Fantasy Impact: Irving spent the majority of the fourth quarter on Sunday on the sideline. It was unclear if it was related to an injury, but it appears it wasn't. He should be back in his lead role in Week 4.

Fantasy Impact: Daniels, an undrafted rookie out of Kansas, is set to be Tampa Bay's starting quarterback with Baker Mayfield (thumb) expected to miss a minimum of three weeks. He is unlikely to have any fantasy value himself, and it remains to be seen if he will play well enough to support the fantasy value of Bucky Irving and Emeka Egbuka over the next few weeks, but he will have a good opportunity to prove himself in an easy matchup against Green Bay's struggling defense in Week 4.

Fantasy Impact: Mayfield underwent an MRI on his thumb after Sunday's loss to the Vikings, and the results indicated that he will need to miss around three weeks while he recovers. The team is going to start undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels in his absence, which is likely bad news for the fantasy value of Emeka Egbuka, Bucky Irving, and Tampa Bay's entire offense for the next few weeks.

The Buccaneers D/ST allowed 23 points on 230 total yards with an interception and three sacks on Sunday against the Vikings.

Cade Otton caught 3-of-6 targets for 56 yards in the Buccaneers 23-16 loss against the Vikings on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Otton was second on the team in targets on the day. He has seen at least five targets in all three weeks to start the season. He'll remain a high floor tight end play next week against the Packers.

Ted Hurst III caught 1-of-4 targets for 40 yards receiving and a touchdown in the Buccaneers 23-16 loss against the Vikings on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Hurst caught a 40-yard deep ball from Baker Mayfield in the first half for a score. It was his lone catch on the day. The status of Mayfield will need to be monitored after he left late in the loss.

Chris Godwin Jr. caught 3-of-4 targets for 25 yards in the Buccaneers 23-16 loss against the Vikings on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Godwin continues to not be able to make a huge impact on the field. With Baker Mayfield also dislocating his thumb late in the loss, Godwin will be tough to trust in lineups based on his slow start to the season.

Emeka Egbuka caught 5-of-9 targets for 62 yards in the Buccaneers 23-16 loss against the Vikings on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Egbuka was the leading receiver for Tampa Bay on the day. He has still yet to have one of his huge explosive games. The status of Baker Mayfield will need to be monitored after he left the game late with a dislocated thumb.

Kenny Gainwell ran for -4 yards on three carries in the Buccaneers 23-16 loss against the Vikings on Sunday. He also caught 2-of-5 targets for 14 yards receiving.

Fantasy Impact: Gainwell was once again not involved much. It is worth noting Bucky Irving was on the sideline for most of the final quarter. The status of Irving will need to be monitored this week.
