Buccaneers | Mike Evans' season likely over Mon Dec 9, 10:07 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring) is likely out for the season as head coach Bruce Arians said he'd be shocked if Evans returned.
| Footballguys view: The team is going to call him week-to-week with this hamstring injury. Evans might not be able to return this year, but he's already compiled over 1,000 yards on the season for the sixth consecutive season (every year he's been in the NFL). Chris Godwin, Breshad Perriman, and Justin Watson will get more work with Evans missing time. |

Buccaneers | Jameis Winston's future still murky Thu Dec 5, 01:09 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston is currently playing out his fifth-year option on his rookie contract, and head coach Bruce Arians says it's still to be determined if Winston will be offered a new contract to return to the team in 2020. 'I'm gonna pass on that one. I'm gonna wait until the end of December,' Arians said at a news conference Wednesday, Dec. 4. 'There's been really, really good. And there's been some really, really bad.... I'm just going to pass until it's over. And then, we'll make a decision.'
| Footballguys view: Who in the world knows what the future holds for Winston. He should have been better under Bruce Arians this year, but Winston is still a turnover machine most weeks. The Bucs could easily go in a different direction, be that a free agent or rookie quarterback in 2020. |

Buccaneers | Ronald Jones remains starter Wed Dec 4, 03:38 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones is still the team's starter, according to head coach Bruce Arians Wednesday, Dec. 4.
| Footballguys view: That's cool but Fantasy GMs have moved on. Jones is getting vultured by Peyton Barber when the team is near pay dirt. He's also gotten benched for missing his block in pass protection. Jones is the starter, but from a fantasy perspective it doesn't matter much in week one of the fantasy playoffs. |

Buccaneers | Two touchdowns for Peyton Barber Sun Dec 1, 05:59 PM

| Footballguys view: Evans and Chris Godwin have been trading off huge games all year and this week was no different.
