Cade Otton will miss the upcoming game against the Panthers due to a knee injury, paving the way for Payne Durham to take on lead tight end duties. Last week, Durham demonstrated his potential by running routes on 88% of the Buccaneers' passing plays and catching five of seven targets. His performance makes him a potential salary-saver for DFS players, while Otton's absence may lead to increased targets for other key players on the team.
- Cade Otton's injury opens up opportunities for other players on the Buccaneers.
- Payne Durham could be a valuable DFS option this week.
