The Bucs offense has fallen off a cliff after a hot start. Since Week 11, Tampa has averaged 153 passing yards per game. What production they have had through the air has gone heavily to Mike Evans, who has nearly 40 percent of the team’s receiving yards since returning in Week 15. Otton has been a forgotten man. Since Week 11, he has just 92 yards on 15 targets, a far cry from Weeks 5-10 when he was a top-12 tight end — without the benefit of scoring a touchdown.
Making him a sleeper this week is purely about the matchup. The Dolphins have been very tight end friendly in 2025. Miami is the second-best opponent for tight ends, having allowed the second-most receptions and third-most receiving yards to the position. The Dolphins have done a good job clamping down on receivers. If Baker Mayfield struggles to get the ball to his wideouts, Otton should see plenty of looks in the passing game.
