Cody Thompson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Cody Thompson has put together strong performances over the last two preseason contests. Thompson hauled in five receptions last week and he was able to top that on Friday. The 28-year-old hauled in seven of his eight targets for 45 yards in the win over the Miami Dolphins. Sadly for Thompson, the Bucs have pretty solid depth in terms of wide receiver. However, Thompson has certainly done enough to earn himself a spot on the 53-man roster. It remains to be seen if the team decides to keep him, but Thompson could be an asset if a few injuries happen. He won't have fantasy value to begin the season, but Thompson has played well enough to stick around on this roster.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Cody Thompson was able to make the most of his chances during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 28-year-old hauled in five receptions for a team-high 66 yards and one touchdown in the loss. His score was on a six-yard pass from quarterback Kyle Trask in the first half. It was a quality outing from Thompson who looked like the best receiving option on the field during Saturday's game. He'll need to keep this going during the final preseason game as Thompson is battling for a spot on the 53-man roster. Another strong game like this could secure Thompson a backup wideout spot to begin the season.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cody Thompson on Wednesday to help replace Deven Thompkins (hamstring), who was placed on Injured Reserve this week. Thompson will be competing for a roster spot at training camp this summer and during the preseason after catching his only target for 10 yards in seven games played for the Seahawks in his second season in the NFL. The 28-year-old pass-catcher joined the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent out of Toledo in 2021 and was active for five games, but he didn't see a single target. Even if Thompson makes the roster heading into the 2024 regular season, he'll be buried on the receiver depth chart and is completely off the fantasy radar.
