Brenton Strange vs Cade Otton: The Full Breakdown
Deciding between Brenton Strange and Cade Otton is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Jacksonville Jaguars tight end put up 7.9 PPG in 2025 over 12 games; Cade Otton of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers averaged 6.2 in 15. A 1.7-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 1.7 points favors Brenton Strange, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one tight end to the other.
Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Brenton Strange had 46 catches for 540 yards; Cade Otton posted 59 for 572. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.
Brenton Strange has his bye in Week 7, and Cade Otton rests in Week 10. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
