Steps up for injured starters Johnson had four receptions (seven targets) for 41 yards in Sunday's 9-0 loss to New Orleans.
Impact The Buccaneers lost wideouts Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (knee) early in this contest, opening the door for Johnson to see an expanded role in the passing game. The 2020 fifth-round draft pick had seen 60 percent or more of the offensive snaps in six of the Bucs' last seven contests, but he averaged just 2.3 receptions and 19.6 yards per game over that stretch of games. Johnson and fellow wideout Scotty Miller (2-18-0) may see increased usage against the Panthers next Sunday if Evans and/or Godwin are unable to suit up.

Takes over rushing duties Jones rushed eight times for 63 yards and caught both of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 9-0 loss to the Saints.
Impact Leonard Fournette (hamstring) went down on Tampa Bay's first drive of the second half, leaving Jones to handle most of the rushing duties for the remainder of the contest. The severity of the former's injury is unclear at the moment, but we should get some clarity on that front in the coming days. Jones performed well in a pinch, as he was seemingly the only Tampa Bay offensive player that the Saints did not have an answer for (7.9 yards per carry). If Fournette is unable to suit up against the Panthers next Sunday, then Jones figures to take over starting duties with Ke'Shawn Vaughn (3-19-0 on Sunday) taking over the backup role.

Blanketed in coverage Gronkowski caught just two of his 11 targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 9-0 loss to New Orleans.
Impact The Buccaneers lost wideouts Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (knee) in the first half, leaving Gronkowski as Tom Brady's top receiving option for the rest of the contest. The Saints took advantage of this knowledge, focusing its defensive focus on the tight end and limiting his second-half production to just one catch (nine targets) for 10 yards. Gronk may be asked to shoulder the receiving load again if Evans and Godwin are unable to go against the Panthers next Sunday, with his fantasy managers hoping for a better rate of success on a similarly-high volume of targets.

Hounded in shutout loss Brady completed 26 of 48 pass attempts for 214 yards, no touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 9-0 loss to the Saints.
Impact Brady lost his two top outside threats in the first half of this contest, but it may not have made much of a difference with how relentless the Saints' defense performed. The ageless wonder was outmatched by a defensive unit for what felt like the first time this season, getting sacked a season-high four times and losing a fumble on his lone rushing attempt. It was the first time a Brady-led offense has been shut out since 2006, which is even more surprising when you consider that Tampa Bay had the highest-scoring offense heading into Week 15. The superstar quarterback has shown the ability to bounce back from poor performances in the past, but he will have to earn it against the Panthers -- who allow the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks -- next Sunday, especially if Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (knee) are unable to suit up.
