Tampa Bay Buccaneers DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White once again took a backseat to Bucky Irving in the backfield on Sunday. White rushed the ball six times for 30 yards while hauling in his lone target for four additional yards through the air. It was another dud from White who has become an afterthought with Irving having so much success lately. Irving recorded his third 100-plus yard performance during Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers. The rookie back appears to have taken over as the full-time back in Tampa Bay, so White looks like he's just going to be the backup going forward. That being said, White won't have great streaming appeal for the Week 18 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Bucky Irving was all over the place during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. The rookie back rushed 20 times for 113 yards, which helped him surpass the 1,000-yard mark for the season. Irving also hauled in all four of his targets for 77 additional yards through the air. This 100-plus yard performance marked Irving's third 100-yard performance in his last five games. The 22-year-old is literally running away with the lead back job in Tampa Bay. He'll be a RB1 for the regular season finale against the New Orleans Saints.
