Latest news

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield returns to Thursday practice, Mike Evans, Bucky Irving sidelined

Greg Auman

Oct 02, 2025 · 11:48 AM EDT

Lots of updates from Bucs practice:

Not practicing: Mike Evans, Bucky Irving, Jamel Dean, Benjamin Morrison, Christian Izien.

Practicing: Baker Mayfield, Tristan Wirfs, Lavonte David, Chris Godwin, Zyon McCollum, Haason Reddick, Tykee Smith, Logan Hall, Greg Gaines, Charlie Heck, Sterling Shepard.

Fantasy Impact:

As Greg said, lots to take in here, but not a ton of surprises.

As it stands, we're not expecting any positive Week 5 news for Irving or Evans, which locks Godwin, Emeka Egbuka, and Rachaad White into fantasy-friendly roles, while Mayfield should be in low-end QB1 consideration unless he experiences a setback.

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin Questionable, QB Baker Mayfield "should be able to play" Week 4

Bucs coach Todd Bowles said Baker Mayfield (biceps) Tristan Wirfs (knee) and Chris Godwin (ankle) are all questionable for Sunday but trending the right way. Mayfield should be able to play.

Related Players: Emeka Egbuka, Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard, Ryan Miller

Fantasy Impact:

Even with Mike Evans out, we can't be certain that the Bucs are going to roll out Godwin with a full complement of snaps in Week 4. Egbuka should be considered a strong WR2, while Godwin is more of a WR4 until we see him back in a full-time role.

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin returns to practice after scheduled day off

Chris Godwin was a full participant Wed, had a scheduled day off Thursday and is back practicing today as well as T Tristan Wirfs. Both seem to be on track to play Sunday vs. Eagles. Will update after practice with Todd Bowles.

Related Players: Emeka Egbuka, Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard, Ryan Miller

Fantasy Impact:

Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring) to miss 3-4 weeks

Rick Stroud on X

Sep 23, 2025 · 1:30 PM EDT

Bucs WR Mike Evans will miss 3-4 weeks with a moderate hamstring strain.

Fantasy Impact:

Evans' hamstring injury isn't considered as bad as the injury that caused him to miss three weeks last season. Evans is hopeful of a possible return before Week 7, and avoiding a trip to the IR. Godwin is working his way back from the ankle injury, but likely isn't returning this week. Egbuka should be the team's top target at WR with Shepard sliding in as the second. It's possible Otton, Irving and White see a bump in the passing game. Miller and both Johnsons have played very limited roles so far this season with Miller collecting a 20-yard TD catch in Week 2.
