Buccaneers remain betting favorites to win the NFC South despite 3-6 record at their bye

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 3-6 and remain betting favorites to win their division
23 HOURS AGO • Associated Press
Tykee Smith - Picks off pass in Week 9 defeat Smith recorded seven tackles (four solo) and an interception in Sunday night's 27-24 loss to the Bears.
Impact As a team, the Bucs picked off Caleb Williams four times Sunday night, but it still wasn't enough to propel Tampa Bay to a win. Smith now has two picks over his last three games and is up to 50 tackles (26 solo), three pass breakups and a forced fumble across nine starts this season. He has a chance to best last season's career-high 100 tackles in 2026.

Zyon McCollum - Two more INTs in Week 9 loss McCollum recorded five tackles (four solo) and two interceptions in Sunday night's 27-24 loss to the Bears.
Impact The cornerback has been on an absolute heater in the interceptions department, as he's now recorded at least one pick in three straight games. After picking off Bryce Young and Michael Penix in back-to-back games, McCollum got Caleb Williams twice in Week 9. The four interceptions are a new career high for the fifth-year defensive back, who is now up to 35 tackles (28 solo), 11 pass breakups and a fumble recovery across nine games this season.
1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
Alex Anzalone - Logs another interception Anzalone posted two solo tackles and an interception during the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Bears in Week 9.
Impact The Buccaneers picked off Caleb Williams four times, which included Anzalone's pick late in the third quarter that set Tampa Bay up in Chicago territory. Anzalone recorded four interceptions over his first nine NFL seasons, but he's already up to four picks in 2026, three of which have come over his last two outings. He enters the Week 10 bye with 44 tackles (19 solo), including 1.0 sacks, through nine regular-season games.
1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
Josiah Trotter - Posts eight stops against Chicago Trotter recorded eight tackles (five solo) during the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Bears in Week 9.
Impact Trotter led the Buccaneers in tackles in Week 9, when he played 59 of 61 defensive snaps (96.7 percent). The rookie second-rounder has logged at least six stops in each of the first eight games of the regular season, and he enters the Week 10 bye with 76 tackles (37 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three pass defenses (including a pick-six).

Kameron Johnson - Limited to special teams in Week 9 Johnson played all 17 of his snaps on special teams and recorded one tackle in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Bears.
Impact Johnson, a reserve wide receiver, has been used almost exclusively on special teams through his two-plus seasons in Tampa Bay. He's logged just 15 total snaps on offense through nine games in 2026, recording a three-yard reception on two targets. Johnson leads the Buccaneers with 14 kickoff returns for 389 yards, but he didn't see any runback opportunities in Week 9 while Sean Tucker handled those duties.

Lopsided divisions leave 6-3 Packers in last place and 3-5 Panthers in first place

2 DAYS AGO • Associated Press
Ted Hurst III - Held catchless again Hurst failed to haul in his lone target during the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
Impact For a third consecutive game, the rookie third-rounder didn't record a catch while seeing only one target. Of more concern was the fact that Hurst was on the field for only one offensive snap in Week 9 after logging at least 25 offensive snaps in each of the first eight games of the regular season. That lack of offensive playing time coincided with the return of Emeka Egbuka, although Hurst also saw less snaps than Chris Godwin (62), Tez Johnson (52) and even David Sills (six), although Sills was cut by the Buccaneers on Tuesday. With the Buccaneers on a bye for Week 10, Hurst will look for better results in Week 11 against the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 22.
2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Tez Johnson - Produces 76 yards in SNF loss Johnson caught two passes for 76 yards on five targets in Sunday night's 27-24 loss to the Bears.
Impact Johnson accounted for the Bucs' longest play of the game, producing a 58-yard catch-and-run to lead the team in receiving yards. Johnson has been working as the Bucs' WR3 behind Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin, with rookie Ted Hurst mixing in for sub-package snaps. Johnson isn't a particularly exciting fantasy bet.

Sean Tucker - Relegated to special teams again Week 9 Tucker didn't log any offensive snaps in a loss to the Bears on Sunday. He returned four kickoffs for 92 yards.
Impact It was the second straight week in which Tucker went without an offensive snap. That's happened despite Tampa Bay going to the ground plenty during that span. Perhaps not coincidentally, Tucker has begun working as a kick returner during the two-game stretch. It appears he's not going to get many opportunities on offense as long as Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell are healthy.

The Week 9 Plays That Stood Out, From Ben Johnson's Scheme To Joe Burrow's Big TD Toss
Chase McLaughlin - Remains perfect on the season McLaughlin converted all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Tampa Bay's loss to the Bears on Sunday.
Impact McLaughlin had a solid outing despite the loss, although all three of his field goals came from within 35 yards. Across his first nine outings of the season, the 30-year-old has yet to miss a kick, converting on all 22 field-goal attempts and all 18 extra-point tries.
3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Cade Otton - Eight targets in SNF loss Otton caught four of eight targets for 25 yards in Sunday night's 27-24 loss to the Bears.
Impact The tight end saw a team-high eight targets, drawing a 26.7 percent target share from Baker Mayfield. It still didn't translate into much in the box score, as Otton remains without a touchdown through nine games. He's turned 38 targets into 23 catches for 211 yards this season and is a low-floor fantasy option most weeks.
