What we can learn about Bucs' 2023 offense from new OC Dave Canales' time in Seattle

Productive close to season Otton brought in four of seven targets for 58 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-14 wild-card loss to the Cowboys on Monday night. He finished the 2022 regular season with 42 receptions f...

Impact The rookie tight end put a productive cap on his first NFL season with Monday night's showing, which saw him check in third in receiving yards and fourth in catches and targets on the night for the Buccaneers. Otton recorded just one catch for four yards on two targets over his first two NFL games, but he began expanding his profile in the offense beginning in Week 4 against Kansas City and posted multiple receptions in 11 of the final 14 contests of the campaign. Otton was afforded enough of a platform to prove he can serve as the top receiving option at the position, but it remains to be seen who he'll be catching passes from in 2023 with Tom Brady potentially not back in Tampa Bay.

One catch in finale Otton secured his only target for five yards in the Buccaneers' 30-17 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact The rookie tight end saw just 19 snaps from scrimmage as head coach Todd Bowles limited the play of his starters. Otton recorded multiple receptions in 11 of his last 13 regular-season games, but he'll head into next Monday night's wild-card matchup against the Cowboys not having topped 28 receiving yards since Week 10.

Quiet in win Otton caught two of six targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Panthers.

Impact Otton played 68 of the Buccaneers' 78 offensive snaps Sunday, the most of any Tampa Bay pass catcher. Despite seeing the field for all but 10 snaps, the rookie tight end could not get much going in the contest. Assuming his steady usage continues, Otton will look to have a bounce back performance in Week 18 as the Buccaneers visit the Falcons to close out the regular season.

Gets back to full participation Otton (quadriceps) practiced fully Thursday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Otton opened Week 17 prep with a limited session Wednesday due to a quad injury, but it didn't stop him from getting back to all activity one day later. He'll thus continue to serve as Tampa Bay's top receiving tight end Sunday versus the Panthers, which so far has resulted in a 39-369-2 line on 58 targets for the rookie fourth-round pick in 14 games this season.

Dealing with quad issue Otton was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a quadriceps injury.

Impact Otton has been a regular in the Buccaneers offense when healthy in his rookie season, playing more than 50 percent of snaps in 13 of 14 appearances. His target count has been all over the place, though, with a range of zero to 10 over the last five games, a stretch in which he compiled a 13-88-1 line on 23 targets. With a health concern in tow, Otton's status will continue to be monitored as the week goes on ahead of Sunday's NFC South showdown with the Panthers.

DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Two catches in Week 16 win Otton brought in two of seven targets for 12 yards in the Buccaneers' 19-16 overtime win over the Cardinals on Sunday night.

Impact Otton notably checked in third in targets on the night for the Buccaneers, but his inefficiency in corralling those looks led to a lackluster fantasy performance. The rookie also logged a whopping 65 snaps overall, leaving position mate's Cameron Brate's eight plays from scrimmage in the dust. Otton should continue to enjoy a robust role in a key Week 17 divisional clash against the Panthers.

DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to one catch Sunday Otton secured his only target for 20 yards in the Buccaneers' 34-23 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Impact Otton logged a robust 48 snaps, so his meager volume was particularly perplexing on a day when Tom Brady threw for 312 yards. However, with 19 more plays from scrimmage than veteran position mate Cameron Brate, Otton still appears to be the top pass-catching option at the position going into a Week 16 Christmas Night road matchup against the Cardinals.

DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Four catches in loss Otton brought in four of five targets for 28 yards in the Buccaneers' 35-7 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Impact Otton once again logged a solid target tally despite the return of Cameron Brate from a one-game absence due to an illness. However, it was a quiet day for the Buccaneers passing game overall against the 49ers' suffocating defense, one where no pass catcher recorded more than 54 yards (Chris Godwin). Otton has 10 receptions overall in the last two games, giving him a solid floor heading into a Week 15 home matchup against the Bengals.

Key scoring grab in win Otton secured six of 10 targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night.

Impact The rookie tight end tied for second on the team in receptions and was the runner-up in targets as well, but the most noteworthy part of his night was his one-yard touchdown grab with three minutes remaining that made it a one-possession game. Otton once again had the No. 1 tight end role to himself with Cameron Brate (illness) logging his fourth absence in the last six games, which led to a new career high in targets for the 2022 fourth-round pick. Otton will aim to build on the solid performance in a Week 14 road battle versus the 49ers.

No targets in Week 12 loss Otton did not draw a target over 36 snaps during the Buccaneers' 23-17 overtime loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Impact The complete lack of involvement was a shock considering Otton had recorded multiple catches in seven straight games and had made at least one reception in every game except for the Week 1 win over the Cowboys. Otton still led the tight end group in snaps and should have an opportunity to bounce back against the Saints in the Week 13 Monday night divisional clash.

NOVEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Three grabs in win Otton brought in all three of his targets for 35 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-16 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

Impact Despite the return of Cameron Brate from a neck injury, Otton still out-snapped his teammate by a 46-34 count and also logged one more target. He appears to have Tom Brady's trust -- particularly after hauling in a game-winning touchdown against the Rams in Week 9 -- and the transition from Brate to Otton as the top pass-catching option at tight end is underway. His next opportunity to build on an already solid rookie campaign comes in a Week 12 road matchup against the Browns, following a Week 11 bye.

Hauls in winning TD Otton caught five of six targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Rams.

Impact The rookie tight end was quiet most of the game, but he emerged as Tom Brady's favorite target in the fourth quarter, hauling in a 28-yard pass to begin the Bucs' final possession before capping it with a one-yard game-winning TD with just nine seconds left on the clock. Otton has seen at least five targets in all four games Cameron Brate (neck) has missed this season, and the trust he's earning from Brady could allow him to retain a significant role even if Brate is healthy for a Week 10 clash with the Seahawks in Germany.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • TAMPABAY.COM

Pair of grabs in Week 8 loss Otton brought in two of five targets for 15 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Impact The rookie tight end drew another start with Cameron Brate (neck) out of action, but he couldn't parlay the opportunity into the same level of production he'd enjoyed in a pair of previous contests with an expanded role. Otton logged a robust 56 snaps overall, so the inefficient night certainly wasn't attributable to a lack of playing time. Otton has showed plenty of promise as a pass catcher, however, so even if Brate is back for the Week 9 home matchup against the Rams a week from Sunday, the 2022 fourth-round pick should still see a solid amount of playing time.
