The Buccaneers and QB Baker Mayfield have agreed to a three-year contract with a max value of $115M. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Mayfield is set to receive $50M guaranteed. Mayfield led the Buccaneers to a 9-8 record in his first season with the team while completing 64.3% of his passes, with 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. His return should bring continuity to the offense that also retained Mike Evans.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are placing their franchise tag on S Antoine Winfield Jr. with the hopes of getting a long-term deal done. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Winfield had a career year, grading out as PFF's top safety, earning an All-Pro nod, leading the NFL in forced fumbles, and notching three interceptions and six sacks. After an ultra-productive campaign, Tampa Bay is doing what it can to retain Winfield, and the tag is likely a placeholder meant to buy the Buccaneers time while they can have exclusive talks with his camp. Some reports said Winfield could be commanding $20+ million in his ensuing deal.

Mike Evans has agreed to a two-year, $52 million deal to stay with Tampa Bay. (Source: Adam Schefter via Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Evans has spent his entire career with Tampa, and it looks more and more likely he will finish it there. The speculation was he would enter free agency and test the market, but he is staying put with the team that drafted him. He’ll be the unquestioned top wide receiver for next season for whomever the Bucs bring in at QB, whether Baker Mayfield or a new face in 2024.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive lineman Ryan Jensen announced on Friday, Feb. 2 that he is retiring from the NFL, per his Instagram. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Jensen, 32, played eight seasons in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens (four) and Buccaneers (five). He missed the entire 2022 and 2023 regular seasons as he battled a knee injury right after hitting his prime moments as a pro -- including a Super Bowl win and his first Pro Bowl nod. Jensen started 90 career games, playing in 100, and appeared in his last game in the 2022 postseason game against the Dallas Cowboys, Tom Brady's last NFL game.

Fantasy Impact: It is an upgrade for Godwin after he was sidelined on Wednesday. He should be good to play in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers D/ST allowed zero points, while collecting three sacks and two fumble recoveries in a shutout victory of Carolina.

Fantasy Impact: The Tampa Bay defense allowed 94 passing yards and 131 rushing yards in the win over the Panthers. The defense made up for a struggling Buccaneers’ offense and kept the Panthers’ offense guessing all afternoon.

Cade Otton caught 2-of-3 targets for 30 yards in Tampa Bay’s 9-0 win over Carolina.

Fantasy Impact: Otton had a quiet day as the Tampa Bay passing attack struggled to get anything consistent going. The 24-year-old tight end will finish the season with 455 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 47 receptions. Otton is likely the favorite to open the 2024 season as the starting TE for Tampa Bay.

Trey Palmer caught 2-of-6 targets for 10 yards in Tampa Bay’s 9-0 win over Carolina.

Fantasy Impact: Palmer had a quiet end to his 2023 season. The 22-year-old will finish the year with 385 yards and two touchdowns on 39 receptions. Palmer will likely have a chance to carve out a larger role in the Buccaneers’ offense in 2024.

Rachaad White rushed for 75 yards on 19 carries in Tampa Bay’s 9-0 win over Carolina. He caught 4-of-4 targets for 18 yards.

Fantasy Impact: White continues to operate as the lead rusher for the Tampa Bay offense. The 24-year-old may have shown enough to secure the starting job next season as well. White and the Buccaneers will host a playoff game next week after winning the NFC South.

Ke'Shawn Vaughn has been waived by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. (Source: Ari Meirov on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Vaughn has been a member of the Buccaneers since they selected him in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, but now his tenure with the team is coming to a close. They waived him on Friday, and barring this being some form of roster gymnastics, it looks like he will hit the open market if he goes unclaimed on waivers in the next couple of days. This clears the way for rookie Sean Tucker to get more work moving forward.

Deven Thompkins caught 1-of-2 targets for five yards in the Buccaneers’ 20-6 win over the Titans.

Fantasy Impact: Thompkins also added six rushing yards on one attempt in the win. The 23-year-old continues to operate as a depth wide receiver this season and will likely have limited fantasy value moving forward.

Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker is officially inactive for a Week 8 matchup with the Bills.

Fantasy Impact: Tucker failed to log a snap over his last two games and will is now a healthy scratch. The 22-year-old rookie can safely be left on the waiver wire for now.
