Tampa Bay Buccaneers DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has showed no signs of slowing down since returning from his three-game absence. The veteran wideout hauled in eight of his 12 targets for 118 yards and a touchdown in the overtime win over the Carolina Panthers. Evans made easy work of this banged up secondary and made some clutch catches down the stretch to help this team get the victory. The 31-year-old is clearly quarterback Baker Mayfield's favorite target and it's going to stay that way with Chris Godwin (ankle) done for the year. Evans is a locked-in WR1 for the Week 14 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving put together a special performance during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. The rookie back looked unstoppable as he rushed 25 times for 152 yards and a touchdown in the overtime victory. Irving also hauled in all three of his targets for 33 yards through the air. It's worth noting that Irving did suffer a hip injury before halftime, but he didn't have any issues in the second half of this game. It appears Irving has run away with the lead back job in Tampa Bay after three straight strong performances. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect another 25-carry game every week, but Irving has made himself a RB1 going forward.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has been non-existent on the ground throughout most of the season. In fact, White only had one 50-plus rushing performance on the season coming into Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Finally, White finds room to run as he rushes for 76 yards on 11 attempts during the overtime victory. To be fair, White got 38 on those yards on one carry which helped the Bucs get in position for the game-winning field goal. Fellow back Bucky Irving outshined White once again and continues to pull away as the top dog in Tampa Bay. White is falling into flex appeal for next week's matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle) put together a less than ideal performance against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The expectation was that Mayfield would bounce back here against the struggling Panthers secondary. That didn't really happen as Mayfield completed 21-of-33 passing attempts for 235 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions in the win. The Panthers pass rush got to Mayfield four times and one time forced him out of the contest briefly due to an ankle injury. It'll take more than that to take down Mayfield as he returned to the contest to help his team get the overtime win. If healthy, Mayfield should be a QB1 for next week's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin has been one of the more consistent kicking options this season. Last week, McLaughlin knocked down his only field goal attempt and made three-of-four extra point kicks in the win over the New York Giants. The Bucs offense has been finding the end zone so frequently that McLaughlin hasn't needed to kick many field goals lately. In fact, McLaughlin has only five field goal attempts over his last four games. The Bucs offense should continue rolling against the Carolina Panthers in Week 13. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect a huge game from McLaughlin, but he should be able to produce enough value worth streaming him this weekend.
