Devin White - Compiles 10 tackles White recorded 10 tackles (six solo) in Thursday's 27-22 loss to the Ravens.

Impact White registered double-digit tackles for the third time this season while playing 100 percent of the defensive snaps for the eighth consecutive contest to open the year. The linebacker is now up to 63 tackles, including three sacks, while deflecting four passes and forcing a fumble this season.

Shaquil Barrett - Placed on IR Barrett (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After suffering a torn Achilles in Week 8 versus the Ravens, Barrett is officially done for the season and has been placed on IR. The 30-year-old will finish the 2022 campaign with 31 tackles, including three sacks, while also forcing a fumble over eight games. In his absence, Anthony Nelson will likely operate in a starting role at outside linebacker moving forward.

Mike Edwards - Team-high tackle total Thursday Edwards logged 11 tackles (eight solo) in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Impact Edwards set the pace in tackles on the night for Tampa Bay with his third double-digit total in that category this season. The fourth-year safety also propelled himself to a new career high in stops by pushing his season total to 53, and he's developed into a legitimate IDP asset with prolific production through seven games.

Jaelon Darden - Continues shining on returns Darden returned two punts for 33 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Impact Darden once again was a non-factor on offense but continued to shine in his punt returner role. The second-year speedster ripped off runbacks of 18 and 15 yards, pushing his average in that category to a stellar 10.7 yards per return.

Scotty Miller - Another two catches Thursday Miller brought in both targets for 13 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Impact Miller recorded his second straight two-catch effort, which, while not exactly noteworthy, at least gives him a semblance of relevance in a struggling offense. Miller has four multi-catch efforts overall this season and logged 19 snaps Thursday night, and while he might be a slightly better fringe Buccaneers fantasy option than Breshad Perriman, he's still unlikely to gain any true relevance unless multiple injuries strike the receiving corps.

Breshad Perriman - One catch in loss Perriman secured his only target for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Impact The veteran wideout logged only four snaps overall despite the absence of Russell Gage (hamstring), but he at least made his first appearance on the stat sheet since Week 3. Perriman is likely to continue to be a fantasy afterthought as long as Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are healthy, as even the absence of complementary wideouts such as Gage or Julio Jones seems to have had a negligible effect on Perriman's opportunity/production.

Ryan Succop - Snaps back with productive effort Succop successfully made field-goal attempts of 31, 30 and 26 yards and also drilled his only extra-point try in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Impact The veteran kicker was back to his usual level of production after a lackluster Week 7 during which he had only one kick attempt. Succop's field-goal makes were all from very manageable distances, but that doesn't take away from the fact the 14-year veteran currently boasts a career-best 95.0 percent success rate on field goals and has missed just one of 29 total kick attempts all season when factoring in PATs.

OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Cade Otton - Pair of grabs in Week 8 loss Otton brought in two of five targets for 15 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Impact The rookie tight end drew another start with Cameron Brate (neck) out of action, but he couldn't parlay the opportunity into the same level of production he'd enjoyed in a pair of previous contests with an expanded role. Otton logged a robust 56 snaps overall, so the inefficient night certainly wasn't attributable to a lack of playing time. Otton has showed plenty of promise as a pass catcher, however, so even if Brate is back for the Week 9 home matchup against the Rams a week from Sunday, the 2022 fourth-round pick should still see a solid amount of playing time.

Rachaad White - Garners 43 total yards in loss White rushed four times for 19 yards and brought in all three targets for 24 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Impact The rookie once again saw a decent role on offense, and he notably matched backfield mate Leonard Fournette in receptions and targets. However, White actually logged just 15 snaps from scrimmage, a major downturn from the 29 he'd seen four days earlier against the Panthers. White was also stopped cold on a two-point conversion rush attempt after the Buccaneers' final touchdown, although he never had a chance thanks to shoddy blocking in front of him. Fournette appears likely to remain the clear-cut lead back, but it's also possible head coach Todd Bowles looks to shake things up on his struggling offense following three straight losses and affords White a bigger role in a Week 9 showdown against the Rams a week from Sunday.

Frustrated Brady, skidding Bucs seeking answers to tailspin

Anthony Nelson - Expected to be starter sans Barrett Nelson is expected to start at outside linebacker in the absence of Shaquil Barrett (Achilles), Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Nelson has recorded two sacks across eight appearances this season, but he's in line for increased opportunities with Barrett sidelined for the remainder of the season. The 2019 fourth-round pick played a season-high 46 percent of Tampa Bay's defensive snaps during Thursday's loss to Baltimore, but he figures to finish around the 60-70 percent mark moving forward.

Shaquil Barrett - Achilles tear confirmed Barrett suffered a torn left Achilles' tendon in Thursday's loss to the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN ports.

Impact Barrett will miss the rest of the season and faces an estimated rehab timeline of 7-to-9 months. The linebacker has recorded 40.5 sacks in 54 career regular-season games for Tampa Bay, while veteran backups Carl Nassib and Anthony Nelson have 32 career sacks combined. Barrett turns 30 years old in November and is signed to a four-year, $68.5 million contract that runs through 2024, making him a potential cap casualty this coming offseason

Shaquil Barrett - Could be done for season Barrett is believed to have suffered a torn Achilles and will undergo an MRI on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Barrett went down with a lower leg injury in the third quarter of Thursday's loss to the Ravens and, it is feared that he suffered a torn Achilles after initial examinations. More clarity on his status will be provided following Friday's imaging, but the 29-year-old appears likely to be done for the season. If that's the case, Anthony Nelson and Carl Nassib are candidates to step into a starting role at outside linebacker.

Jackson's strong 2nd half helps Ravens top Bucs 27-22

There was no panic in Baltimore’s locker room after the team’s pass-happy offensive approach mustered just three points against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Leonard Fournette - Another modest showing Thursday Fournette rushed nine times for 24 yards and brought in all three targets for 34 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Impact Fournette couldn't get anything going on the ground for the second straight game, and he's now netted just 43 yards on 17 carries over that pair of contests. The veteran RB did boost his receiving production back up after being held to a season-low seven yards in Week 7, but he's also seen just three targets apiece in two straight games following a four-game stretch with at least six looks in each contest. Fournette's struggles seem to be much more of a product of the offensive line, but he'll still take an uncertain fantasy outlook into a tough Week 9 matchup versus the Rams a week from Sunday.

OCTOBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Julio Jones - Scores touchdown in return Jones (knee) secured two of four targets for 21 yards and a touchdown and ran once for no gain in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Impact The veteran wideout was able to make it through the entire game in his first action since Week 4, and it paid off when he scored his first touchdown since Week 18 of last season on an eight-yard catch with 49 seconds remaining. Jones was a distant third behind the top duo of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in terms of targets, but he could enjoy another solid complementary role in a Week 9 matchup against the Rams with extra time to rest his knee ahead of that contest.
