Star WR Chris Godwin returns to Tampa, sources say, taking less money to stay with Baker Mayfield, Mike Evans and the rest of the gang.

He gets a 3-year, $66M deal with $45M guaranteed.

Godwin was having a phenomenal season before his Week 7 dislocated ankle, and will look to fill his slot role again, even if the offense looks a little different under new OC Josh Grizzard. Grizzard was the team's pass game coordinator last season, so that's a good sign that we could see Godwin reprise his role as a fantasy WR2.

Baker Mayfield got stepped on in the third quarter and initially worried that he might have suffered a season-ending injury.

Trask replaced him, but it turned out to be a one-play absence for the quarterback. Mayfield said, "I’ve seen some people pop their Achilles before and they say it feels like you got cleated. Obviously, not knowing what exactly happened that’s what I thought I did. It was a little painful, but I got taped again and went back out there.” Mayfield should be good to go despite not having his best game in Week 13. The Bucs host the Raiders in Week 14 in the early Sunday window.

"He's good," Bowles said about Baker Mayfield's stinger/neck injury from late in Sunday's game and whether it could impact him moving forward.

Mayfield was able to play through the injury and it seems like he'll be good to go for Week 13, which is later Sunday game at the Panthers.

Sources: Bucs WR Mike Evans, who has been out since Week 7 with a hamstring injury, is back at practice and is planning to play on Sunday vs the Giants.

A huge boost for Baker Mayfield.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“He’ll be fine,” Liam Coen says of Baker Mayfield’s toe, knowing he’s been limited but will be ready come Sunday afternoon vs. 49ers.

Looks like Mayfield will suit up, but it's a pretty difficult matchup against the 49ers defense. He should be considered a top-15 option for Week 10.

The Buccaneers have agreed to terms with veteran WR Sterling Shepard on a one-year deal. Following eight seasons with the Giants, who drafted him in the second round in 2016, Shepard reunites with his former Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield in Tampa.

Shepard adds some depth to the wide receiver room as they head into the summer months but will have a difficult time producing in fantasy if he makes the final roster.

Baker Mayfield confirmed the three-year deal. “I wanted a chance to come back,” Mayfield said. “I love coach Bowles and the staff. I’m happy to be here and I want to win more in the postseason
Baker Mayfield’s deal with the Buccaneers:

2024: $30 million
2025: $30 million, including $20 million guaranteed
2026: $40 million

$5 million per year in incentives

$100 million total, with incentives a max value of $115 million.

Coming off a 9-8 record in his first year in Tampa Bay, Mayfield is back along with his star WR Mike Evans. Consider him a fantasy QB2 heading into 2024.

Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was able to finish Sunday’s game against the Colts despite suffering an ankle injury in the first quarter.

It sounds like Mayfield will be able to play this week’s game against the Panthers, too.

Head coach Todd Bowles told reporters in his Monday press conference that Mayfield’s MRI was negative, which is a positive outcome for the QB. Owners should keep any eye on Mayfield's status this week as there's a good chance he'll at least be limited. For now, he appears to have a good chance to play in Week 13.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (knee) and WR Chris Godwin (neck) — both listed as questionable — will play tonight against the Bills.

DT Vita Vea (groin) is also questionable and will be a true game-day decision.

Good news for the Buccaneers offense in general, but Mayfield doesn't need to be in consideration for a fantasy start this week. Godwin can be considered a WR2.

Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield landed on Monday’s estimated practice report as a non-participant because of a knee injury, but he didn’t sound like there’s any concern about his status for Thursday’s game against the Bills.

The injury report was an estimated one because the Bucs only held a walkthrough a day after their loss to the Falcons and Mayfield was spotted at their second walkthrough of the week on Tuesday. After the session, Mayfield said that the knee issue isn’t serious and that he’s confident he’ll manage it well over the next few days, the story went on to say.
