Player Outlook
The Buccaneers averaged the 20th-most Fantasy points per game in 2022 after taking a step back. Adding a pass rusher with their first-round pick in Calijah Kancey should help, but the Buccaneers project as a team you're better off waiting to scoop up off the waiver wire for the right matchups.

  • Buccaneers' Carlton Davis: Designated as questionable

    Rotowire
    Davis (toe) has drawn a questionable tag ahead of Monday's matchup with the Saints. After logging a full practice session Thursday, Davis regressed to a limited workload to close out the week. It is unclear if he suffered a setback or if the Bucs are simply erring on the side of caution. More clarity on his status is unlikely to be gained until Sunday morning. With Jamel Dean (neck) already ruled out, Tampa could be stretched thin at cornerback if Davis cannot go.

  • Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Out Week 4

    Rotowire
    Dean (neck) will not play in Sunday's contest against the Saints. Dean was a non-participant at practice all week, so this is not a surprising turn of events. He injured his neck earlier in the week on Monday Night Football and will now focus on recovering for Week 5. In his absence, both Christian Izien and Zyon McCollum are candidates to see increased snaps at corner.

  • Buccaneers' Devin White: Listed as questionable

    Rotowire
    White (foot) is considered questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Saints. After being a non-participant to kick off the week, White has practiced in limited fashion the last two days. Thus, he is looking like a true game-time decision. If he ultimately does not suit up, look for K.J. Britt to fill in at inside linebacker alongside Lavonte David.

  • Buccaneers' Vita Vea: Gets questionable tag

    Rotowire
    Vea (pectoral) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game in New Orleans. Vea logged a limited practice Friday after being a non-participant for consecutive days to start the week, so that is a positive sign regarding his status. Still, if he plays or not will presumably depend on how he is feeling closer to kickoff. Greg Gaines would be the likely candidate to replace him at nose tackle if he fails to get the green light.

  • Buccaneers' Derrek Pitts: Won't play at the Saints

    Rotowire
    Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Pitts (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. For the second time in four games, Pitts will sit out in Week 4 as he works through an injury. Tampa Bay's secondary is riddled with health issues and could be vulnerable even against Jameis Winston.

  • Buccaneers' SirVocea Dennis: Won't play at New Orleans

    Rotowire
    Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Dennis (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game at the Saints, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. For the third straight week, Dennis will watch from the sidelines as he recovers from a lingering hamstring injury. He doesn't leave a ton of slack in terms of playing time, but what little there is figures to go mostly to 2021 fifth-rounder K.J. Britt.

  • Buccaneers' Calijah Kancey: Will miss another game

    Rotowire
    Kancey (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Saints, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. Kancey played 11 defensive snaps in Week 1 against the Vikings before getting hurt, and he's been sidelined ever since. Logan Hall, Mike Greene, Vita Vea and Greg Gaines should see most of the snaps on coach Todd Bowles' defensive line versus New Orleans. The Bucs have a Week 5 bye, so Kancey will hope to return after that.

  • Buccaneers' Carlton Davis: Participates in full

    Rotowire
    Davis (toe) was a full participant at Thursday's practice. It seems as if Tampa Bay's top corner has moved past his toe issue after participating in a limited fashion during Wednesday's practice following a second consecutive absence in Monday night's Week 3 loss to the Eagles. Davis will help solidify a secondary that could be without cornerback Jamel Dean (neck) this coming Sunday against the Saints.

  • Buccaneers' Derrek Pitts: Unavailable for walkthrough

    Rotowire
    Pitts (undisclosed) was estimated as a non-participant at the Buccaneers' walkthrough Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Pitts logged 18 defensive snaps in the team's loss to the Eagles on Monday, recording two tackles. With Jamel Dean (shoulder) also considered a non-participant at the walk-through, Tampa Bay could be thin in the secondary Sunday versus the Saints.

  • Buccaneers' Zyon McCollum: Productive with elevated snaps

    Rotowire
    McCollum recorded six tackles (four solo) and one defensed pass in the Buccaneers' 25-11 loss to the Eagles on Monday night. McCollum played on all 80 defensive snaps with Carlton Davis (toe) sidelined and Jamel Dean exiting with neck and shoulder injuries after 38 snaps. The speedy McCollum acquitted himself well overall, and with Dean failing to practice Wednesday, the former could be trusted with a starting assignment in what profiles as a tough Week 4 road matchup versus the Saints' talented group of receivers.

  • Buccaneers' Christian Izien: Stellar tackling night Monday

    Rotowire
    Izien recorded eight tackles (six solo) in the Buccaneers' 25-11 loss to the Eagles on Monday night. Izien logged 39 snaps overall while Carlton Davis (toe) missed a second straight game and Jamel Dean exited early with a shoulder injury. Izien recorded the best tackle total of his young career in the process, helping offset the fact he failed to get his hands on the ball for the first time as a pro after tallying a pair of interceptions in his first two contests. Even when the secondary is at full health, Izien should continue to enjoy a robust role considering his slot cornerback duties and ability to rotate in at safety if necessary.

  • Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Misses walk-through Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Dean (neck/shoulder) did not participate at the Buccaneers' walk-through Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Dean exited the team's Week 3 loss to the Eagles early with a shoulder injury in the first half and he remained unavailable on Tampa Bay's estimated injury report. The cornerback will have two more chances to return to the field prior to the Buccaneers' divisional matchup with the Saints on Sunday.

  • Buccaneers' Devin White: Unavailable for walkthrough

    Rotowire
    White (foot) was considered a non-participant for the Buccaneers' walkthrough Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. White played 95 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Monday's 25-11 loss to the Eagles and it's possible that the linebacker was just given a day off Wednesday. More information on his status will come following Thursday's practice.

  • Buccaneers' Vita Vea: Misses walk-through Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Vea (pectoral) missed the Buccaneers' walk-through Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Vea popped up on Tampa Bay's injury report Wednesday with the pec injury he's been dealing with recently. Considering he was able to play in Monday's loss to the Eagles, the nose tackle seems likely to be able to go again in Week 4 versus the Saints.

  • Buccaneers' Antoine Winfield: Productive in loss

    Rotowire
    Winfield logged 11 tackles (five solo) in Monday's 25-11 loss to the Eagles. Winfield's tackle total was the most he has recorded through three games this season. He also saw the field for all 78 defensive snaps, which makes it back-to-back contests in which he's played every defensive snap. The safety will look to stay active in Week 4 when the Bucs head to New Orleans.

  • Buccaneers' Ryan Neal: Logs 11 tackles in loss

    Rotowire
    Neal recorded 11 tackles (six solo) in Monday's 25-11 loss to the Eagles. Neal's 11 tackles were his highest total of the young-season. He has now seen an increase in each of the first three games. The safety saw 77 defensive snaps out of 78. He has only missed one snap this season.

  • Buccaneers' Devin White: Snags pick in loss

    Rotowire
    White logged seven tackles (five solo) and one interception in Monday's 25-11 loss to the Eagles. White bounced back from a rough Week 2 performance by recording his first interception of the season. He remained a reliable member of the defense by being on the field for 74 defensive snaps (95 percent). The linebacker will now look to carry that momentum into Sunday's game in New Orleans.

  • Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Big game in loss

    Rotowire
    David logged 13 tackles (nine solo) ane one sack in Monday's 25-11 loss to the Eagles. David's 13 tackles were good enough for a game-high, and his sack was the first he tallied through three games. He was on the field for all 78 snaps, which makes it back-to-back games without him missing one. The star linebacker will look to continue producing at a high level in Week 4 in New Orleans.

  • Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Done for the night

    Rotowire
    Dean (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's contest with the Eagles. Dean suffered a shoulder injury in the first half and he ultimately will end up remaining on the sideline for the rest of the game. More information on his status will likely come in the postgame.

  • Buccaneers' Jamel Dean: Suffers shoulder injury

    Rotowire
    Dean (shoulder) is questionable to return to Monday's contest with the Eagles. Dean went down with a shoulder injury in the first half versus the Eagles, returned to the game, and has now exited once again. At this point, it seems unlikely the cornerback will be back on the field Monday night.
