Jonathan Krause is the current Bucs’ bubble player the team needs to keep on the 53-man roster following Wednesday night’s pre-season finale.

The receiver is just one of a handful of receivers fighting for dwindling spots on the team and he may have the most upside of them all.

After being a consistent star on the practice field during camp he hasn’t quite had the breakout game most had hoped, but he hasn’t disappeared either.

With Donteea Dye now injured after a relatively impressive performance this pre-season, Krause could step in and help in the return game along with providing some depth for the offense.

Last year we all witnessed Adam Humphries explode onto the scene in Week 4 and this could be the guy to really separate himself among fellow challengers Bernard Reedy, Evan Spencer, Kenny Bell and Freddie Martino.
