Rotoworld Player News

Zyon McCollum

TB Cornerback #27

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Buccaneers placed CB Zyon McCollum (hip) on injured reserve.

Assuming the Buccaneers do not advance out of the wild card round, this will be a season-ender for McCollum. He started 13 games for the Bucs after signing a three-year extension ahead of the 2025 season. McCollum ends the regular season with a 61.9 PFF coverage grade in 766 defensive snaps, playing roughly equivalent to his 2024 numbers by the same metric.
Devin Culp

TB Tight End #82

Devin Culp caught his lone targets for a six-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers’ Week 15 loss to the Falcons.

With Cade Otton (knee) unavailable, it was Culp who scored the first touchdown of the season for a Tampa Bay tight end. It’s reasonable to wonder if it’ll be the last. Culp has impressive athleticism, but is miles and miles away from fantasy relevancy at this stage of his career.
Jalen McMillan

TB Wide Receiver #11

Jalen McMillan caught 2-of-2 targets for 38 yards in the Buccaneers’ Week 15 loss to the Falcons.

McMillan came mere inches short of turning his first catch of 2025 into a touchdown, but instant replay deemed him to be down inside of the one yard line. The second-year wideout has missed the entirety of the campaign prior to Thursday due to a neck issue, and while there are a lot of bodies to feed in the Tampa Bay offense, it’s worth keeping in mind that McMillan was a significant part of the passing attack in 2025 as a rookie. Still, it’s hard to see him being a fantasy option for the remainder of 2025, and there’s more risk than reward for Week 16 against the Panthers.
Chris Godwin

TB Wide Receiver #14

Chris Godwin caught 4-of-5 targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers’ Week 15 loss to the Falcons.

it was a very quiet day for Godwin, but he was able to not only get into the end zone on a connection with Baker Mayfield, but he also picked up the two-point conversion a play later on a pass from Mayfield. Godwin now has added competition with both Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan back, but he he’s in the WR3 conversation for Week 16 against the Panthers.
Emeka Egbuka

TB Wide Receiver #2

Emeka Egbuka caught 4-of-7 targets for 64 yards in the Buccaneers’ Week 15 loss to the Falcons.

Well, it’s better than the previous two weeks. Egbuka wasn’t great, but he was involved even with Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan returning from injury Thursday. Still, it’s another statline that pales in comparison to what his early success looked like, and it’s fair to wonder if those numbers are going to come again in 2025. The next chance to do so comes in a massive matchup for the Bucs against the Panthers in Week 16.
Sean Tucker

TB Running Back #44

Sean Tucker rushed four times for seven yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers’ Week 15 loss to the Falcons.

Tucker got the scoring started by volturing a touchdown early in the contest. That makes back-to-back games with a trip to paydirt, but it’s also three straight games he hasn’t cleared 30 yards. He’s as touchdown-dependent as you’ll find in the league right now, in terms of offering potential fantasy value. It’s potentially worth noting that Tucker did receive more carries than Rachaad White, as White carried the rock just one time for 20 yards in the loss.
Bucky Irving

TB Running Back #7

Bucky Irving rushed 16 times for 60 yards in the Buccaneers’ Week 15 loss to the Falcons.

Irving also caught one of his three targets and picked up 11 yards. The 23-year-old had some decent runs, but outside of a 16-yard burst he wasn’t able to get into the Atlanta secondary, and he saw Sean Tucker vulture a touchdown from him early in the contest. Irving should see a similar amount of touches in Week 16 against the Panthers.
Mike Evans

TB Wide Receiver #13

Mike Evans caught 6-of-12 targets for 132 yards in the Buccaneers’ Week 15 loss to the Falcons.

It may not have been the most efficient outing for Evans, but when you consider it was the first time on the field for the future Hall of Famer since Week 7, it’s an incredibly impressive performance. The 32-year-old worked the sideline for most of the contest, and showed he’s still as good as it gets at jump balls with a 45-yard snag. Evans is far from a lock to put up these kind of numbers each week, but clearly the connection with Baker Mayfield is going to make these kind of outings possible. The Panthers are next in Week 16.
Baker Mayfield

TB Quarterback #6

Baker Mayfield completed 19-of-34 passes for 277 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the Buccaneers’ 29-28, Week 15 loss to the Falcons.

Mayfield had the majority of his playmakers available for the first time all year, and of course, his first touchdown pass went to Devin Culp. The second went to Chris Godwin to extend the Bucs’ lead to 28-14, but he threw an egregious interception that set up an Atlanta score, and there were several more questionable decisions — and less-than-spectacular throws — that saw Tampa Bay drop another close contest. Mayfield remains a QB1, but the Panthers are a much tougher test than anticipated.
Cade Otton

TB Tight End #88

Buccaneers declared TE Cade Otton, LB SirVocea Dennis, S Tykee Smith, CB Benjamin Morrison, G Elijah Klein, DL Elijah Simmons and QB Connor Bazelak inactive for Week 15 against the Falcons.

Otton is, unfortunately, sidelined by a knee injury. The pass-catching corps gets WR Mike Evans (collarbone) and WR Jalen McMillan (neck) back tonight, though, boosting QB Baker Mayfield’s fantasy-scoring potential. Mayfield will also helpfully have LT Tristan Wirfs (oblique) protecting his blindside this evening.
