Chase McLaughlin - Perfect on six kicks Thursday McLaughlin converted field-goal attempts of 53, 32 and 53 yards and all three extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Sunday night.
Impact McLaughlin once again put his elite long-distance prowess on display with his pair of 50+ yard boots, his fourth and fifth makes from that distance in as many attempts this season. The veteran is still perfect on field-goal tries (10-for-10) on the campaign and will continue to serve as one of the top fantasy options thanks to his leg strength, accuracy and connection to a talented Buccaneers offense. McLaughlin could be poised for another prolific performance when he faces off with the Saints in a dome environment in Week 6.

Cade Otton - Solid yardage on three grabs Otton brought in three of four targets for 44 yards in the Buccaneers' 36-30 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.
Impact The third-year tight end finished second in receptions and third in both receiving yardage and targets on the night for the Buccaneers. Otton has firmly put a slow start to the season behind him, recording a 16-143 line on 21 targets over the last three games. Otton should continue serving in a complementary pass-catching role in a Week 6 road matchup against the Saints.

Logan Hall - Records pair of sacks on TNF Hall totaled two tackles, both of which were sacks, in Thursday's overtime loss to the Falcons.
Impact Hall was very disruptive in the contest, as he registered five QB hits, including the 2.0 sacks. The third-year pro is up to 3.0 sacks on the campaign, which is already a career-high mark. In fact, Hall's season total is equal to the amount of sacks he posted over the first 33 games of his NFL career.

Tykee Smith - Paces Bucs with 11 stops in loss Smith registered 11 tackles (nine solo) along with a forced fumble and a defensed pass Thursday in an overtime loss to the Falcons.
Impact Smith was evaluated for a concussion in the second quarter but wasn't out long, as he returned to the game before halftime. The rookie cornerback finished with a career-high 11 stops after recording just one tackle against Philadelphia in his previous game. Smith logged 99 percent of the Buccaneers' defensive snaps Thursday and has become a fixture in the team's secondary.

Lavonte David - Picks off pass Thursday David recorded eight tackles (six solo) and intercepted a pass in Thursday's overtime loss to Atlanta.
Impact David came up with a big interception with just under two minutes remaining in the contest to put Tampa Bay in a good position for a victory, but the team's offense couldn't pick up a first down, and the Falcons were able to kick a game-tying field goal as time expired to send the contest into an extra period. The pickoff was the 13th of David's career but his first since the 2020 campaign. Through five weeks, the veteran linebacker has recorded 37 tackles (23 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while forcing two fumbles and registering three pass defenses.

SirVocea Dennis - To be evaluated week-to-week Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Allen (shoulder), who was placed on IR on Tuesday, will have his status evaluated week-to-week, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Dennis's placement on IR rules him out until at least Week 9, making his earliest possible return date Nov. 4 versus the Chiefs, but it sounds like the severity of the second-year pro's injury could require he remain sidelined longer. Allen also said that Dennis dealt with a shoulder injury during summer practices and was "touch-and-go." K.J. Britt played 94 percent of defensive snaps during Thursday's loss to the Falcons, with Dennis sidelined.

Bucky Irving - Late fumble mars night Irving rushed nine times for 44 yards and brought in both targets for 12 yards in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night. He also returned one kickoff...
Impact Irving logged one fewer carry than backfield mate Rachaad White, who gained 28 additional rushing yards and also had one more catch on the night. Additionally, Irving had an especially untimely fumble following a seven-yard run with just under three minutes remaining, with Jessie Bates stripping the rookie of the ball as it appeared Tampa Bay could potentially getting into position to either run out the clock or at minimum, add three points to a 30-27 lead. Despite the miscue, Irving did have yet another efficient rushing performance, but with White also impressing while averaging over 7.0 yards per carry, it appears to the two will continue in a near-even timeshare during a Week 6 road divisional battle against the Saints on Sunday, Oct. 13.

Rachaad White - Season-best effort in loss White rushed 10 times for 72 yards and secured all three targets for minus-6 yards in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.
Impact White notably logged one more carry and target apiece than surging rookie backfield mate Bucky Irving, who also had a costly fourth-quarter fumble. White also posted a season-best rushing yardage total by a wide margin, and after averaging a minuscule 2.1 yards per carry over the first three games of the season, White has bounced back to compile 121 rushing yards on 20 carries over the subsequent pair of contests. The third-year back has yet to find the end zone as either runner or receiver, however, a matter he next gets a chance to rectify during a Week 6 road battle against the Saints on Sunday, Oct. 13.

Too many missed tackles lead to big missed opportunity for Bucs in 36-30 OT loss to Falcons
Tampa Bay gave up 509 yards passing and four touchdowns to Kirk Cousins, including a 45-yard touchdown strike to KhaDarel Hodge in overtime that gave Atlanta a 36-30 victoryOCTOBER 4 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chris Godwin - Modest numbers in OT loss Godwin secured five of six targets for 64 yards and committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.
Impact Godwin co-led the Buccaneers in receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards on the night. However, his target total, which was second on the night to Mike Evans' seven, was Godwin's lowest of the season through five games. Nevertheless, the veteran Penn State product has a critical role in coordinator Liam Coen's offense and next takes aim at a talented Saints secondary in Week 6 road matchup on Sunday, Oct. 13.

Mike Evans - Pair of TD grabs in OT loss Evans secured five of seven targets for 62 yards and two touchdowns and recovered a fumble in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.
Impact Evans hit pay dirt from two and 23 yards out in the first and second quarters, respectively, his fourth and fifth touchdowns of the season. However, the veteran wideout posted just three receptions for 37 yards as far as his non-scoring catches, although he had a key recovery of a Chris Godwin fumble just past the midway point of the third quarter following a 20-yard reception, keeping the ball for the Buccaneers on a drive that culminated in a field goal. Evans will head into a Week 6 road matchup against the Saints on Sunday, Oct. 13 still in search of his first 100-yard game of the campaign.
