Buccaneers' Ted Hurst: Held catchless again
Hurst failed to haul in his lone target during the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
For a third consecutive game, the rookie third-rounder didn't record a catch while seeing only one target. Of more concern was the fact that Hurst was on the field for only one offensive snap in Week 9 after logging at least 25 offensive snaps in each of the first eight games of the regular season. That lack of offensive playing time coincided with the return of Emeka Egbuka, although Hurst also saw less snaps than Chris Godwin (62), Tez Johnson (52) and even David Sills (six), although Sills was cut by the Buccaneers on Tuesday. With the Buccaneers on a bye for Week 10, Hurst will look for better results in Week 11 against the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 22.

Buccaneers' Tez Johnson: Produces 76 yards in SNF loss
Johnson caught two passes for 76 yards on five targets in Sunday night's 27-24 loss to the Bears.
Johnson accounted for the Bucs' longest play of the game, producing a 58-yard catch-and-run to lead the team in receiving yards. Johnson has been working as the Bucs' WR3 behind Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin, with rookie Ted Hurst mixing in for sub-package snaps. Johnson isn't a particularly exciting fantasy bet.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Relegated to special teams again Week 9
Tucker didn't log any offensive snaps in a loss to the Bears on Sunday. He returned four kickoffs for 92 yards.
It was the second straight week in which Tucker went without an offensive snap. That's happened despite Tampa Bay going to the ground plenty during that span. Perhaps not coincidentally, Tucker has begun working as a kick returner during the two-game stretch. It appears he's not going to get many opportunities on offense as long as Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell are healthy.

Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Remains perfect on the season
McLaughlin converted all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Tampa Bay's loss to the Bears on Sunday.
McLaughlin had a solid outing despite the loss, although all three of his field goals came from within 35 yards. Across his first nine outings of the season, the 30-year-old has yet to miss a kick, converting on all 22 field-goal attempts and all 18 extra-point tries.

Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Eight targets in SNF loss
Otton caught four of eight targets for 25 yards in Sunday night's 27-24 loss to the Bears.
The tight end saw a team-high eight targets, drawing a 26.7 percent target share from Baker Mayfield. It still didn't translate into much in the box score, as Otton remains without a touchdown through nine games. He's turned 38 targets into 23 catches for 211 yards this season and is a low-floor fantasy option most weeks.

Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Could have workload managed in second half
Head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that the Buccaneers "will try and lessen the load" on Irving following their Week 10 bye, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Though he hasn't shown any signs of wearing down while he's averaged a healthy 4.9 yards per tote through the Buccaneers' first nine games, Irving has already amassed 167 carries -- fourth-most in the NFL -- and would be on pace for a career-high 315 over the course of a 17-game schedule. Given the success they've found on the ground in recent weeks, the Buccaneers could continue to embrace a run-first attack, but expect Irving to cede a bit more work to backups Kenny Gainwell and Sean Tucker as Tampa Bay aims to keep their top back healthy for the long haul.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Unlikely to be ready after Week 10 bye
Head coach Todd Bowles suggested Monday that McMillan (knee) isn't likely to immediately return to action following the Buccaneers' Week 10 bye, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
While Bowles indicated that linebacker Yaya Diaby (knee) has decent odds of playing in the Buccaneers' next game Nov. 22 versus the Lions, the coach was less optimistic about McMillan's chances of being ready to play in Week 11. The Buccaneers have yet to open McMillan's 21-day practice window, after he was placed on injured reserve Sept. 30 due to a PCL sprain in his left knee, which was an aggravation of a previous injury. Bowles noted that McMillan underwent a medical procedure on the knee shortly after landing on IR and is still dealing with some discomfort.

Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Two catches during SNF
Godwin caught two of three targets for 16 yards and added a 12-yard rush during Sunday night's 27-24 loss to the Bears.
Godwin has now gone back-to-back weeks without reeling in at least three passes after having done so in each of Tampa Bay's first seven contests this year. The wide receiver has yet to exceed 50 receiving yards or reach the end zone over nine games so far during the 2026 campaign, and he will remain an unappealing fantasy option when the Buccaneers return to action in Week 11 against the Lions.

Buccaneers' Kenny Gainwell: Has 304 yards in last three games
Gainwell rushed five times for 16 yards and caught all three of his targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Bears.
Most of Gainwell's 76 scrimmage yards came on a 44-yard catch. He has 304 scrimmage yards over the past three games after recording just 122 scrimmage yards across his first six outings for the Buccaneers. Bucky Irving rushed for two touchdowns Sunday and remains the top option in Tampa Bay's backfield, but Gainwell has started to make the most of his change-of-pace role in the Buccaneers' run-heavy offense. Gainwell will try to pick up where he left off in Week 11 against the Lions after a Week 10 bye.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Season-high 243 yards but two INTs
Mayfield completed 18 of 32 passes for 243 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Bears. He also rushed once for no gain and ran in a two-point conversion.
Mayfield notched a season high in passing yards after finishing Tampa Bay's previous game without a completed pass, but he also threw multiple interceptions for the first time in six starts this season. He put forth a gutsy performance, getting back up from several big hits and scoring the game-tying two-point conversion with his legs to cap Tampa Bay's final drive, only for Chicago to kick a game-winning field goal on the ensuing possession. The struggling QB has taken a back seat to the Buccaneers' Bucky Irving-led running game in recent weeks, and Mayfield has an ugly 3:4 TD:INT heading into Tampa Bay's Week 10 bye. After the bye, Mayfield will have a chance to pick up the pace in Week 11 against Detroit's vulnerable secondary.

Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Three catches in return
Egbuka (foot) caught three of five targets for 38 yards and added a one-yard run in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Bears.
Egbuka returned from a two-game absence during which he was in concussion protocol in addition to dealing with a foot injury. He tied for second on the team in targets behind Cade Otton's eight and finished third in receiving yards behind Tez Johnson (76) and Kenny Gainwell (60), as Baker Mayfield spread the ball around to complement Bucky Irving's two-touchdown effort on the ground. Egbuka hasn't exceeded 63 yards in seven appearances this season heading into Tampa Bay's Week 10 bye.

Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Stays hot with two TDs in Week 9 loss
Irving rushed 20 times for 97 yards and two touchdowns while catching four of five targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Bears.
Irving kept rolling against Chicago's stout run defense, notching his sixth and seventh touchdowns over the past five games on a two-yard run in the third quarter and a six-yard run in the fourth. His second TD and Baker Mayfield's ensuing two-point conversion tied the score at 24-24 with 2:51 remaining, but Chicago answered with a field goal on the game's final play to drop Tampa Bay to 3-6. Irving has 629 scrimmage yards during his five-game heater, 584 of which have come on the ground. With a Week 10 bye to freshen up after handling at least 21 touches in five consecutive games, Irving should reprise his role as the focal point of Tampa Bay's run-heavy offense in Week 11 against the Lions.

Buccaneers' Antoine Winfield: Done for night
Winfield (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's contest against the Bears.
Winfield sustained an ankle injury late in the first half, and his night has now officially come to a premature end. With Winfield unavailable, Ifeatu Melifonwu will continue to operate as one of Tampa Bay's primary safeties versus Chicago.

Buccaneers' Antoine Winfield: Nursing ankle injury
Winfield (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest versus Chicago, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Winfield suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter, and his availability for the rest of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Ifeatu Melifonwu will stand to operate in a more substantial role in Tampa Bay's secondary.
