Russell Gage - Expected to face Saints Gage (hamstring) remans listed as questionable but is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Gage is expected to play Week 2, and the Buccaneers are reportedly optimistic about Mike Evans (calf) being available as well, while Julio Jones (knee) is considered a game-time decision. Meanwhile, Chris Godwin (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's contest. Depending on how things pan out, Gage could have to step up into a key role for Tom Brady versus the Saints.

Julio Jones - Likely game-time decision Jones (knee) is listed as questionable, and his availability will likely come down to a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Jones returned to practice Friday as a limited participant after not practicing Wednesday or Thursday. The Buccaneers will test the wideout's knee during pregame warmups before making a decision on his availability. Tampa Bay has already ruled out Chris Godwin (knee), but it is expected to have Mike Evans (calf) available.

Leonard Fournette - Expected to play Week 2 Fournette (hamstring) is listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Fournette was limited at practices throughout the week, but he never really appeared in danger of missing Sunday's contest. However, nothing is official yet, so fantasy managers should still confirm the running back's status before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If available, Fournette figures to handle another sizable workload after totaling 23 touches 137 yards during the season opener.

Mike Evans - Optimism surrounding Week 2 status Evans (calf) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, but the Buccaneers are optimistic that he'll be able to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Evans failed to log a full practice all week, but he apparently showed enough improvement heading into the weekend for Tampa Bay to feel good about his chances of suiting up. The veteran wideout led Tampa Bay with five catches on seven targets for 71 yards and a touchdown during its season-opening win over the Cowboys last weekend. Even if he's available Week 2, Evans will have a tough matchup Sunday while he likely draws shadow coverage from Marshon Lattimore, who held the wideout to just three catches for 62 yards across two games in 2021.

Kaylon Geiger - Elevated to active roster The Buccaneers elevated Geiger from the practice squad to their active roster Saturday for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Impact Geiger, an undrafted rookie, inked a practice-squad deal with Tampa Bay at the end of August after failing to land a spot on the Buccaneers' initial 53-man roster. Tampa Bay has already ruled out Chris Godwin (hamstring) and has four other wideouts listed as questionable, so it's currently unclear what the Buccaneers' receiving corps will look like in Week 2.
