"Following two solid but unspectacular seasons to begin his NFL career, Otton made a big leap in 2024, finishing in the top 15 among TEs in snaps, routes, targets, receptions, yards, TDs and fantasy points. Injuries around him were a factor, however, as he handled a solid 16% target share (4.8 per game) but was limited to a 29-307-1 receiving line (6.3 fantasy PPG and no games over 11.2) in 10 games with Mike Evans also in the lineup. Then, during Weeks 7-10 with Evans injured (Chris Godwin also missed most of this action), Otton handled a 25% target share (9.5 per game, 8-plus in all four) and posted a 30-293-3 receiving line (19.3 PPG with 18-plus three times). With Tampa Bay's loaded WR room and heavy reliance on its RBs, Otton figures to head back to low-ceiling TE2 production."

"Otton led the Buccaneers in receptions while tying for second in receiving yards for the Buccaneers on the night. Otton logged his usual hefty snap share -- 86 percent (60 snaps) -- but with Baker Mayfield exiting the game early due to a shoulder injury and Teddy Bridgewater similarly struggling to get much going through the air, the tight end's yardage total was his lowest since Week 4. Given Otton's usual shorter-area role, the tight end shouldn't see much of a downgrade in outlook if Bridgewater is forced to make a spot start in Week 13 against the Cardinals."

"Bowers is fresh off a dominant rookie season in which he produced 262.7 fantasy points, easily the most by a first-year tight end. He was a featured player right out of the gate and went on to pace the position in routes, targets, receptions (112 is the most ever by a rookie, regardless of position), yards and fantasy points. Bowers' season could've been even better had he seen more goal-line work (he was limited to five TDs and six end zone targets). He is already an elite player and the 22-year-old figures to benefit from improved QB play now that Geno Smith is under center. Bowers should be one of the first two TEs off the board on draft day."

"Bowers produced a modest receiving line while finishing second on the team behind WR Tre Tucker in targets (10) and RB Ashton Jeanty in receptions (eight). While the final results were digestible, Bowers' managers are left wondering what could have been had QB Geno Smith looked the star tight end's way more often instead of taking numerous unsuccessful deep shots to Tucker. Poor playcalling and quarterback play aside, Bowers remains an elite fantasy option week in, week out based on pure talent alone. Expect Bowers to remain a focal point of the passing offense for the struggling Raiders in next Sunday's road tilt against the Chargers."

"Freiermuth is entering his fifth NFL season having yet to emerge as a viable fantasy starter. The 2021 second-round pick peaked with an 11th-place finish in fantasy PPG in 2022 and, despite catching a career-high 65 passes and matching a career best with seven TDs last season, he ended up 14th in PPG. One concern here is that the TD output is unsustainable, as Freiermuth ranked 20th in expected TDs (3.1, which aligned with where he was when he scored two TDs in both 2022 and 2023) and had a career-low two end zone targets. Another concern is the acquisition of Jonnu Smith, who even in an offense short on WR depth, is sure to cut into Freiermuth's target share. The arrival of Aaron Rodgers helps his cause a bit, and he may settle in second in target priority behind DK Metcalf, but there's not much of a ceiling here. Freiermuth is a mid-to-back-end TE2."

"Although Freiermuth continued to split work at tight end in Week 12, he scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter to bring the Steelers within three points. The touchdown was his fourth of the season, but he's now been held under 20 receiving yards in back-to-back weeks. Freiermuth's fantasy potential this season has been dependent on his ability to reach the end zone, and he's secured 26 of 32 targets for 298 yards and four scores over his first 11 appearances in 2025."
