Bucs TE Cameron Brate has been diagnosed with a sprained neck, HC Todd Bowles said Monday. Brate has no neurological issues. It's about the best-case scenario after he was carted off the field during Sunday's loss to the Steelers. It's still unclear, though, how long Brate will be sidelined. If he misses games, rookie TE Cade Otton will be a low-end fantasy option.

The Bucs released TE Cameron Brate. The 31-year-old has been 1 of the least efficient TEs in the NFL over the past 2 seasons, turning 95 targets into just 419 yards and 4 TDs. He missed 6 games with a concussion and neck injury last year. We'll see if Brate keeps playing in 2023, but he's fallen off the fantasy radar.

Bucs TE Cameron Brate is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Panthers. It's not a major surprise after the 31-year-old played just 8 snaps last week. Brate's absence is a slight boost to TE Cade Otton's fantasy stock. TEs Kyle Rudolph and Ko Kieft are also active for Tampa.

Bucs TE Cameron Brate (illness) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll be back for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers. Brate isn’t a fantasy option, but his return knocks TE Cade Otton out of consideration.
