Scotty Miller - Reemerges with four catches Miller secured four of seven targets for 35 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact Miller logged his second-highest snap tally of the season (35) and made good use of it, posting season highs in receptions and receiving yards. The fourth-year speedster's prospects of even making the final roster appeared somewhat grim in the preseason, but Miller thus far has contributed in two of the three games he's been called upon, with a combined 7-69-0 line on 15 targets between Weeks 2 and 5. If Breshad Perriman (knee/hamstring) remains sidelined Sunday against the Steelers, Miller could see another solid complementary role in that contest.

Rachaad White - Generates 60 all-purpose yards White rushed five times for 14 yards and brought in three of four targets for 28 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 18...
Impact White was incorporated into the offense to a solid degree, logging 31 snaps from scrimmage overall. The rookie third-round pick has particularly enjoyed a strong role in the passing game over the last pair of contests, posting an 8-78-0 line on nine targets in that span. White will remain behind Leonard Fournette for the time being, but he'll potentially have a chance for a similar workload in a Week 6 road matchup against a Steelers team the Buccaneers shouldn't have too much trouble eventually separating from.

Russell Gage - Limited production versus old squad Gage (back) secured two of six targets for 20 yards and recorded a two-point conversion reception in the Buccaneers' 21-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact The veteran played through an injury designation yet again, although this time it was a back issue that cropped up Saturday. Gage played a clear complementary role behind Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and even rookie tight end Cade Otton, the latter of whom finished with a career-best 6-43-0 line on seven targets. Gage appears destined for modest production in a decidedly short-area role under any circumstance, as he's yet to top 87 yards (and that was on 12 catches) in any game and has been held under 30 yards in each of his other four contests.

NFL odds Week 6: How to bet 49ers-Falcons, pick
Feleipe Franks - Sees career-high 30 offensive snaps With Kyle Pitts (hamstring) sidelined, Franks saw a career-high 30 offensive snaps during Sunday's 21-15 loss to Tampa Bay but failed to haul in either of his two targets.
Impact Franks transitioned from quarterback to tight end this offseason and has slowly developed into a trustworthy option for the Falcons. With Pitts sidelined, he saw the second most offensive snaps among Atlanta's tight ends and garnered one more target than Anthony Firkser and Parker Hesse. However, both of Franks' pass-catching opportunities came on downfield shots and neither of them were close to being completed. Regardless, Franks' development is certainly worth monitoring, especially if Pitts remains sidelined for an extended period.

Eagles still flying high among Bucky Brooks' top 10 NFL teams
Akiem Hicks - Still labeled as week-to-week Head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Hicks (foot) remains week-to-week, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Hicks suffered a plantar fascia tear in his foot during Tampa Bay's Week 2 win over the Saints, and he's ultimately failed to retake the field since. The veteran defensive lineman's next chance to suit up comes Sunday against the Steelers, but Rakeem Nunez-Roches would continue handling most of the fill-in reps should Hicks be ruled out for a fourth consecutive game.
