The Buccaneers D/ST allowed 27 points while notching one sack and forcing five turnovers in a 27-24 loss to the Bears in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact: Tampa Bay's defense has been on fire in the takeaway category of late as they have nine over their past two games. They were led by Zyon McCollum, who had two interceptions and two pass breakups. Tampa will be on bye in Week 10 before a Week 11 matchup vs. the Lions.

Chase McLaughlin made all three of his field-goal attempts and added an extra point in a 27-24 loss to the Bears in Week 9.

Cade Otton caught four of his eight targets for 25 yards in a 27-24 loss to the Bears in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact: Otton led the Bucs in targets, although he failed to do much with the opportunities. The veteran tight end has now caught 23 passes for 211 scoreless yards through nine games. A low-end TE2 for fantasy purposes, Otton will be on bye in Week 10 before taking on the Lions in Week 11.

Tez Johnson caught two of his five targets for 76 yards in a 27-24 loss to the Bears in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact: Johnson led the Buccaneers in receiving yards in the close loss on Sunday night. The veteran wideout did most of his damage on a 58-yard reception. Johnson will be on bye in Week 10 before he takes on the Lions in Week 11.

Ted Hurst III failed to catch his lone target in a 27-24 loss to the Bears in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact: Hurst only drew one target in a game where the Tampa Bay passing attack struggled yet again. The rookie wideout has caught 11 passes for 168 yards and one touchdown in nine games this season. He will be on bye in Week 10 before a Week 11 matchup against the Lions.

Chris Godwin Jr. caught two of his three targets for 16 yards and added a 12-yard run in a 27-24 loss to the Bears in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact: Godwin was quiet in the loss in what has been a disappointing year for him. He is still looking for his first touchdown of the season while failing to go over 46 receiving yards in any of his nine games. Droppable in 12-team leagues, Godwin will be on bye in Week 10 before he takes on the Lions in Week 11.

Emeka Egbuka caught three of his five targets for 38 yards in a 27-24 loss to the Bears in Week 9. He also gained one yard on his lone rush in the loss.

Fantasy Impact: Egbuka was dealing with a foot injury throughout the week and was listed as questionable for the game before ultimately suiting up. The second-year wideout has 31 catches for 278 yards and two touchdowns in seven games this season. He will be on bye in Week 10 before taking on the Lions in Week 11.

Sean Tucker did not receive any touches in a 27-24 loss to the Bears in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact: Tucker did not get the ball as Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell led the Tampa backfield in the close loss. It is apparent that Tucker will need an injury ahead of him to carve out a role for the Bucs. He will be on bye in Week 10 before a Week 11 matchup vs. the Lions.

Kenny Gainwell carried the ball five times for 16 yards and caught all three of his targets for 60 yards in a 27-24 loss to the Bears in Week 9.

He will be on bye in Week 10.

Bucky Irving carried the ball 20 times for 97 yards and two touchdowns while catching four of his five targets for 28 yards in a 27-24 loss to the Bears in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact: Irving scored on rushes of two and six yards in the close loss, giving him five touchdowns over his past three games. The veteran running back has been one of the few bright spots on a disappointing Tampa Bay offense this season, posting 825 rushing yards and eight all-purpose touchdowns in nine contests. He will be on bye in Week 10 before taking on the Lions in Week 11.

Baker Mayfield completed 18 of his 32 passes for 232 yards and two interceptions in a 27-24 loss to the Bears in Week 9. He also ran for a two-point conversion in the game.

Fantasy Impact: Mayfield threw for a season-high 243 yards but he failed to throw a touchdown for the second straight game. One of his interceptions was returned 67 yards for a touchdown by Jalon Johnson in the third quarter. Mayfield has thrown for 922 yards, three touchdowns, and four interceptions in six games this season. He will be on bye in Week 10 before a Week 11 matchup against the Lions.

The Bears D/ST allowed 24 points while notching four sacks and forcing two turnovers in a 27-24 win over the Buccaneers in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact: Chicago got a 67-yard pick-six from Jalon Johnson in the third quarter in a sloppy game with seven turnovers between the two teams. The Bears will be on bye in Week 10 before taking on the Saints in Week 11.

Cairo Santos made both of his field goals and added three extra points in a 27-24 win over the Buccaneers in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact: Santos hit field goals from 25 and 38 yards out, with the second kick serving as the game-winner as time expired. Santos has made 15 of his 19 field-goal attempts this season. He will be on bye in Week 10 before taking on the Saints in Week 11.

Colston Loveland caught four of his six targets for 54 yards in a 27-24 win over the Buccaneers in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact: Loveland was quiet for most of the evening, catching two passes for 44 yards on the team's final drive of the game. The second-year tight end has caught 37 passes for 363 yards and two touchdowns in nine games this year. A low-end TE1 in fantasy, Loveland will be on bye in Week 10.

Kalif Raymond caught four of his seven targets for 32 yards in a 27-24 win over the Buccaneers in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact: Raymond posted his best receiving game since Week 3 when he had six catches for 90 yards against the Eagles. The veteran wideout has 32 catches for 290 yards and one touchdown in nine games for the Bears this season. Settling in as a low-end flex in fantasy after a hot start to the year, Raymond will be on bye in Week 10 before a Week 11 matchup against the Saints.

Rome Odunze caught four of his seven targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in a 27-24 win over the Buccaneers in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact: Odunze found the end zone for the first time all year on a nine-yard pass from Caleb Williams in the first quarter. The veteran wideout has now caught 32 passes for 528 yards in nine games. He will be on bye in Week 10 before taking on the Saints in Week 11.

Luther Burden III caught seven of his nine targets for 97 yards and a touchdown in a 27-24 win over the Buccaneers in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact: Burden also took a hit to the head and lost a fumble on the play late in the fourth quarter. He was seen walking slowly to the locker room with a towel over his head shortly after, suggesting a potential concussion. The Bears have their bye in Week 10 before a Week 11 matchup vs. the Saints, giving Burden an extra week to heal up. The budding star wideout has scored a touchdown in each of his past three games for the Bears.

Salvon Ahmed carried the ball five times for 25 yards in a 27-24 win over the Buccaneers in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact: Ahmed surprsingly played ahead of Roschon Johnson in the close win. While Kyle Mongangai remains the team's RB2 when healthy, Ahmed is worth monitoring as a potential handcuff option in fantasy as the Bears head into their Week 10 bye.

Roschon Johnson did not receive a touch in a 27-24 win over the Buccaneers in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact: Johnson was active but the Bears went with Salvon Ahmed for their backup RB touches instead of him. The team has yet to offer an explanation as to why this was the case vs. Tampa Bay. No longer worth rostering as a handcuff in fantasy, Johnson will head into his bye in Week 10.

D'Andre Swift carried the ball 12 times for 31 yards and failed to catch his lone target in a 27-24 win over the Buccaneers in Week 9.

Fantasy Impact: Swift was quiet in the win just one week after scoring three touchdowns. The veteran running back has 576 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns in nine games this season. A strong RB1 in fantasy this season, Swift will be on bye in Week 10 before a Week 11 matchup vs. the Saints.
