Emeka Egbuka caught 4-of-7 targets for 64 yards in the Buccaneers' Week 15 loss to the Falcons.Well, it's better than the previous two weeks. Egbuka wasn't great, but he was involved even with Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan returning from injury Thursday. Still, it's another statline that pales in comparison to what his early success looked like, and it's fair to wonder if those numbers are going to come again in 2025. The next chance to do so comes in a massive matchup for the Bucs against the Panthers in Week 16.
Chris Godwin caught 4-of-5 targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' Week 15 loss to the Falcons.it was a very quiet day for Godwin, but he was able to not only get into the end zone on a connection with Baker Mayfield, but he also picked up the two-point conversion a play later on a pass from Mayfield. Godwin now has added competition with both Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan back, but he he's in the WR3 conversation for Week 16 against the Panthers.
Jalen McMillan caught 2-of-2 targets for 38 yards in the Buccaneers' Week 15 loss to the Falcons.McMillan came mere inches short of turning his first catch of 2025 into a touchdown, but instant replay deemed him to be down inside of the one yard line. The second-year wideout has missed the entirety of the campaign prior to Thursday due to a neck issue, and while there are a lot of bodies to feed in the Tampa Bay offense, it's worth keeping in mind that McMillan was a significant part of the passing attack in 2025 as a rookie. Still, it's hard to see him being a fantasy option for the remainder of 2025, and there's more risk than reward for Week 16 against the Panthers.
