William Gholston - Atypically high tackle total Gholston totaled six tackles (five solo), including one for loss, in the Buccaneers' 9-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.
Impact The veteran usually generates modest tackle totals, but Gholston now has accrued six stops in two of his last three contests. The 30-year-old is still off the radar in the overwhelming majority of IDP formats, however, as he usually offers minimal production outside of a handful of stops per contest.

Devin White - Eight more stops Sunday White tallied eight tackles (four solo), including two for loss, in the Buccaneers' 9-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.
Impact The standout linebacker didn't pace the team in tackles as is often the case, but he certainly wasn't far off while tying Jordan Whitehead for second in that category. White continues to be a top-shelf IDP option in the heart of the fantasy postseason, averaging 9.3 tackles over his last three contests.
DECEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Whitehead - Busy day in return Whitehead (calf) recorded eight tackles (five solo), including one for loss, in the Buccaneers' 9-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.
Impact Whitehead was in on each of the defense's 61 snaps during the contest in his return from a two-game absence due to a calf injury. His presence was particularly timely on a night when fellow safety Antoine Winfield (foot) was unable to suit up, and Whitehead now has at least eight stops in four of his last five contests. The 2018 fourth-round pick figures to be busy again in Week 16 against the Panthers on the road.

Jaelon Darden - Plenty of snaps, little production Darden failed to bring in any of the three targets he logged over 41 snaps during the Buccaneers' 9-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday night. He returned two kickoffs for 33 yards and...
Impact Darden's usage from scrimmage, which was at a career-high level, jumps off the page, even as the only touches he actually garnered came in his special-teams role. With Chris Godwin (knee) now gone for the remainder of the season and Mike Evans (hamstring) still uncertain for Week 16, the rookie could certainly be primed for another busy day of route running versus the Panthers in that contest. Whether that translates to much production remains to be seen, however -- Darden has just six receptions for 43 yards on 11 targets across eight games.

Mike Edwards - Suspension lifted Edwards (suspension) rejoined the Buccaneers on Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Impact Coach Bruce Arians said of Edwards and Antonio Brown (ankle), who each had their suspensions lifted Monday, "We'll welcome them back," per Greg Auman of The Athletic. Both Edwards and Brown are coming off three-game suspensions for having violated the joint NFL and NFLPA COVID-19 protocols for misrepresenting their vaccination statuses. It appears as though the safety will be allowed to prepare for Week 16's game against the Panthers normally.

O.J. Howard - Minimal involvement again Howard failed to bring in his only target over 10 snaps in the Buccaneers' 9-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.
Impact The fifth-year veteran was once again an afterthought, even with all of Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (knee) and Leonard Fournette (hamstring) exiting the contest early. With Antonio Brown set to step in for Godwin beginning with the Week 16 contest against the Panthers, Howard may not see even the slightest uptick in opportunity, especially if Evans also manages to avoid an absence in that contest.

Ryan Succop - Complete blanking in loss Succop missed his only kick, a 45-yard field-goal attempt, wide left in the Buccaneers' 9-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.
Impact One would have gotten very good odds before the season on Succop suffering a blanking on the stat sheet at any point in 2021, but that's precisely what unfolded Sunday night in a shocking shutout loss for the defending champions. One of several reasons for the significant struggles of the Buccaneers' offense against the Saints was the in-game injuries suffered by multiple key players, the most serious being Chris Godwin's season-ending ACL tear. With Tampa Bay set to operate short-handed to some degree for the remaining three games of the regular season, Succop could be the beneficiary in the form of a few more stalled drives than usual culminating in field-goal opportunities.
DECEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ke'Shawn Vaughn - Three carries in loss Vaughn rushed three times for 19 yards and failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Buccaneers' 9-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.
Impact Vaughn, who was primarily active Sunday night due to Giovani Bernard's (hip/knee) placement on injured reserve earlier in the week, was called into action when Leonard Fournette exited early with a hamstring injury. While Vaughn's role was still modest (19 snaps), that may not be the case in coming weeks, considering Fournette could miss at least the Week 16 contest versus the Panthers, at minimum. In such a scenario, Ronald Jones still projects to helm the Bucs backfield, but Vaughn could be a key complementary option.

Antonio Brown - Suspension lifted Brown's (ankle) suspension was lifted Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Impact After sitting out three games due to violating the joint NFL and NFLPA COVID-19 protocols for misrepresenting his vaccination status, Brown is back with the Buccaneers. The occasion is somewhat fortuitous for the team after Chris Godwin was diagnosed with a torn ACL following Sunday's loss to the Saints. At the same time, Mike Evans hurt his hamstring in that contest, and Breshad Perriman (undisclosed) is on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Questions surround Brown's own health, as he missed five games prior to the ban due to a sprained ankle. Not only will he need to prove he's past the issue, his conditioning could be less than 100 percent considering he hasn't taken part in practice in more than two months.

Scott Miller - Pair of catches in shutout loss Miller brought in two of three targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 9-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.
Impact After serving as a healthy scratch in Week 14 against the Bills, Miller was back in uniform Sunday night and his availability was timely. Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (knee) both exited the contest early, leading to a modest amount of volume for Miller. The Bowling Green product could be even busier over the last three games of the regular season, considering Godwin is out for the remainder of the contest due to a torn ACL and Evans could miss the Week 16 contest against the Panthers.
