Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Top 5 Offensive X-factors heading into 2020

5 Offensive X-factors for the Buccaneers in 2020

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have an opportunity to do something special during the 2020 season.

The Buccaneers enter the season as one of the favorites to compete for a postseason spot- which would be the first time in 12 seasons for the franchise- and much of that has to do with the major addition of Tom Brady in the offseason.

While all eyes are on names like Brady, Mike Evans, Rob Gronkowski and Chris Godwin, there are other ‘X-factors’ who will contribute greatly to the success of the Buccaneers offense in 2020.

Here’s a look at the top five X-factors for Tampa Bay on the offensive side of the ball.

5. Tyler Johnson

There are different opinions when it comes to rookie Tyler Johnson and the impact he’ll make for the Buccaneers this season, but I don’t think there’s any doubt he’ll play starter-level snaps before the season is over.

This is no offense to Scotty Miller or to some of those other wide receivers who are behind Evans and Godwin, but Johnson is just going to be too good to keep off the field.

As he becomes the third-option in the wide receiver core, we’re going to see him targeted more and more often. That’s going to lead to the rookie making a major impact and playing a valuable role in the success of the offense.
