Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer has seen an increased involvement in the offense over the last few weeks. In fact, Palmer has hauled in 10 of his 13 targets over the last three games. During that span, Palmer has posted two games with over 40 receiving yards and scored one touchdown. The rookie wideout has moved his way up in the pecking order, but remains the third option in the passing game. The expectation is that Palmer will see a handful of chances this weekend. However, he remains a shaky option for DFS contests given that he's the third option in the passing game.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has been barely involved in the offense since the month of December. Otton has been held to 44 receiving yards or less in his last six games. The young tight end has an bypassed by wide receiver Trey Palmer in the pecking order. Last week, Otton finished with two receptions for 30 yards in the win over the Carolina Panthers. DFS players should expect a similar outing from Otton who struggled during his last meeting against the Philadelphia Eagles. DFS players should be able to find a better option for this weekend.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans hasn't been involved as much in the offense over the last few weeks. In fact, fellow wideout Chris Godwin has seen a 29 percent target share compared to Evans' 19 percent share since Week 12. Possibly, the various injuries to quarterback Baker Mayfield is contributing to the lack of targets for Evans. Regardless, the Bucs need to find a way to get Evans involved in the passing game during Monday's playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Evans finished with 60 receiving yards and a touchdown during their last meeting in Week 3. The expectation is Evans will remain the primary deep threat for this team against the Eagles shaky secondary. Despite his recent slump, DFS players should be able to count on Evans this weekend.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin had a slow start to the season, but picked it up towards the end of the regular season. The veteran wideout saw 10 or more targets in three of his last five games. Godwin finished his regular season with 1,024 receiving yards, which is one yard more than his previous campaign. However, Godwin was only able to find the end zone twice through the air, which is what hurt his fantasy value. The expectation is that the Bucs are going to continue attacking through the air against the shaky Philadelphia Eagles secondary on Monday. The lack of scoring makes Godwin less of an appealing DFS option, but he should still stay involved in the passing game.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has taken a major step forward during his second season. The 25-year-old rushed for 990 yards, which is double the yardage from his rookie campaign. Also, White found the end zone on the ground six times compared to his one score from last season. The Bucs have made White a focal point on offense with 20 or more carries in four of his last six games. The expectation is that the Bucs will continue to pound the ball with White during Monday's Wild-Card matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. White should make for a safe option in DFS contests this weekend.
