Tampa Bay Buccaneers DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) returned to a limited practice session on Thursday after he was deemed a non-participant on Wednesday. Godwin was most likely just being rested in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, so he should be fully ready to go for Sunday's Divisional Round game against the Detroit Lions in a great matchup. The 27-year-old took a back seat to teammate Mike Evans over the majority of the 2023 regular season, but he stood out in Monday night's wild-card win over the Philadelphia Eagles, catching four of his five targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the 32-9 rout. The Lions defense allowed the third-most half-PPR fantasy points to opposing receivers during the regular season, so Godwin is a solid DFS target at his current $6,300 DraftKings salary for this weekend's slate.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle, ribs) was a full participant in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Mayfield tweaked his ankle in the Week 18 regular season finale but played in Monday night's wild-card win over the Philadelphia Eagles and had a great game, going 22-for-36 for 337 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. The tough 28-year-old signal-caller won't have any issues being ready to suit for the Divisional Round contest in Detroit against the Lions on Sunday, and he'll be an interesting low-cost DFS sleeper at the QB position for the second straight week in another friendly matchup in the dome in Detroit. In the game against the Lions way back in Week 6, Mayfield had only 206 passing yards with no touchdowns and an interception.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Chase Edmonds (toe) was listed as a non-participant for Wednesday's walkthrough practice. We'll have a better idea of whether Edmonds' injury is serious enough to keep him out of the Divisional Round this Sunday against the Detroit Lions once the team releases their Thursday injury report. The 27-year-old had seven carries for 12 yards and caught one pass for eight yards in Monday night's wild-card win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Going into this week with an injury as the clear backup to Rachaad White in Tampa's backfield with a bad matchup upcoming against the Lions, Edmonds doesn't really have much DFS appeal for the Divisional Round. If he's unable to play this weekend, rookie Sean Tucker would work as White's backup against the Lions.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) did not take part in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. The Buccaneers are most likely giving Godwin some extra rest to begin the practice week. If the 27-year-old is still sidelined for Thursday's practice, then we'll be a bit more worried about his knee injury heading into Sunday's Divisional Round playoff game versus the Detroit Lions. He was able to catch four of his five targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's wild-card win over the Philadelphia Eagles. If he plays, Godwin will have another great matchup in which to do damage in the dome in Detroit against a suspect secondary in a game that could feature plenty of points on both sides.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer caught one of his two targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Wild Card victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. The rookie took a short pass and took it all the way to the end zone, opening a 25-9 lead for Tampa Bay late in the third quarter. The sixth-rounder from Nebraska posted just 39 receptions for 385 yards and three scores during the regular season, so he remains a touchdown-or-bust DFS option in a favorable matchup with the Detroit Lions in the NFC Divisional Round.
