Knowing now, that he&#8217;s healthy, we can expect more along the lines of his 2024 output.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5q\">And, if that&#8217;s the case, we&#8217;re going to see some fun seasons from the likes of Emeka Egbuka, Bucky Irving, Chris Godwin and co.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5t\">Throughout training camp and the preseason, though, some things could change. That&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Noteworthy Buccaneers training camp battles with a fantasy impact<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5z\">Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin aren&#8217;t in a battle, but they&#8217;re a noteworthy topic<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"62\">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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"65\">The Bucs&#8217; 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/thepewterplank.com\/buccaneers-jalen-mcmillan-is-blossoming-into-the-ultimate-fantasy-football-sleeper\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">it Jalen McMillan<\/a>? Will rookie Ted Hurst burst onto the scene? Does Tez Johnson continue to command involvement?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"68\">How much will Kenneth Gainwell impact Bucky Irving&#8217;s touches?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6b\">We can all agree that, when healthy, Bucky Irving is the lead back. But, they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantasylife.com\/articles\/fantasy\/bucky-irving-injury-update-and-fantasy-football-outlooks-for-ken\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">didn&#8217;t bring Kenneth Gainwell<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n<p>Bucky Irving and other fantasy-relevant Buccaneers injury updates<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6h\">FOX 13&#8217;s Mark Skol says Bucky Irving &#8216;good to go&#8217; for training camp &#8212; 7\/26<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6k\">After recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, Irving <a href=\"https:\/\/bucswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/buccaneers\/2026\/07\/25\/bucs-bucky-irving-should-be-good-to-go-for-training-camp-next-week\/90990759007\/?taid=6a65a2671e90770001b0bd5b&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">should be good to go<\/a>.

That means, he&#8217;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. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6w\">A Chris Godwin insurance plan is worth the thought<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-17\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6z\">One thing fantasy managers should remember when they&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"72\">Consider eyeing whomever stands out in camp as the Bucs&#8217; WR3 as some late insurance or a potential waiver wire target, this year, if you&#8217;re a Godwin owner.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow thepewterplank.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=thepewterplank.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If things break right for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, fantasy managers everywhere are going to want a piece&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":355573,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[135,137,136],"class_list":["post-355572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355572","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355572"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355572\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355573"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
