Cade Otton, Hunter Henry, and Cole Kmet - they are all tight ends who should have an increased presence with their respective teams.
They are big players who can create lopsided matchups against opposing defenses, with only a few linebackers and even fewer defensive backs able to sufficiently stop them.
Here we take a closer look at fantasy football comparisons.

Is Cade Otton a good fantasy pick in Week 8?
Week 7 was a breakout of sorts for Cade Otton, as he hit 100 yards for the first time in his career, needing only eight catches to do so. However, he should be expected to have a bigger role against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

With Mike Evans and Chris Godwin out injured, the onus will be on him to be Baker Mayfield's top receiver.
Safeties Jessie Bates and Justin Simmons could have had a fantastic time shutting down the aforementioned two wide receivers, but trying to do that against someone who outweighs each of them would be a miracle.
Is Hunter Henry a good fantasy pick in Week 8?
Hunter Henry is most definitely not going to become the New England Patriots' Rob Gronkowski yet, but he is moving in that direction.
Across seven games, he has been their top receiver with 313 yards from 27 catches. The best wideout, Demario Douglas, has just 259 from one fewer catch.
And that is a good thing against the New York Jets, who, despite their offensive struggles, still boast one of the most talented defenses in all of football.
Particularly cornerback Sauce Gardner, who will utterly destroy whatever WR is pitted against him, Alex Van Pelt's best bet is to have Drake Maye throw the ball to Henry.
Is Cole Kmet a good fantasy pick in Week 8?
2022 was a great time for Cole Kmet. On a weak Chicago Bears team, he broke out as one of Justin Fields' favorite targets, being the leading receiver.
He has taken a backseat to DJ Moore since then but still leads above Rome Odunze and Keenan Allen in the receiving corps.
At the Washington Commanders, he should have ample opportunities to shine alongside all three wideouts, as the opposing secondary still lacks the impact-creating performance.
Whom should I start among Cade Otton, Hunter Henry, and Cole Kmet?
The Sportskeeda Start/Sit Tool has a very close battle among the three players, but ultimately it is Otton getting the nod.
It is unfortunate that the Buccaneers' top two wide receivers are hurting, but there is a famous mantra that he can manifest on Sunday: "Pressure creates diamonds."
Trey Palmer and Sterling Shepard are currently less competent, but all attention will be on Otton, the only TE who has been slowly creating his own reputation within a young roster.
