Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was the primary pass-catcher for this offense during last weekend's win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Otton hauled in eight of his 11 targets for 89 yards in the win. Quarterback Baker Mayfield (ribs, ankle) was still somewhat immobile, so he leaned on the short routes to Otton. This gameplan of getting the ball out quick to Otton worked against the shaky Eagles defense. However, the Bucs are unlikely to have the same success against the Detroit Lions defense. Before this game, Otton had been held to two receptions or less in six straight games. DFS players shouldn't expect another eight-catch performance from Otton this weekend.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer has found the end zone in two of his last three games. Last week, Palmer hauled in one of his two targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The rookie wideout was quiet in the game outside of his huge score. It's worth noting that Palmer has 40 receiving yards or more in three of his last four games. However, he's still the third option on this offense behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin (knee) who is currently on the injury report. If Godwin sits, Palmer would likely see a bigger role in the offense. Otherwise, Palmer will likely remain an afterthought as he only has three total receptions in his last two games.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans wasn't able to make much of an impact during last week's playoff victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran wideout hauled in three of his seven targets for 48 yards in the win. Evans is normally the deep threat option for this offense, but was held in check by defensive back Darius Slay. Instead, Evans watched David Moore, Trey Palmer, and Chris Godwin all score long touchdowns. The expectation is that Evans will remain an important piece to the passing game. Evans is looking like a boom-or-bust DFS option for the upcoming Divisional Round matchup against the Detroit Lions.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White continues to be the workhorse back in this offense. White has posted back-to-back games with over 70 rushing yards, which is nice to see. However, White hasn't seen much involvement in the passing game, which is hurting his fantasy value. He has also been held out of the end zone for three straight games. It won't get any easier for White in a divisional round matchup against the Detroit Lions this weekend. His high usage makes him an interesting DFS candidate, but the lack of pass-catching and scoring is a concern.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Chase Edmonds (toe) was unable to practice with the team on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Edmonds is now fully in jeopardy of missing the Divisional Round of the playoffs on Sunday in Detroit against the Lions. The 27-year-old will need to get back on the practice field to have a shot at suiting up. And even if Edmonds is active this weekend, he'll continue being the clear backup to starter Rachaad White in a Buccaneers offense that loves to air it out first and foremost. Edmonds' best fantasy day in 2023 was when he put up 8.1 half-PPR points in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints. He did not suit up in the first meeting with the Lions in Week 6. If Edmonds cannot play on Sunday, rookie Sean Tucker would be elevated to the backup job.
