Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin saw a ton of work during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. McLaughlin was called upon for six extra point attempts and two field goals and he connected on all of them to make an eight-kick day for him. Fantasy managers who trusted McLaughlin saw a good result during Sunday's blowout win. The 28-year-old has been one of the more reliable kicking options this season. He continues to get plenty of chances with the way this Bucs offense is rolling right now. McLaughlin remains a strong streaming option for next week's matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Payne Durham once again saw an expanded role with Cade Otton (knee) sidelined for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Last week, Durham hauled in five of his seven targets for 29 yards. This week, Durham didn't see as many targets, but he finished with two receptions on three targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the win. Both Durham and Devin Culp saw increased roles with Otton on the sideline. Durham might be worth a look as a low-end TE2 if Otton remains out for next week's matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Devin Culp was able to make an impact on the field during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. The Bucs were without Cade Otton (knee), so Culp saw increased playing time. The rookie tight end hauled in three of his four targets for 53 yards in the win. This was the first time that Culp has been involved in the passing game this season. He finished with the third-most yardage in the receiving game during his Week 17 victory. Despite that, Culp is unlikely to carry much value going forward. Otton is going to be the starter once healthy and Culp will go back to being a depth option on this team.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Jalen McMillan continued his impressive late-season surge during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. The rookie wideout hauled in all five of his targets for 51 yards and two touchdowns in the win. McMillan now has six touchdowns over his last four games after having one total touchdown heading into Week 14. Fantasy managers are finally getting production out of the rookie wideout at the best time of the season. McMillan might sneak onto the WR2 radar for the Week 18 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker surprisingly saw his usage increase during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Tucker hasn't seen much of the field lately, but he was able to make an impact in Week 17. He rushed the ball eight times for 39 yards and hauled in his lone target for five yards in the win. The eight carries from Tucker are the most from him since his 136-yard outing in Week 6. It looks like Tucker and Rachaad White are going to be fighting for scraps with Bucky Irving running away with the lead back job. Tucker is worth holding in some dynasty formats, but he's unlikely going to have weekly success as the third option in the backfield.
