Huddle Up: Hurst brings an intriguing combination of size and speed, but even with the departure of Mike Evans, there is still a decent amount of depth in the Tampa Bay receiving room. Hurst's upside is real, but he is more of a stash option in dynasty formats.

Huddle Up: Tucker will likely be behind Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell on the depth chart next season but may see a handful of touches each game. He can probably be avoided in fantasy leagues unless Irving or Gainwell suffers an injury during the season.

Huddle Up: Gainwell is unlikely to start with Bucky Irving on the roster, but he should have a good role in both the running and passing game. He is coming off a terrific 2025 season and can be a No. 3 running back in some fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: After four games where Browning completed 64.5% of his passes and had a 6:8 touchdown-to-interception ratio, the Bengals acquired veteran Joe Flacco. That was it for Browning's 2025 save for one 14-yard completion in Week 12. Strictly a backup quarterback at this stage of his career, Browning will now presumably hold a clipboard for Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers in 2026. That doesn't make Browning fantasy relevant, so he can be safely ignored.

Huddle Up: Gainwell will share playing time with Bucky Irving in 2026 and should have a role in the passing game. He will be a valuable option in fantasy leagues and can be a No. 3 or No. 4 running back for players.

Huddle Up: Otton has been an every-down tight end for the Buccaneers over the last few seasons, and he'll remain with Tampa Bay after agreeing to terms on a new deal. With a 59-catch, 572-yard campaign in 2025, Otton's fantasy production has largely come when some of the Buccaneers' stars have been hurt. Otton tends to fade into the background at times, but ultimately, he's a low-ceiling TE2 for fantasy football in 2026 as he remains with the Buccaneers.

Huddle Up: Although Bhayshul Tuten will likely have an opportunity to lead the backfield if Etienne signs elsewhere, it would make sense for the Jaguars to add a veteran back, especially one with the receiving skills of Gainwell.

Huddle Up: Egbuka faded after a strong start to his rookie campaign, but injuries to the Tampa Bay receiving corps and an injury to Baker Mayfield likely didn't help matters. He still finished with 938 yards and six touchdowns, and he should enter 2026 as a WR3 with upside.

Huddle Up: Otton's production has fluctuated from one game to the next in Tampa Bay, but when injuries have thrust him into a bigger role, he has flashed his upside. If he lands in a offense that features him more consistently, Otton could be in the TE1 mix in deeper leagues in 2026.

Huddle Up: Tucker is coming off a seven-touchdown season in 2025 and should probably receive some interest from teams in free agency. He could have some fantasy value depending on his role with his next season but is unlikely to be a weekly starting option in leagues.

Huddle Up: Gainwell became a dynamic piece on the Pittsburgh offense in 2026 and accumulated 1,023 total yards and eight touchdowns. His coming back to the Steelers would mean he would likely fill the same role he had, which would make him an interesting flex option for the 2026 season.

Huddle Up: Culp had five receptions for 88 yards in 2024, and just one grab for six yards in 2025, so there hasn't been a lot of work for Culp in the past. But, if Otton moves on, the third-year tight end could emerge as a deep sleeper in fantasy leagues heading into 2026. The tight end has been a big part of the offense in Tampa, from Otton to Cameron Brate, O.J. Howard, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Jerramy Stevens, Luke Stocker and Todd Yoder in recent decades. The team has an in-house candidate if Otton is allowed to walk, but will it use Culp, or bring in a veteran via free agency or add a player in the draft. File away Culp's name, and follow the situation closely.

Huddle Up: Egbuka had a successful rookie campaign with a 63-938-6 line on 130 targets, but it took a lot of volume to get to that respectable line. Baker Mayfield's shoulder injury, which he suffered against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12, didn't help matters either. Mayfield ultimately played through it and reduced the passing game's output. As for Egbuka, he caught just 35-of-86 targets (40.7%) up to Week 12 and 18-of-44 targets (41%) from Week 12 onwards, so it really just could be a connection issue for the quarterback and receiver. Looking to 2026, Egbuka remains a very good breakout candidate and a worthwhile WR3 candidate for fantasy rosters, especially if Mike Evans leaves Tampa Bay in free agency.

Huddle Up: Rachaad White is expected to exit the team via free agency, so Irving should be in line to enter the offseason as the No. 1 tailback in Tampa. However, expect the Bucs to make a run at a tailback either in the aforementioned draft, or via free agency, as Irving spent a ton of time banged up in 2025. If he is healthy, and he carves out a huge chunk of the backfield work for himself, he should cautiously be approached as a low-end RB2 or flex fantasy option in 2026. He could be a high-risk, high-reward option.

Huddle Up: With Rachaad White being a free agent, the passing role out of the Bucs backfield is open for Irving to capture. If Robinson gets him more involved in that area, he can have the potential to be an RB1, but at the very least a stable RB2 in 2026.

Huddle Up: Mayfield saw a drop in his production compared to last season but was without at least one of his receivers for most of the season. There is a good chance that he will be able to have more success next season but will likely be a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Gainwell was Aaron Rodgers' most popular target on Sunday night, and his work after the catch helped keep the offense moving. The team's decision to get Gainwell more involved on offense was critical to their improvement late in the year, and he should be heavily involved as a check-down target in an effort to blunt the Texans' pass rush. Gainwell would be a nice flex play during the Wild Card round for DFS players.

Huddle Up: McMillan was coming off a 114-yard performance in Week 17, but like the rest of the Tampa Bay receivers, he was the victim of a run-heavy approach in the finale. McMillan lost most of his season to a scary neck injury, and with Chris Godwin now healthy and the emergence of Emeka Egbuka, he faces plenty of competition for targets moving forward.

Huddle Up: A scorching hot start to his rookie rear gave way to a quiet finish, and whether it was opponents adjusting or Egbuka hitting a rookie wall, he simply wasn't the same level of performer over the final few weeks of the year. Still, Egbuka flashed enough upside to be in the WR3 mix entering 2026.

Huddle Up: Don't read too much into Godwin's one-catch performance. Baker Mayfield attempted just 22 passes overall, and no wide receiver caught more than two passes. Godwin had some solid performances after returning from injury, and if he can stay healthy entering 2026, he could move back into the WR3 mix.

Huddle Up: Otton had become a forgotten man in the offense in recent weeks, but in a must-win game, he led the team in catches, targets and receiving yards. Otton has flashed TE1 upside at times this year, but a lack of consistency makes him more of a streaming option than a weekly starter.

Huddle Up: Tucker's touches dwindled after the return of Bucky Irving, but he did emerge as an occasional option near the goal line. With his value hinging almost entirely on touchdowns, Tucker became more of a hinderance to the fantasy upside of Bucky Irving than an asset in his own right.

Huddle Up: It wasn't an efficient performance for Irving, but he did log a season high in carries and rushing yards. Injuries derailed Irving's second season, but he saw plenty of touches when healthy. Irving should enter next season as a RB2 with RB1 upside.

Huddle Up: The Buccaneers kept their postseason hopes alive with the win, but it was Mayfield's least productive regular season in terms of counting stats since joining Tampa Bay. Granted, the Buccaneers dealt with a lot of injuries on the offensive side of the ball, but Mayfield looks more like a QB2 heading into 2026.

Huddle Up: Godwin is good to go. Fantasy managers can safely keep him in their lineup for Week 18, if your league has its championship game then. He is also a solid play in DFS.

Huddle Up: Mayfield was expected to play in Week 18 all along. His practice in full confirms that, but he may want to be avoided in Week 18 due to his current stretch of performances he is on.

Huddle Up: Mayfield started out the season at an MVP pace and was a reliable QB1. Over recent weeks, he has been banged up, and as a result, his production has dipped. In 2026, fantasy players can have renewed hope in his potential due to the weapons around him in the Bucs' offense.

Huddle Up: Otton recorded his most receiving yards since Week 10, and while he is a safe bet for a couple of catches per game, the yardage totals typically leave a lot to be desired. Throw in the fact that Tampa Bay's receiving corps is now at full strength, and Otton is a low-end TE2.
