The Buccaneers have agreed to a three-year deal with WR Chris Godwin. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that it'll pay the WR $22 million a year, with $44 million in total guarantees.
The Buccaneers promoted Josh Grizzard to OC, replacing Liam Coen. Grizzard was the team's passing game coordinator last year. He spent the previous seven seasons with the Dolphins, moving from offensive quality control to WRs coach. Grizzard has no play-calling experience at any level, but the Bucs are prioritizing continuity after the big 2024 season under Coen. "Josh is bright and innovative and was instrumental in our game planning and play design over the last year," HC Todd Bowles said. "After interviewing several outstanding candidates throughout this process, it ultimately became clear that our best option was here in our building." Grizzard will be Tampa Bay's fourth different OC in the last four years -- and QB Baker Mayfield's ninth different play caller as a pro.
Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is active for tonight's game vs. the Commanders. It'll be his first action since Week 15. Otton should step back in as Tampa Bay's primary pass-catching TE but isn't a very exciting fantasy play. He averaged just 4.3 targets, 2.5 catches, and 36 yards across his last four games with WR Mike Evans back. TE Devin Culp is a healthy scratch tonight.
Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's Wild Card game vs. the Commanders. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday, so he's seemingly on track to play. Otton had a few big games in the middle of the season with WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin out, but he averaged just 4.3 targets, 2.5 catches, and 36 yards across his last four games with Evans back.
Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Saints. TEs Payne Durham and Devin Culp split playing time last week, so neither is a reliable Week 18 fantasy start.
Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Saints. TEs Payne Durham and Devin Culp split playing time last week, so neither is a bankable Week 18 fantasy start.
Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. That should mean lead duties again for TE Payne Durham. He surprisingly ran a route on 88% of Bucs pass plays last week, catching five of seven targets for 29 yards. He'd be a desperation play in season-long lineups but is a viable salary-saver in DFS. Otton's absence could also push more targets to WRs Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan and RBs Bucky Irving and Rachaad White.
Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. He's looking unlikely to play vs. the Panthers this weekend. Payne Durham stepped in as Tampa Bay's lead TE with Otton out last week, catching five of seven targets on an 88% route rate. You should be able to do better in season-long lineups, but Durham will be in play as a cheap DFS option.
Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Cowboys. TEs Payne Durham, Ko Kieft, and Devin Culp are active, but none is a viable fantasy play. Otton’s absence should push more targets to Tampa Bay’s WRs and RBs.
Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday night’s game vs. the Cowboys. HC Todd Bowles called him a game-time decision on Friday morning, but he’s evidently unlikely to play. The other TEs on Tampa Bay’s roster are Payne Durham, Ko Kieft, and Devin Culp. None is a viable fantasy play. Otton’s absence should push more targets to the WRs and RBs.
Update: The Buccaneers downgraded Otton to out.
