The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be without several key players, including All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield Jr., tight end Cade Otton, and wide receiver Sterling Shepard, for their upcoming game against the Carolina Panthers. Winfield has missed three consecutive games due to a knee sprain, while Otton and Shepard are also sidelined with injuries. The Bucs are looking to secure a playoff spot and will need to win their remaining games to surpass the Atlanta Falcons.

With Cade Otton ruled out for the second consecutive game, Payne Durham is expected to take on a larger role in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense. Last week, he played 93% of the offensive snaps and had a decent performance against the Cowboys. The upcoming matchup against the Panthers presents a favorable opportunity for Durham, as the Carolina defense has struggled against tight ends this season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Panthers due to a knee injury. This marks his second consecutive game missed, and he has only practiced once in the last two weeks. With Otton sidelined, Payne Durham is expected to take on the majority of the tight end responsibilities for the Buccaneers. Otton's focus will now shift to recovering for the final game of the season against the Saints.

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, the Buccaneers' tight end, did not participate in Thursday's practice due to a knee injury, making his availability for the upcoming game against the Panthers doubtful. In his absence, Payne Durham stepped up as the lead tight end last week, showcasing his potential with a solid performance. While he may not be the best choice for season-long fantasy lineups, he could be a viable option for daily fantasy sports (DFS) players looking for budget-friendly picks.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton will not play in tonight's game against the Dallas Cowboys due to a knee injury. With Otton sidelined, the Buccaneers will rely more on their wide receivers and running backs for offensive production. The active tight ends for the game include Payne Durham, Ko Kieft, and Devin Culp, but none are expected to be strong fantasy options.
