Antonio Brown - Not seen at practice Brown (ankle) isn't at practice Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Impact It's been exactly a week since coach Bruce Arians said he hoped to have Brown back in the lineup for the upcoming Week 13 matchup with Atlanta this Sunday. Another missed practice suggests Brown isn't on track to return, though he'll still have two more chances to get in some work before Sunday. Fill-in No. 3 receiver Tyler Johnson has averaged only 23.0 receiving yards with Brown out the past five games, perhaps opening the door for Scotty Miller to handle a larger role if Brown does indeed miss more time. Miller returned from IR for last week's win over Indianapolis, playing a mere four snaps on offense in his first appearance since Week 3.

Mike Edwards - Active in Week 12 win Edwards recorded three solo tackles, defensed two passes and forced a fumble in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Impact Edwards turned in a fantasy-friendly effort despite the modest number of tackles, notching his second game with multiple defensed passes this season and forcing his fumble of the campaign when he stripped Zach Pascal late in the first quarter after a nine-yard catch. The third-year pro remains stuck in a rotational role behind starting free safety Jordan Whitehead but has proven adept at getting his hands on the ball (three interceptions, four additional defensed passes) and contributing some serviceable tackle numbers (35) relative to playing time in that role.

Ndamukong Suh - Rings up fourth sack Suh was credited with two tackles, including a sack, in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Impact The ageless defensive tackle was able to bring down Carson Wentz for his third sack in the last four games. Suh's atypically sparse amount of tackles this season are mostly keeping him off the fantasy radar, but if he continues to get to the quarterback at the current clip, he could certainly enjoy a rise in value.

Pierre Desir - Picks off old squad in win Desir collected six tackles (five solo) and an interception in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Impact Playing a season-high 61 snaps after a shoulder injury knocked Jamel Dean out of the game in the first quarter, Desir turned in a rock-solid IDP effort that included his first interception since Week 4 of last season. The 31-year-old journeyman could be due for a spot start in Week 13 against the Falcons if Dean is forced to sit out the contest and Carlton Davis (quadriceps) isn't deemed ready for a return.

Antoine Winfield Jr. - Grabs second interception Winfield collected seven tackles (five solo) and recorded an interception in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Impact Winfield tied with Lavonte David for third on the team in tackles and recorded his second interception of the season on an athletic and clutch leaping grab at the Buccaneers' five-yard line in the latter portion of the third quarter on a pass intended for Michael Pittman. Winfield's tackle total represented an encouraging rebound for the second-year safety as well, considering he'd collected just three in the Week 11 Monday night win over the Giants.
DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Whitehead - Co-leads team in tackles Whitehead furnished eight tackles (six solo) in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Impact Whitehead's tackle tally was good enough to colead the team alongside Shaquil Barrett. The 24-year-old has been a solid IDP asset for the last month, posting at least eight tackles in three of the last four games. Any boost to Whitehead's interception numbers -- he has one pick through 10 contests -- would naturally be a welcome bonus, but the 2018 fourth-round pick will continue to hold plenty of value based on tackling numbers alone if he can keep them up.
DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Lavonte David - Remains productive Sunday David totaled seven tackles (five solo), including one for loss, defensed a pass and recovered a fumble in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Impact Just another day at the office for David, who's now compiled at least seven tackles in four consecutive games. The 31-year-old linebacker has only gotten to the quarterback once this season, but with 71 tackles through nine games, his average of 7.9 stops per contest is actually higher than that of either of his last two campaigns.

Shaquil Barrett - Racks up pair of sacks Barrett compiled eight tackles (five solo), including two sacks and an additional tackle for loss, in the Buccaneers' 38-31 win over the Colts on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble...
Impact It was a stellar all-around IDP performance by Barrett, who was much more active on the tackling front than usual and ended up coleading the team in stops alongside Jordan Whitehead. The veteran pass-rushing linebacker hadn't gotten to the quarterback since Week 7 prior to Sunday, and he now is just a half-sack away from tying the eight he compiled across 15 games last season.
