Cade Otton and Jake Ferguson face off on Thursday Night Football

Cade Otton of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Jake Ferguson of the Dallas Cowboys will be key tight ends in the upcoming Thursday Night Football matchup. Otton has averaged 5.8 targets per game while relying heavily on a young quarterback, Jalon Daniels. In contrast, Ferguson has scored three touchdowns this season on limited targets and has a higher overall catch rate. Both players present unique challenges, with the Cowboys defense allowing moderate fantasy points to tight ends, and the Buccaneers ranked lower in that category. This week’s projections suggest that Ferguson may have the edge in terms of targets and overall offensive role as both teams prepare for the game.
