Second-year guy Scotty Miller and third-year player Justin Watson are next two on the depth chart, suggesting that a person of them is going to be the primary 3rd receiver. Miller probably has the upper hand because competitors thanks to his speed, big-play ability and apparent chemistry with Brady in training school. The Bucs went deep at receiver, initially keeping 7 on Saturday prior to putting undrafted rookie John Hurst on hurt reserve on Sunday. Jaydon Mickens and 2020 fifth-round draft choice Tyler Johnson are in the third spots at the 2 listed WR positions however may not initially have a big function in the offense. Mickens is anticipated to start the season with the kickoff and punt return tasks while Johnson may need more time to get accustomed to the offense after missing much of training school with a leg injury.

The actual number of starts that those two plus Cameron Brate and Antony Auclair make is likely to be the outcome of specific bundles the team has for various two-TE sets. Auclair, for circumstances, has made 18 starts in 3 seasons in spite of only catching 10 passes in that span.

Running Back– As noted above, the Bucs are starting the season with four running backs, including their third-round draft choice, Vaughn. McCoy is listed in the second area behind Jones, but its possible that he gets the majority of his work as a third-down back, with Fournette being the main runner who spells Jones on second and very first down.

Quarterback– The Buccaneers kept 3 passers, as Bruce Arians had recommended was the strategy earlier in the week.
