Jalen McMillan has emerged as a standout player during the early stages of training camp for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, positioning himself as the frontrunner for the No. 3 wide receiver role. His main competitor for this position is fellow WR Trey Palmer, indicating a competitive battle for the spot as the season approaches.

Chris Godwin, wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, did not practice on Friday due to a neck injury. This raises concerns about his availability for Week 13. If Godwin is unable to play, it could result in more playing time for Deven Thompkins and potentially more targets for Mike Evans and Trey Palmer.

Baker Mayfield and Chris Godwin played key roles in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Mayfield made a crucial completion to Godwin on a third-and-10 play to seal the game, while Godwin downplayed his role and praised Mayfield's throw. Mayfield threw two touchdown passes and the Bucs' defense forced three turnovers to secure the win. Mayfield had a slow start but found his rhythm in the second half, orchestrating scoring drives and making key connections with Godwin and Mike Evans. The Bucs' defense also played a crucial role, with three takeaways that kept them in the game. Overall, Mayfield's performance and the team's resilience were praised by coach Todd Bowles and the defense.

Trey Palmer, a rookie wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has earned the No. 3 spot on the depth chart following Russell Gage's season-ending injury. Palmer had an impressive training camp and performed well in the preseason, catching seven of eight targets for 91 yards and two touchdowns. Although he struggled to see playing time at LSU, Palmer had a breakout season at Nebraska last year, recording 71 catches, 1,043 yards, and nine touchdowns. While he may need an injury to Chris Godwin or Mike Evans to gain fantasy relevance this year, Palmer is a player to keep an eye on.
