Tampa Bay Buccaneers Key Players 2026
Baker Mayfield
QuarterbackWas an MVP candidate through the first half of 2025 before a midseason shoulder injury derailed his season. Threw for 3,693 yards with 26 touchdowns and enters the final year of his contract with extension talks stalled.
Emeka Egbuka
Wide ReceiverThe 19th overall pick in 2025 flashed real upside early in his rookie season before a Week 6 hamstring injury slowed him down. Now steps into the lead receiver role following Mike Evans’ departure to San Francisco.
Chris Godwin
Wide ReceiverReturns as a proven veteran target for Mayfield, giving the offense a reliable option as the receiving corps rebuilds its identity without Mike Evans.
Bucky Irving
Running BackFollowed an excellent rookie season with a rough, injury-shortened 2025 that included shoulder and foot issues. Underwent shoulder surgery in the offseason and returned for June minicamp.
Tristan Wirfs
Offensive TackleMissed five games in 2025 but enters 2026 with no current health concerns, anchoring an offensive line tasked with keeping Baker Mayfield upright through a contract year.
Antoine Winfield Jr.
SafetyRemains one of the defense’s most important pieces as head coach Todd Bowles looks to shore up a unit that struggled down the stretch of a collapse that cost Tampa Bay the division.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2026 Season Preview
The 2026 Buccaneers are trying to erase the memory of a collapse that cost them the NFC South despite finishing tied for first place. A hot start built around a healthy Baker Mayfield gave way to a lost second half once his shoulder injury hit, and Tampa Bay now enters the season without its franchise receiver for the first time in over a decade.
Tampa Bay finished 8-9, tied for first in the NFC South, but lost the tiebreaker to Carolina despite beating the Panthers in Week 18. The finish ended a streak of five straight playoff appearances, driven largely by a four-of-five losing stretch after Baker Mayfield’s midseason shoulder injury.
Evans signed with San Francisco after 12 seasons in Tampa Bay, ending his run as the No. 7 overall pick in 2014. His departure follows an injury-shortened 2025 that snapped his NFL-record streak of 11 straight 1,000-yard seasons.
Beyond Mike Evans, Tampa Bay also lost RB Rachaad White, LB Lavonte David (retired), QB Teddy Bridgewater, WR Sterling Shepard, OLB Haason Reddick and CB Jamel Dean, a significant round of roster turnover on both sides of the ball.
LB Alex Anzalone (FA) and LB Josiah Trotter (Draft, Rd 2) were brought in to help replace the retired Lavonte David. The receiving room now leans heavily on Emeka Egbuka’s development and Chris Godwin’s continued production.
Baker Mayfield’s health and his contract situation loom over the entire season. Egbuka’s ability to handle a larger role without Evans, and Bucky Irving’s recovery from shoulder surgery, are the two biggest swing factors for the offense.
Todd Bowles wants clear improvement on defense after last year’s late-season collapse. Antoine Winfield Jr. remains the unit’s anchor as the linebacker corps rebuilds around Alex Anzalone and rookie Josiah Trotter following David’s retirement.
Tampa Bay is correctly priced as the NFC South favorite at +175, even after a difficult offseason, given the division’s overall parity. Best bet: track Baker Mayfield’s health and Emeka Egbuka’s development closely through camp, since both factors will determine whether the win total’s Under at -124 is the smarter side.
How to Bet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2026
Every Buccaneers bet at BUSR falls into one of these core markets. Here is how each one works with real 2026 Buccaneers examples.
The Buccaneers are assigned a number reflecting how much better or worse they are than the opponent. If Tampa Bay is -3, they must win by 4 or more. If +3, they can lose by up to 3 and still cover.
Pick the Buccaneers to win outright with no spread. Negative means Tampa Bay is favored. Positive means they are the underdog and a $100 bet wins more than $100.
Bet on the combined score of both teams. No individual team performance matters, only the final combined score against the posted number.
Bet on Buccaneers season-long outcomes. Super Bowl winner, NFC South winner, win total, and more. Odds are longest now and shorten as Tampa Bay wins games.
Combine two or more Buccaneers bets into one ticket for a bigger payout. All legs must win. A Buccaneers spread plus a Bucky Irving rushing yards Over is a classic same-game parlay.
Bet on an individual Buccaneers player’s performance in a single game. Most popular: Mayfield passing yards, Irving rushing yards, Egbuka receiving yards, Winfield Jr. tackles.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Player Props 2026
The most popular Tampa Bay Buccaneers player prop markets at BUSR.ag for the 2026 season, with sharp angles on each.
| Player | Prop Market | Sharp Angle |
|---|---|---|
| Baker Mayfield | Passing Yards O/U | Was an MVP candidate before his shoulder injury in 2025. His health status through camp and preseason is the single most important factor for every Buccaneers offensive market. |
| Emeka Egbuka | Receiving Yards O/U | Now the clear top receiving option following Mike Evans’ departure. His early-season target share should rise significantly from his rookie campaign. |
| Chris Godwin | Receptions O/U | A proven veteran presence who should see a steady role as the receiving corps adjusts to life without Evans. |
| Bucky Irving | Rushing Yards O/U | Coming off shoulder surgery after a rough, injury-shortened 2025. Monitor his workload closely in the preseason before targeting his weekly props. |
| Antoine Winfield Jr. | Tackles + Interceptions O/U | Remains the anchor of a defense that must show real improvement after last year’s late-season collapse. |
| Josiah Trotter | Tackles O/U | The rookie second-round pick steps in to help replace the retired Lavonte David. His role and snap count are worth tracking through training camp. |
