Buccaneers blowing out Panthers with 33-6 halftime lead
Baker Mayfield is back, and apparently, so are the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay crushed the Panthers in the first half, forcing three turnovers and scoring in every phase. The Bucs lead 33-6 at halftime. Mayfield didn’t do much, but he didn’t need to with the Panthers self-destructing. Bryce Young lost a fumble on a strip-sack by Al-Quadin Muhammad that Calijah Kancey returned 32 yards for a touchdown; Panthers wide receiver David Moore muffed a punt that Ko Kieft recovered for the Bucs at the Carolina 18, and Chase McLaughlin kicked a 22-yard field goal after Tampa Bay stalled at the Carolina 4; and Bucs cornerback Zyon McCollum intercepted Young just before the half, with his 18-yard return setting up Tampa Bay at the Carolina 32. Tez Johnson scored on an 18-yard reception from Mayfield with four seconds left in the first half. It was Mayfield’s 200th career touchdown throw. Even when things went right for Young and Carolina, they went so wrong. The Panthers scored their only points on a 50-yard reception by tight end Darren Waller, but Ryan Fitzgerald’s PAT attempt was blocked by Tykee Smith. McCollum returned it for a defensive 2-point conversion. It is the first defensive 2-point conversion in the NFL this season after teams combined for two all of last season. The Bucs have 196 yards, and Mayfield is only 5-of-9 for 49 yards and a touchdown. Bucky Irving has 18 carries for 84 yards and two touchdowns. The Panthers have 114 yards, with Young 7-of-11 for 95 yards with a touchdown and an interception

Baker Mayfield's first drive back results in a TD, 7-0 lead
The Buccaneers have Baker Mayfield back, and they have a 7-0 lead over the Panthers after the first drive. Tampa Bay took the opening kickoff and went 70 yards in 14 plays.

Mayfield is 2-for-4 for 23 yards in his return from a broken right thumb, which kept him out three games. Tez Johnson had a 19-yard reception. Irving has 10 carries for 47 yards and a touchdown

Ted Hurst III Offers Plug-and-Play Potential Against Carolina
Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Ted Hurst III could provide emergency flex value in Sunday's Week 7 matchup against Carolina, with Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) ruled out. Hurst played 50% of Tampa Bay's offensive snaps against Pittsburgh last week, drawing six targets. Through six games, he has caught 11 passes for 168 yards and one touchdown, leaving his weekly production difficult to trust. Chris Godwin Jr. and Tez Johnson will also compete for targets, while quarterback Baker Mayfield (thumb) is questionable but expected to start. Ranked WR44 by RotoBaller for Week 7, Hurst offers plug-and-play potential as an emergency flex option in deeper leagues

Bucs sign rookie WR Matthew Henry
The Buccaneers signed rookie wide receiver Matthew Henry on Tuesday, the team announced. In a corresponding move, the Bucs placed rookie defensive lineman Deshawn McKnight on injured reserve. McKnight injured a hamstring in the team’s preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday night. Henry finished his collegiate tenure last year at Western Kentucky after previous stops at Western Illinois and Livingstone College. He started all 13 games for the Hilltoppers in 2025, hauling in 55 passes for 888 yards and six touchdowns. He was named to the All-Conference USA second team. After going undrafted in April, he participated in rookie minicamps with the Titans and 49ers. The Bucs need help at the position to get through the final week of the preseason. Wideouts Emeka Egbuka (toe), Jalen McMillan (knee) and Tez Johnson (groin) all have missed practice time this week

Ted Hurst Taking Advantage of Receiver Absences
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Georgia State wide receiver Ted Hurst in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, potentially eyeing a big-bodied long-term replacement for franchise legend Mike Evans. In recent days, the Buccaneers' receiver depth chart has been thinned by injury, and Hurst has taken advantage of the opportunity to build chemistry with quarterback Baker Mayfield. With Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin Jr., and Jalen McMillan all absent from the team's last practice, and Tez Johnson exiting early with a groin strain, Hurst became Mayfield's go-to target according to team staff writer Brianna Dix, and head coach Todd Bowles spoke on their growing rapport. "Baker trusts him," he said of the rookie. "He knows he goes where he needs to go with the football. Ted was open at the right time, so we know he's got a good vertical, and he's got very good hands." The crowded depth chart in Tampa could still make consistent fantasy viability difficult to come by, but at RotoBaller's dynasty WR72, Hurst is a player well worth stashing with a future that will only be made brighter if he can continue to stack productive days in his first training camp
