If things break right for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, fantasy managers everywhere are going to want a piece of this offense.
We already know that last year, Baker Mayfield wasn't right in the slightest. Injuries piled on for him, but he kept playing. Knowing now, that he's healthy, we can expect more along the lines of his 2024 output.
And, if that's the case, we're going to see some fun seasons from the likes of Emeka Egbuka, Bucky Irving, Chris Godwin and co.
Throughout training camp and the preseason, though, some things could change. That's where we come in. Consider this to be the place you look no further for any and every Buccaneers fantasy-related update leading up to Week 1.
Noteworthy Buccaneers training camp battles with a fantasy impact
Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin aren't in a battle, but they're a noteworthy topic
The wide receiver position has a clear-cut top two in Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin, but will the former take over as the target-leader? There's a case to be made that Godwin will lead the team in targets and both of them could be closer, fantasy-wise, than some might expect.
The Bucs' WR3 is the real question, though, and may come into play as fantasy-relevant if either of the former mentioned were to get hurt. Is it Jalen McMillan? Will rookie Ted Hurst burst onto the scene? Does Tez Johnson continue to command involvement?
How much will Kenneth Gainwell impact Bucky Irving's touches?
We can all agree that, when healthy, Bucky Irving is the lead back. But, they didn't bring Kenneth Gainwell in here to purely act as a backup. He will get plenty of touches. In fact, fantasy managers fear this might end up being a timeshare.
Bucky Irving and other fantasy-relevant Buccaneers injury updates
FOX 13's Mark Skol says Bucky Irving 'good to go' for training camp -- 7/26
After recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, Irving should be good to go. Here's to hoping he stays healthy in Year 3.
Practical Buccaneers fantasy news and updates
Baker Mayfield's contract status means everything
The latest reports have the Bucs shelving Mayfield's contract talks until after this season. That means, he'll be especially worth drafting this season. In a contract year, Mayfield is the type who would go out of his way to ensure he knocks 2026 out of the park.
A Chris Godwin insurance plan is worth the thought
One thing fantasy managers should remember when they're targeting a player like Godwin is the fact that injuries have been a factor. Over the past two seasons, Godwin has played a total of 16 games and major injuries have come into play.
Consider eyeing whomever stands out in camp as the Bucs' WR3 as some late insurance or a potential waiver wire target, this year, if you're a Godwin owner.
