Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield not on injury report Fri Dec 5, 03:28 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 5, and is not on the injury report for Week 14.

Footballguys view: The injury Mayfield sustained in Week 12 is to his non-throwing shoulder. He played through it last week and will do so again in Week 14. Hopefully by Week 15, Mayfield will have his full complement of receivers back, helping him regain the upside that made him a plug-and-play QB1 last year.

Buccaneers | Bucky Irving set to play Fri Dec 5, 03:16 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 5, and is not on the injury report for Week 14.

Footballguys view: Irving returned last week and immediately regained his workhorse role. Fire him up as an RB1 this week.

Buccaneers | No designation for Chris Godwin Fri Dec 5, 03:10 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 5, but is not on the injury report for Week 14.

Footballguys view: Godwin logged a full practice on Thursday, and there seems to be no concern about his limited participation on Friday. Godwin was clearly shaking off the rust last week, but he garnered enough volume to put him in the WR3 discussion this week against the Saints.

Buccaneers | Jalen McMillan out again Fri Dec 5, 12:50 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (neck) has been ruled out for Week 14.

Footballguys view: It's promising that McMillan was back at practice this week. He'll hope to recover in time for Week 15's matchup. When active, McMillan will likely fall behind Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, and Mike Evans, making his path to fantasy relevance thin. Still, we saw him step up late last year amidst injuries, putting him on the radar as a stash in extremely deep leagues.

Buccaneers | Mike Evans out Fri Dec 5, 12:19 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) won't play in Week 14.

Footballguys view: Evans was back at practice this week and hopes to make his return in Week 15. There are few IR stashes with as much upside as Evans. If he's available in your fantasy league, he should be a priority addition.

Buccaneers | Mike Evans on the field Thursday Thu Dec 4, 11:51 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) was spotted lined up against CB Jamel Dean in practice Thursday, Dec. 4.

Footballguys view: Evans may return to the field in Week 14 against the Saints. He would need some time to shake off the rust, but Fantasy GMs can look to him as at least a 'what the heck' flex if he plays.

Buccaneers | Mike Evans opens window Wed Dec 3, 09:44 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) opened his 21-day practice window Wednesday, Dec. 3.

Footballguys view: Evans could play in Week 14, but we have to see what his practice status is like later in the week. If he's out there against the Saints, Evans can be counted on as a deep flex play as he shakes off the rust.

Buccaneers | Jalen McMillan expected to practice Wed Dec 3, 09:42 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (neck) is expected to open his 21-day practice window Wednesday, Dec. 3.

Buccaneers | Mike Evans could practice Mon Dec 1, 12:44 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) could return to practice this week, according to head coach Todd Bowles.

Footballguys view: Evans was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 22 after suffering a broken clavicle during the Bucs' Week 7 loss to the Lions. In his 12th season, Evans had caught 14 passes for 140 yards at the time of his injury. This is now set to be his first season without reaching 1,000 yards receiving in his career. Dealing with several injuries on their offense this season, the Bucs currently rank No. 17 in points scored and No. 21 in total yards. Evans would undoubtedly be a factor down the stretch if cleared. We'll be watching for more.

Buccaneers | Bucky Irving scores in return Sun Nov 30, 08:48 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving rushed 17 times for 61 yards and a touchdown and caught two passes for 20 yards in a 20-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13.

Footballguys view: Irving returned from a seven-game absence and played the lead role in his first game back. According to Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke, Irving wasn't on the field as much as he was earlier in the season, but he touched the ball on a higher percentage of his plays. The decreased playing time in his first week back makes sense. So does an increasing role over the rest of the season. The Buccaneers play the Saints in Week 14.

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield tosses TD in win Sun Nov 30, 08:43 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield completed 18 of his 28 passes for 194 yards and a touchdown and rushed six times for 27 yards in a 20-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13.

Footballguys view: Any concerns about Mayfield's sprained AC joint in his non-throwing shoulder were minimized. It wasn't a huge passing day, but Mayfield made plays with his legs, didn't turn the ball over, and was particularly effective throwing on the move. It was an encouraging performance given the circumstances. We'll be expecting a healthier Mayfield to turn it up a notch against the Saints in Week 14.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad QB Connor Bazelak was signed to the 53-man roster Saturday, Nov. 29. The team also waived RB Owen Wright.

Buccaneers | Bucky Irving could be on pitch count Sat Nov 29, 11:36 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) could be on a pitch count for Week 13's game against the Arizona Cardinals, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler. However, as the game unfolds, it's possible that the Buccaneers will stick with the hot hand at running back in a game that the team needs to win.

Footballguys view: Ah, the dreaded 'hot hand' approach at running back. The Buccaneers have a three-headed RBBC with Irving back out there. That makes him, Sean Tucker, and Rachaad White all shaky fantasy plays because of the split. If Irving produces as he can, there's RB1 upside there. However, this split makes him more of an RB2, Tucker more of an RB3, and White more of an RB4 from a fantasy lens. Proceed with caution when considering any of these backs until we see how things shake out with all three healthy.

Buccaneers | Chris Godwin to see increased playing time Sat Nov 29, 10:44 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) should see an increased number of offensive snaps in Week 13's game versus the Arizona Cardinals because the team is playing a home game on grass, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.

Footballguys view: The Buccaneers have been planning to play Godwin more going forward, so this sounds about right. With an increased role for Godwin, Fantasy GMs can trust him as at least a deep flex play. We'd feel better about Godwin (and the Buccaneers passing game) if we knew Baker Mayfield (shoulder) was 100 percent healthy.

Buccaneers | Sterling Shepard should be available Fri Nov 28, 04:17 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 28, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.

Footballguys view: Shepard looked like he had rewound the clock early this season but hasn't been able to sustain the pace. With Chris Godwin and Cade Otton handling most of the slot work, Shepard has fallen off the fantasy radar.

Buccaneers | Chris Godwin not on injury report Fri Nov 28, 04:12 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 28, but is not on the injury report for Week 13.

Footballguys view: Godwin was downgraded from a full participant to limited from Thursday to Friday. Being removed from the injury report, however, likely indicates it was part of his rehab plan. He's had a quiet year after returning from last season's season-ending ankle injury. This fibula issue kept him sidelined for a while, and he only returned last week. He's worth a stash in case he heats up, but it's tough to recommend starting him, as he's averaging just 20.3 receiving yards per game this season.

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield questionable Fri Nov 28, 04:11 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 28, but is listed as questionable for Week 13.

Footballguys view: A DNP to LP to FP is the progression we want to see from a questionable player, and most signs indicate he's trending toward playing. Mayfield has proven tough as nails throughout his career. He left last week's game after attempting a deep heave before halftime, but has since logged a couple of practices and hopes to suit up. The efficiency that fueled his strong fantasy finish last season has unfortunately cratered. He's still worth a look in two-quarterback and superflex leagues, but in single-quarterback formats, he's just a back-end streamer for now.
