The Buccaneers are hiring Zac Robinson as their new OC, "with a big push" from QB Baker Mayfield, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Mayfield worked with Robinson during his six-week stint with the Rams in 2022. Robinson spent five seasons working under Sean McVay in Los Angeles before serving as Falcons OC for the last two. Atlanta ranked sixth in yards and 13th in points in Robinson's debut, before falling to 14th in yards and 24th in points this past year. Both of Robinson's Falcons offenses ranked higher in rush attempts than pass attempts. Expect him to bring a balanced attack to Tampa Bay. Considering Mayfield's hand in the hiring, though, consider the move good news for the QB's chances of a bounce-back 2026.

The Buccaneers have fired OC Josh Grizzard, according to multiple reports. Grizzard spent just one season piloting the Tampa Bay offense after joining the team as pass-game coordinator in 2024. He spent seven years on the Dolphins offensive staff before that, working under head coaches Adam Gase, Brian Flores, and Mike McDaniel. Next season will mark the fifth time in five years under HC Todd Bowles that the Bucs have sported a different OC.

Bucs WR Chris Godwin racked up 7 catches, 108 yards, and 1 TD in Sunday's loss vs. Miami. The veteran ranked second on the team in targets (8) beyond only Jalen McMillan.

Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles said Wednesday morning that WR Mike Evans (collarbone) has shown everything he's needed to show in practice to be activated for Thursday night's game vs. the Falcons. We'll see how he's listed on the final injury report later today, but we're now projecting Evans to play in this one. OC Josh Grizzard said last week that Evans would likely be on a snap count in his first game back, so don't expect his usual level of playing time against Atlanta. That said, we'd expect to see him on the field in high-leverage situations, particularly near the end zone. You'd ideally wait a week before getting Evans back in fantasy lineups, but he's at least in the WR3/4 mix based on his TD upside. Consider Evans' return a slight ding to WR Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin's outlooks.

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka posted 2-15-0 in the loss to the Saints. Egbuka led the team with 10 targets with Chris Godwin coming in second with 7 targets. Godwin now has led the team in receiving for the second straight week going 5-55-0. QB Baker Mayfield’s inaccurate passes toward Egbuka didn’t help with the output. With WRs Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan set to return soon, targets may be spread even thinner.

Buccaneers WRs Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck) won't play vs. the Saints this weekend, HC Todd Bowles said Friday. Both WRs returned to practice this week and should have a chance to play vs. the Falcons next weekend. Evans is worth stashing in all fantasy leagues. But Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin will again operate as Tampa Bay's top two WRs against New Orleans on Sunday.

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin caught three balls for a team-high 78 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. He saw just five targets on a modest passing day, accounting for 19.2% of QB Baker Mayfield's targeted throws. Godwin tied for second on the team in receptions (trailing Emeka Egbuka by one) and played a larger role than in his Week 12 return from injury.

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Rams. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported this morning that Godwin will likely be on a snap count in his first action since Week 5. He’s a shaky fantasy bet.

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) is expected to play vs. the Rams tonight. HC Todd Bowles said that'd likely be the case on Friday. We don't know whether Godwin will play a full slate of snaps in his first action since Week 5, though. Try to leave him on fantasy benches. Godwin's return makes WRs Tez Johnson and Sterling Shepard much shakier fantasy bets. Check your Team Dashboard to see if any of these guys make sense in your starting lineup.

Update: ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Bucs "will be mindful" of Godwin's workload tonight. "Will likely be on something of a pitch count," Fowler adds.

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) is questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Rams. He was limited in Wednesday’s practice, full on Thursday, and limited again on Friday. HC Todd Bowles said Friday that Godwin is trending toward playing against the Rams. But he’d be a shaky fantasy play in his first action since Week 5. Godwin posted identical 3-26-0 lines in his only two games of the season.

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. That should have him on track to play vs. the Rams on Sunday night. We wouldn't trust Godwin in fantasy lineups in his first action since Week 5 -- and just his third game of the season. But his return makes WR Tez Johnson a much shakier fantasy play.

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) remained limited in Wednesday's practice. It's unclear if he'll make it back for Sunday night's game vs. the Rams. Godwin shouldn't be in your Week 12 fantasy plans, but his return would make WR Tez Johnson a shakier play.

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bills. He was limited in practice all week, potentially setting him up for a Week 12 return. Godwin’s absence this weekend keeps WR Tez Johnson and TE Cade Otton in play as low-end fantasy starters.

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) got in a practice limited on Wednesday -- his first since going down in Week 5. "Godwin is working his way back," HC Todd Bowles said. "He’s making good strides." We'll see if Godwin is able to play vs. the Bills this weekend. He wouldn't be a recommended fantasy start coming off the lengthy absence, but he'd add risk to WR Tez Johnson's fantasy outlook.

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said on Thursday that Godwin could be out until "late-November or December." Emeka Egbuka, Tez Johnson, and Sterling Shepard will again operate as Tampa Bay's top three WRs this weekend.
