Winners: Wide Receivers Adam Humphries and Mike Evans

The Bucs offense has been less than stellar this week and haven’t lived up to expectations really all season. With the roster really decimated with injuries they need as much production from every player. With the loss of Jameis Winston‘s safety blanket this week in Cameron Brate, Adam Humphries had to take on a larger role and was very successful. Outside of the second drive of the game where he tipped a pass that was intercepted “Hump” had a career day. He had ten catches for 94 yards and was the main focus for Winston with 13 targets.

He wasn’t the only receiver to have a good final week, as Mike Evans posted his twelfth touchdown on the season. In the biggest drive for the Bucs on the day he came up with the touchdown when the Bucs needed it the most. Evans had five catches for 65 yards and the lone offensive touchdown for the Bucs. Evans is a pro bowler this season but I bet you he’d rather be playing in the playoffs instead of a bus ride away in Orlando.
