Buccaneers | Sterling Shepard should be available Fri Nov 28, 04:17 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 28, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: Shepard looked like he had rewound the clock early this season but hasn't been able to sustain the pace. With Chris Godwin and Cade Otton handling most of the slot work, Shepard has fallen off the fantasy radar. |

Buccaneers | Chris Godwin not on injury report Fri Nov 28, 04:12 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 28, but is not on the injury report for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: Godwin was downgraded from a full participant to limited from Thursday to Friday. Being removed from the injury report, however, likely indicates it was part of his rehab plan. He's had a quiet year after returning from last season's season-ending ankle injury. This fibula issue kept him sidelined for a while, and he only returned last week. He's worth a stash in case he heats up, but it's tough to recommend starting him, as he's averaging just 20.3 receiving yards per game this season. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield questionable Fri Nov 28, 04:11 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 28, but is listed as questionable for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: A DNP to LP to FP is the progression we want to see from a questionable player, and most signs indicate he's trending toward playing. Mayfield has proven tough as nails throughout his career. He left last week's game after attempting a deep heave before halftime, but has since logged a couple of practices and hopes to suit up. The efficiency that fueled his strong fantasy finish last season has unfortunately cratered. He's still worth a look in two-quarterback and superflex leagues, but in single-quarterback formats, he's just a back-end streamer for now. |

Buccaneers | Bucky Irving questionable for Week 13 Fri Nov 28, 03:57 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 28, but is listed as questionable for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: Irving has reportedly been dealing with more than just physical injuries. He's practiced in full all week and is expected to be ready to go. If active, he may be eased back into his role, slotting him as a back-end RB2. Fantasy managers who have leaned on Rachaad White and Sean Tucker would be wise to take a wait-and-see approach for Week 13. The workload has swung between the two in Irving's absence, and it's unclear who will handle the relief work once he returns. While expectations are that he'll return, it's not a certainty. Luckily, most Irving managers have already had most of the season to find another starter if Irving can't go. |
Buccaneers | Chris Godwin limited in practice Thu Nov 27, 03:39 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) was limited in practice on Thursday, Nov. 27.
| Footballguys view: The plan is for Godwin's workload to be ramped up. Godwin caught 2-of-4 targets for nine yards in the Buccaneers' Week 12 loss to the Rams. With a larger role in Week 13, Godwin has flex appeal for Fantasy GMs. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield working his way back Thu Nov 27, 03:37 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) was limited in practice on Thursday, Nov. 27.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield's shoulder injury is something he could play through, but he's going to have to tolerate some pain. The Buccaneers could turn to Teddy Bridgewater as their starter if Mayfield can't play in Week 13. |

Buccaneers | Tampa Bay's quarterback situation remains fluid Wed Nov 26, 01:20 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Teddy Bridgewater will get most of the starting reps in practice ahead of Week 13, but QB Baker Mayfield remains in play to start.
| Footballguys view: Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles admitted the team would have to change their offense if/when Bridgewater starts. Mayfield has a painful shoulder injury he's trying to work through. We'll know more about his status later in the week, but right now it looks like Bridgewater should be the starter. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield's status uncertain for Week 13 Tue Nov 25, 12:39 AM
Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield's (shoulder) MRI only showed an AC joint sprain, but his status for Week 13 is still uncertain.
| Footballguys view: While Mayfield's status for Sunday's game against the Cardinals remains uncertain, there are no long-term injury concerns. Bowles said earlier Monday that losing Mayfield would be a "big loss." Teddy Bridgewater is standing by, but the sprain is said to be low-grade and Mayfield has never missed a start in his three seasons with the Bucs, starting all 45 regular-season games thus far. The last time he missed a game due to injury was with the Carolina Panthers in 2022, when he suffered a high ankle sprain. We'll be watching for more. |

Buccaneers | Bowles: Bucky Irving on track to return Week 13 Mon Nov 24, 12:52 PM
Todd Bowles said RB Bucky Irving is going to practice all week, and if he's fine on Friday, he will play on Sunday against the Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: Bowles said the same in ruling Irving out for Week 12 last Friday. Irving, who has not played since Week 4 vs. the Eagles due to shoulder and foot injuries, reportedly looked strong at practice last week and might have been able to play against the Rams, but the team decided to hold him out, give him one more week, and have him return next Sunday. |

Buccaneers | Bucs believes Baker Mayfield has an AC sprain; MRI still to come Mon Nov 24, 12:43 PM
Pre-MRI, the Buccaneers believe Baker Mayfield suffered a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: There was no fracture and no structural damage. One source told Schefter the Buccaneers "are not ruling out" Mayfield for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. But today's MRI will tell more. We'll have more when that information is available. |

Buccaneers | Bowles: Baker Mayfield has a shoulder sprain; MRI today Mon Nov 24, 02:41 AM
Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield did not play the second half of Sunday night's loss to the Rams with a left shoulder injury. Head coach Todd Bowles had a minor update on Mayfield in his postgame press conference. "Right now he has a shoulder sprain," Bowles said. "He'll get an MRI tomorrow."
| Footballguys view: Backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater came in and played the second half in relief of Mayfield. He threw his first regular-season passes since the 2022 season. If Mayfield is sidelined for a while, Bowles feels comfortable with Bridgewater behind center. "Very confident in what Teddy can do with a full week of practice," Bowles said, "Taking every snap and every play. We think he'll be fine." The Buccaneers host the Cardinals on Sunday in Week 13. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield sidelined by left shoulder injury in Los Angeles Sun Nov 23, 10:34 PM
The Buccaneers ruled out Baker Mayfield in Sunday night's game against the Rams due to a left shoulder injury.
| Footballguys view: initially characterized as doubtful to return, was in clear pain as the first half ended after taking several hits. A Hail Mary pass to cap the second quarter appeared to leave him in pain as he stayed down for a significant period of time after the play ended. Teddy Bridgewater replaced him. Mayfield finished the first half 9-of-19 for 41 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. He also rushed four times for 19 yards. The Buccaneers play the Cardinals in Week 13. |

Chris Godwin is expected to return soon, adding much-needed reinforcements to this depleted offense. Whether Godwin returns this week or not, Egbuka profiles as a borderline WR1. |

Buccaneers | Bucky Irving will not play in Week 12 Fri Nov 21, 01:26 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) is practicing again Friday, Nov. 21, but will not play.
| Footballguys view: Reporting around Irving has been strange over the last couple of days. National insiders insinuated that his extended absence has been due to mental health struggles, causing panic among fantasy managers. Buccaneers beat reporters have quickly squashed those rumors, offering more context and grace. Fox Sports' Greg Auman said Irving is "in a good place and close to a return to playing." Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud added, "Mentally, Irving struggled with being injured and away from his team for the first time in his career. His personal support system has also been fractured by the loss of family members." Unfortunately, he will not play this week, but hopes to get his mind and body right and return soon. Irving is likely to play again in Week 13. Sean Tucker and Rachaad White should shoulder the load in Week 12, making them both viable flex plays. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (leg) is practicing Friday, Nov. 21.
| Footballguys view: After logging a full practice on Thursday, it's good to see Godwin back on the field Friday. All signs point to a potential Week 12 return. It's reasonable to expect some limitations in his first game back. He's a risky WR4 this week against the Rams, but could provide solid value down the stretch for fantasy managers in need of wide receiver reinforcements. |
