matchup against the Titans.
Otton put together a reasonably serviceable performance from a PPR standpoint, although his yardage was once again underwhelming. The second-year tight end's 43-yard tally in Week 7 against the Falcons qualifies as his season high, leaving him with capped fantasy value heading into a Week 9 road matchup against the Texans.
