Leading rusher on nine carries Irving ran the ball nine times for 62 yards and caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders.
Impact Irving outperformed starter Rachaad White (15/31/0) on the ground, but the inverse could be said for their production as pass catchers. It was a strong start for the rookie fourth-round selection, as he will continue to be mixed in the offense as the season rolls along. Irving could be worth a look in deeper formats in the short term as the Buccaneers head into a Week 2 matchup against the Lions.

Leading receiver in Week 1 win Godwin converted all eight of his targets into receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders.
Impact Godwin was the leading receiver for Tampa Bay in terms of receptions, targets and yardage, but fellow star wideout Mike Evans grabbed two of Baker Mayfield's four touchdown passes Sunday. More importantly, the 28-year-old looked healthy running routes in the win after battling minor leg injuries in past seasons. Both Godwin and Evans make for fine fantasy starters on a weekly basis, including next Sunday's tilt against the Lions.

Scores twice in lopsided win Evans caught five of six targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-20 win over Washington.
Impact Evans finished third in receiving yards for the Buccaneers while finishing with the most fantasy points after scoring twice in the win. The superstar wideout is fresh off of a contract extension and looks to be in sync with starting quarterback Baker Mayfield to kick things off this fantasy campaign. Evans will face a stiffer test in terms of defensive backs when the Bucs face the Lions next Sunday, but the WR1 should always crack starting fantasy lineups so long as he is 100 percent healthy.
SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Eclipses century mark in yards White rushed 15 times for 31 yards and corralled all six of his targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders.
Impact White dominated the backfield touches but struggled with his production as a runner. Luckily he shined as a receiver to crack the century mark in total yards for fantasy managers Sunday. Tampa Bay's offense looked strong in its home opener, and White looks to be the lead tailback heading into a Week 2 matchup against Detroit.
SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Stars in blowout victory Mayfield completed 24 of 30 pass attempts for 289 yards and four touchdowns while rushing for 21 yards on three attempts in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders.
Impact Mayfield was nearly flawless in the Buccaneers 2024 home opener, missing just six pass attempts and committing no turnovers in a comfortable win. The 2018 first-overall pick looked the part in his second season starting for Tampa Bay, feeding top wideouts Mike Evans (5/61/2) and Chris Godwin (8/83/1) the football early and often. Mayfield looks like a great value pick after being drafted in the mid to late rounds in fantasy drafts. Now we will witness how this offense performs on the road against a tough Detroit defense next Sunday.

Baker Mayfield and Buccaneers rout Commanders 37-20 to spoil Jayden Daniels' debut

Baker Mayfield threw for 289 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 37-20 rout of the new-look Washington Commanders
SEPTEMBER 8 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Done for day Hall suffered a right ankle injury and has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Commanders, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact Hall suffered a lower body injury in the third quarter, which required the training staff to bring out the cart. An update on the cornerback's status moving forward will likely be provided in the near future, but he could be looking at an extended absence.
SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Out with ankle injury Hayes suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's Week 1 game against Washington and won't return to the contest, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact It's not clear when Hayes suffered the injury, but he was ruled out early in the third quarter. His exit was preceded by fellow cornerback Zyon McCollum leaving the game after entering concussion protocols, and Bryce Hall was carted off the field with a right leg injury shortly after Hayes was ruled out. That leaves Tampa Bay with just one healthy cornerback (Jamel Dean).

Won't return Sunday McCollum (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact McCollum entered concussion protocols in the second quarter of Sunday's game. The evaluation confirmed that the 2022 fifth-round pick sustained a concussion, and he will not be able to return, finishing the contest with one tackle. Bryce Hall will step into the starting corner role for the rest of the game opposite Jamel Dean.
SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Enters concussion protocols McCollum (head) is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Washington, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact McCollum sustained the head injury early in the second quarter, and he registered one tackle before exiting the contest. He will have to pass the league's concussion protocols in order to return to Sunday's game. While McCollum is sidelined, Bryce Hall and Josh Hayes are candidates to see extended playing time at corner opposite starter Jamel Dean.
SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Inactive Sunday Culp (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Culp, a seventh-round pick in the 2024 Draft, is listed as the fourth and last tight end on Tampa Bay's depth chart. The Washington product caught 16 passes for 208 yards during his final collegiate season in 2023.
SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Ready to roll in Week 1 Palmer (concussion) is active for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Commanders, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Impact Palmer was able to practice in full all week, so the second-year wideout garnering active status was simply a matter of clearing league protocol for head injuries. With that box having been checked as well, Palmer is set to work in a reserve receiver role against Washington, potentially sharing No. 3 receiver snaps with rookie third-round pick Jalen McMillan.

Won't play Week 1 Kancery has been ruled out of Sunday's regular-season opener against the Commanders due to a calf injury, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Kancey popped up on the Bucs' injury report Friday with a calf issue, and it appears serious enough for the 2023 first-round pick to be held out for Week 1. His next chance to suit up will be against the Lions on Sept. 15. With Logan Hall (foot) also ruled out for the regular-season opener, William Gholston and Ben Stille will start at defensive end with Vita Vea starting at nose tackle.

Could miss Week 1 Kancey (calf) was added to the Buccaneers' injury report Friday and is now questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact The 2023 first-round pick was a limited participant in Friday's practice due to a calf injury, and he's now in jeopardy of missing Tampa Bay's regular-season opener. If Kancey is unable to suit up Sunday, expect Ben Stille or William Gholston to serve as the Buccaneers' top left defensive end.

Listed as questionable Palmer (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Washington.
Impact Full practice participation Wednesday through Friday suggests Palmer is more likely than not to play, but concussion protocol means it isn't quite the same guarantee as with other injuries. In any case, he's expected to drop from third to fourth on the depth chart at wide receiver, having been usurped by rookie third-round pick Jalen McMillan this summer.
