Fantasy Impact: Davis missed the past two games for the Buccaneers. This return to practice puts him on track to have a chance of returning this week.

Fantasy Impact: Dean left Monday's game against the Eagles twice. His status at practice will be worth monitoring on Thursday and Friday.

Rachaad White rushed for 38 yards on 14 carries in the Bucs 25-11 loss to the Eagles. He also caught 3-of-3 targets for 24 yards through the air.

Fantasy Impact: White failed to reach the endzone and lost a fumble in the loss, making for an overall disappointing fantasy day. He's getting the volume we like to see for a feature back, but the production is not showing up. But unless they make a move or Sean Tucker improves, it's White's job for the time being.

Chris Godwin caught 3-of-5 targets for 32 yards in the Buccaneers' 25-11 loss to the Eagles on Monday night.

Fantasy Impact: Godwin has taken a back seat to Mike Evans so far in 2023 in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. He will have his games but it looks like quarterback Baker Mayfield will feed Evans over Godwin more often than not. Until he sees more work, Godwin is a fringe WR3 at best for fantasy.

Mike Evans caught 5-of-10 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Tampa's 25-11 loss to Philadelphia on Monday night.

Fantasy Impact: Evans has caught a touchdown pass in every game this year. The streak isn't likely to continue, but Evans has scored touchdowns at a high rate throughout his career and it's looking like we can at least expect that to be a thing once again in 2023. He's a rock-solid WR2 for now with WR1 upside.

Baker Mayfield completed 15-of-25 passes for 146 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Bucs' 25-11 loss to the Eagles on Monday night.

Fantasy Impact: Surprisingly, Mayfield's number was not called as much as one would think given the Bucs' were down for the majority of the game. Unfortunately, Baker just couldn't get into much of a rhythm until toward the end of the game, completing a short touchdown pass to Mike Evans on a drive that saw him string together some good passes. He regressed from his first two weeks, but he's still in the streaming category going forward in the right matchup.

Tampa RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn, who has yet to be active this season, is expected to be active for the Bucs' MNF game vs. Philadelphia. (Source: Jeremy Fowler on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Vaughn appeared in 15 games a season ago, only managing 72 scrimmage yards on very limited work. With Chase Edmonds landing on the IR, Vaughn will get another chance to suit up behind starter Rachaad White and backup Sean Tucker.

Fantasy Impact: Edmonds suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, so the move to IR is not a surprise. Fantasy managers should expect Sean Tucker and Ke’Shawn Vaughn to see touches behind starter Rachaad White.

Chase McLaughlin made two out of his three field-goal attempts and made all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Chicago Bears.

Fantasy Impact: McLaughlin missed one kick, but other than that, he was perfect on Sunday. He ended the day with nine points, which gave him a solid outing for fantasy purposes. The Buccaneers play a tough Eagles' defense in Week 3, so they might not get in scoring range enough to make him a good start next week.

The Bucs' D/ST was stellar in a Week 2 win, snagging two interceptions, logging six sacks, and scoring one touchdown against the Bears.

Fantasy Impact: Tampa Bay's defense looked great in Week 2. They had QB Justin Fields bottled up all day and forced him to throw two picks, one of which they returned for a touchdown. This could've been the product of a favorable matchup, but they still looked good and can be started in good matchups moving forward.

In Week 2's clash between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Chicago Bears, young wide receiver Trey Palmer had a quiet performance.

Fantasy Impact: The 22-year-old was targeted twice, managing to reel in one of those for a 20-yard gain. While he didn't find the end zone this week, his contribution helped the Bucs secure a 27-17 victory over the Bears. Palmer's season stats now stand at 5 targets, 3 receptions, and 28 receiving yards with a single touchdown. Despite a modest weekly ranking of WR85, his season-long rank of WR62 shows promise. With the Philadelphia Eagles up next, the rookie will be looking to make a bigger impact and climb up those fantasy rankings.

In a game where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers sailed to a 27-17 victory over the Chicago Bears, 24-year-old tight end Cade Otton proved to be a reliable target for his quarterback.

Fantasy Impact: Otton was targeted six times and made good on all six, racking up 41 receiving yards in the process. While he didn't find the end zone, his consistent hands and ability to move the chains were instrumental in the Bucs' win. His performance this week solidifies his standing as TE15 in weekly fantasy rankings and TE17 for the season. Otton's season stats now stand at 8 receptions on 9 targets for 60 yards, still hunting for his first touchdown. Looking ahead to Week 3, Otton and the Bucs will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles, where he'll look to continue his consistent play and perhaps find that elusive end zone.

Despite the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 27-17 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 2, running back Sean Tucker struggled to find his footing, managing a mere 7 yards on 8 carries.

Fantasy Impact: The 21-year-old back, currently ranked RB61 for the week and RB55 for the season, was consistently shut down by the Bears' defense, with his longest run of the day being a 7-yard gain in the third quarter. Tucker's lack of involvement in the passing game also continued, with zero targets or receptions to his name. His season stats now stand at 22 rushing yards on 13 carries, with 9 receiving yards on 2 receptions. Looking ahead to Week 3, Tucker and the Bucs will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles, but there isn't a lot of hype surrounding the rookie's fantasy value for the time being.

Calijah Kancey (calf) "still has a chance to play" in Week 1 according to Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles. (Source: Brianna Dix on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: When asked about Kancey, Bowles went on to say, "We are not ruling him out." Kancey originally suffered his calf injury in late July. The first-round rookie's status for Week 1 should be made more clear in the next day or two.

According to Greg Auman of FOX Sports, undrafted WR Rakim Jarrett is expected to make the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' initial 53-man roster. (Source: Greg Auman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Jarrett went undrafted out of Maryland after having a down season in 2022. In his sophomore year, though, Jarrett caught 62 passes for 829 yards and five touchdowns. During the preseason, he caught seven passes for 132 yards. He could be a depth option in the short term with intriguing long-term upside.

The Buccaneers are releasing QB John Wolford. (Source: Rick Stroud on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Wolford was in competition to be the Bucs QB3 but was not able to showcase enough during training camp to make the 53-man roster. He will now look to add quarterback depth for another organization.

Unfortunately, Ryan Jensen will be watching all of the 2023 season from the sideline on IR due to a knee injury. (Source: Ari Meirov from Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: In their Super Bowl run in 2020 and their playoff run in 2021, Jensen was a key part of the Buccanneers' offense. He plays a vital role not only in this offense but also in this team as a veteran leader. The 32-year-old is still a captain of the Bucs' team and will definitely be missed on the offensive line this year.

David Moore could see an increased role after Russell Gage suffered a torn ACL in a joint practice Wednesday. (Source: Ryan Glasspiegel from NY Post)

Fantasy Impact: Moore signed with the Bucs in the offseason making this his fourth team since 2020. He will work in the slot under Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. If one of those goes down, we could see a growth in targets for Moore. Moore should be a guy to keep tabs on throughout the season and should be a late pickup in deeper leagues.
