Tajae Sharpe - Sees five targets in loss Sharpe caught three of his five targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Buccaneers.
Impact Sharpe finished tied with Olamide Zaccheaus and Cordarrelle Patterson for third on the team in targets, but Sharpe's 10 receiving yards were only better than Qadree Ollison and Keith Smith. The 6-foot-2 wideout continues to operate as the No. 1 wide reciever while Calvin Ridley (personal) remains out, but the designation has not yielded the expected results. Matt Ryan continues to rely on slot man Russell Gage (11 receptions for 130 yards), tight end Kyle Pitts (four receptions for 48 yards) and his trio of running backs (eight receptions for 99 yards) in the pass game. As long as Ridley is away from the team, Sharpe is expected to garner plenty of snaps, but his sporadic production makes it difficult for fantasy managers to trust him on a weekly basis.

Bucs Place 1 On COVID List The Bucs have placed a member of the team on the reserve/COVID list ahead of their matchup with the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Ryan Succop - Totals six points in win Succop connected on a 31-yard field-goal attempt and drilled three of four extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 30-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact Succop inched his success rate on field goals to 83.3 percent with his one make Sunday, but he missed his third extra-point try of the season late in the first quarter following the Buccaneers' second touchdown of the afternoon. His occasional misfires aside, Succop continues to be a coveted weekly option in all formats due to his connection to a Tampa Bay offense that's now scored at least 30 points in three straight contests.

Cameron Brate - Finds end zone on one catch Brate secured his only target for a three-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 30-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact The veteran tight end played just 19% of snaps (13), but he was able to make good use of his one reception. Brate's three-yard score late in the first quarter served as his second touchdown reception of the season, matching his 2020 total, which was achieved over 16 games. Brate's visit to the end zone notwithstanding, he remains an option only in very deep PPR formats and as a DFS dart throw due to his typically low volume and limited role behind Rob Gronkowski.

Qadree Ollison - Three touches in Week 13 Ollison had two rushing attempts for seven yards and caught his only target for eight yards during Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Buccaneers.
Impact Ollison led the team in carries during the Week 11 loss to the Patriots, but he was kept on the practice squad for Week 12 after being sidelined with an illness. The Falcons backfield continues to be a mystery behind Cordarrelle Patterson, as Wayne Gallman, Mike Davis and Ollison have each had sizeable roles at certain times and limited action in other games. With Gallman a healthy scratch in Week 13, Davis (38 snaps) and Patterson (34 snaps) paced the Falcons' running backs in snaps and production, while Ollison (13) operated in reserve.
