Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 26, and is not on the injury report for Week 17.
| Footballguys view: Evans was afforded a rest day, but there's no expectation that he won't be a full go against the Dolphins. The veteran receiver has caught five-plus balls in each of his two games since returning from a broken collarbone. He's a high-end WR2 this week. |

Link to storyTampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving rushed 19 times for 71 yards in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers, and he was not targeted in the passing game.
| Footballguys view: Sean Tucker scored the only rushing touchdown for the Bucs. He is a thorn in the side of Irving fantasy teams, along with the Bucs coaches for not using Irving in the passing game. Irving is still a strong RB2 play next week against a Miami defense that gave up four running back touchdowns in Week 16. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield completed 18-of-26 passes for 145 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers. He ran four times for 49 yards, too.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers defense was in Mayfield's face all day and rarely let him get clean looks or time to throw downfield. He wasn't a good play this week but will be a great play against Miami next week for teams that don't have a clearcut QB1. The Bucs can still make the playoffs with wins over the Dolphins and Panthers in the last two games. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 19, and is not on the injury report for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Godwin's DNP yesterday came with a "rest" designation, so there is no concern about him being limited in this matchup. He is not living up to the top-three receiver he was last season, but he remains a solid WR3 this week against the Panthers. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 19, and is not on the injury report for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Otton has failed to reach 30 yards in each of his last four games and has yet to score a touchdown this season. With Mike Evans and Chris Godwin Sr. back in the lineup, Otton is well off the fantasy radar. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 19, and is not on the injury report for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Mike Evans was in vintage form last week, catching six of 12 targets for 132 yards. As long as he remains healthy, he is back in the high-end WR2 discussion going forward. |

| Footballguys view: With 75 yards over the last two games, Godwin hasn't been producing much for Fantasy GMs. Let's see what he can do on Friday, but if he plays against the Panthers in Week 16 he should be seen as a deep flex option. |
