Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ribs, ankle) did what he could during Sunday's regular season finale against the Carolina Panthers. Mayfield came into the game with a serious ribs injury. He also picked up an ankle injury during the first quarter of Sunday's game. Mayfield played through the issues, but it wasn't a pretty performance. He completed 20-of-32 passing attempts for 137 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the win. Mayfield was barely able to move out there, but got the job done and led the Bucs to the postseason. However, the Bucs won't have much of a chance in the playoffs if Mayfield isn't healthy.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer (hip) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after practicing every day this past week. The rookie seems to have emerged as Tampa Bay's No. 3 wide receiver behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, especially after totaling 84 yards and one touchdown while playing 73 percent of offensive snaps in Week 17. He's an appealing dynasty stash but can be left on waivers for the final week of the season in redraft leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ribs) is officially active for Week 18 versus the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction ahead of kickoff. Mayfield's official status mirrors optimism from head coach Todd Bowles, who said, "He'll be ready to go on Sunday." Fantasy managers and Buccaneers fans alike will hope that Mayfield can bounce back after throwing a pair of interceptions in last week's loss to the New Orleans Saints. He ranks as a mid-range QB2 in most fantasy leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ribs) is expected to play in Week 18 versus the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after he logged a full practice on Friday.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Trey Palmer (hip) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to play in Sunday's Week 18 regular season finale against the Carolina Panthers. The 22-year-old will most likely play in a must-win game for the Buccaneers to win the NFC South title, but he might need to prove he's healthy during a pre-game workout on Sunday first. If he suits up, Palmer will continue to work behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in the receiving pecking order, making it hard for him to produce fantasy relevant numbers. Palmer hasn't been bad in his first NFL season, catching 37 passes for 375 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games, but fantasy managers can probably do better when searching for a flex play in Week 18. If he doesn't play, Deven Thompkins would likely serve as Tampa's No. 3 wideout.
