Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
A 2008 first-round draft pick out of Pittsburgh, the 6-foot-6, 340-pound Otah started 25 games over his first two seasons before suffering a left knee injury that kept him out for the entire 2010 season. Otah started four games in 2011 before his knee once again landed him on injured reserve. Otah's knee became an issue again this offseason when he was sent for an MRI during the OTAs. In New York, Otah is expected to compete with the much-maligned Wayne Hunter for the starting right tackle job. In Carolina, the Panthers' starting right tackle position will come to a battle between Byron Bell, an undrafted rookie from New Mexico who started 12 games for the Panthers last season, and Bruce Campbell, a big, athletic 2010 fourth-round pick by the Raiders who the Panthers acquired in exchange for RB Mike Goodson earlier this offseason. Bell played well last season and likely has the edge over Campbell, who is moving back to tackle after Oakland tried to make him a guard.
