Huddle Up: Bridgewater played in four games with Tampa Bay in 2025 and hasn't been a full-time starter since 2021 with the Denver Broncos. He'll likely serve in a back-up capacity to starting QB Jared Goff.

Huddle Up: Evans snapped an 11-season streak with at least 1,000 receiving yards in 2025 due to injuries that limited him to just eight games. A model of consistency throughout his long career, Evans is expected to sign with the San Francisco 49ers as he enters his age-33 season in 2026. He'll be a featured target in that 49ers offense and should be a low-end fantasy WR2 who posts a handful of WR1 weeks throughout the season.

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: While the Monken factor plays a role, Evans is also 32 years old, and he expressed an interest to go to a Super Bowl contender. If that's the case, then the Browns are likely out of the race before it has even starter, as this team isn't close to being a contender. And, if familiarity is a factor, Evans wouldn't be expected to leave Tampa in the first place. Wherever Evans lands, he is still likely to be a WR3 for fantasy purposes in 2026, but be sure to have depth on hand, as Father Time is catching up to him.

Huddle Up: If Etienne does end up with a new team, it would make sense for the Jaguars to add a veteran back to pair with Bhayshul Tuten. White isn't flashy, but he could find his way into the flex conversation if he lands in Jacksonville.

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: Evans snapped an 11-season streak with at least 1,000 receiving yards in 2025 due to injuries that limited him to just eight games. A model of consistency throughout his long career, Evans is slated to hit free agency in a couple of weeks and will have a robust market as he enters his age-33 season in 2026. No matter where Evans lands, he'll be a featured target in that offense and should be a low-end fantasy WR2 who posts a handful of WR1 weeks throughout the season.

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: Evans snapped an 11-season streak with at least 1,000 receiving yards in 2025 due to injuries that limited him to just eight games. A model of consistency throughout his long career, Evans is slated to hit free agency in a couple of weeks and will have a robust market as he enters his age-33 season in 2026. No matter where Evans lands, he'll be a featured target in that offense and should be a low-end fantasy WR2 who posts a handful of WR1 weeks throughout the season.

Huddle Up: Evans was extremely productive in the short window he was on the field last season. So look for whatever team he plays for to maybe put him on a pitch count to avoid the numerous injuries he has played through over the years. He'll be a WR3 stud of an acquisition in PPR leagues.

Huddle Up: Mike Evans is testing the open market, but the Bucs remain the favorites to retain him this free agency cycle. If he returns to Tampa Bay, Evans would likely be the WR1 for the team, but with so many mouths to feed, he would likely be a WR3 or flex play at this point in his career.

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: Evans had an injury-plagued 2025, and it might not make a lot of business sense for the Buccaneers to spend a huge chunk of money on him, either. Whether he runs it back in Tampa, or is in another uniform for 2026, he remains worthy of a roster spot in fantasy football, but he is likely to be more of a WR3 or flex option at this point.

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: Evans is comng a injury-plagued season in 2025 after starting his career with nothing but consistency. Him returning to the Bucs remains up in the air given the build of the wide receiver room, which makes him one to watch when free agency kicksoff.

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: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation over the next month to see if Evans will consider retirement this offseason. He will be a free agent if he continues to play, but he is likely to return to the Buccaneers if he plays. He has lost some of his fantasy value but can be at least a No. 3 receiver in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Evans will likely receive interest from teams if he hits the market, but he probably will be a priority for the Buccaneers this offseason. He dealt with injuries this season but should be a starting receiver for a team next season. He can be at least a No. 3 receiver in most leagues.

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: 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: An injury forced Evans to miss almost half the season, so the end of the streak wasn't necessarily the result of poor performance. That being said, Evans only topped 60 receiving yards one time in the games he did play, and with 12 seasons under his belt, it may be time to lower expectations for Evans a bit.

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: As has been the case when Bucky Irving is healthy, White served as a the main backup and saw some work in the passing game. He remained a quality handcuff, although the emergence of Sean Tucker cut into White's upside a bit. He will be a free agent his offseason, but depending on where he lands, White could continue to be one of the better backups.

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.
