The Top TEs To Start in Week 10
Cade Otton, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Analysis by Derek Tate | Baker Mayfield threw two touchdowns against the Texans on Sunday, and both of those scores went to the second-year tight end, Cade Otton. His nine targets, 70 receiving yards, and two touchdowns were all season highs.

If the Bucs struggle to run the ball against the Titans, it could force Mayfield to continue to throw the ball to generate points. Translation: Otton is certainly a streaming option at the TE position in Week 10.
Dalton Schultz, Houston Texans
Analysis by Jason Katz | I know what you’re thinking. I’m just point-chasing from last week’s career effort from Dalton Schultz. I promise that’s not the case.
It’s certainly encouraging to see Stroud playing so well and targeting his tight end. Schultz caught 10 of 11 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown last week. He has reestablished himself as an every-week TE1.
The reason I’m so bullish on Schultz this week is the matchup. The Bengals have been quite a favorable opponent for tight ends this season. They’re allowing 15.7 ppg to the position, the third-most in the league. Only the Los Angeles Rams and Denver Broncos have seen a higher percentage of their total receiving yards allowed go to tight ends than the Bengals’ 26.2%.
With the Bengals offense humming, the Texans should be trailing and throwing once again. Plus, the Texans have no semblance of a running back. We could be looking at another strong week from Schultz.
