The Vindicators 2 acquired Marvin Harrison in a trade, while ParagonOfChaos received Chris Bell, Ted Hurst, and a 2027 1st round pick
With training camp just around the corner, the Buccaneers are embarking on a new journey. They went through a lot of changes this offseason from the coaching staff to the roster. With a lot of change comes a lot of questions. Let’s take a look at some of the biggest questions the Bucs have to find their answer for in 2026. This is possibly the most crucial question needing to be answered. Through the first six weeks of the 2025 season, Baker Mayfield looked like an MVP candidate, and he was backing it up. Tampa Bay was 5-1 and Mayfield was dominating even without some of the Bucs top weapons available to him. However, as good as those first six games were, the second half came and Mayfield’s played dipped. Was he the sole reason the Bucs collapsed late in the year? No, but he was a leading cause in some of those losses. Mayfield’s play in 2026 also has long term implications as it could determine his fate with the team beyond this season. He is scheduled to be a free agent after this year so it is safe to say this could really swing two drastically different ways. If Mayfield bounces back, Tampa Bay likely turns back into a playoff team who could be dangerous in January. If he doesn’t, the Bucs could look to hit the reset button on this entire thing. So which version of Baker will they get this fall? Soon enough they will have their answer and depending on what it is, the future of the franchise could look a lot different. Wide receiver Mike Evans left Tampa Bay in free agency for the San Francisco 49ers in a move that left Bucs fan’s hearts broken. It is understandable, Evans has been a Tampa staple since he was drafted in 2014. He is the best offensive player in franchise history and arguably the best player in franchise history. So with him no longer in the picture, how do the Bucs replace that production? They did add to the room this offseason, drafting Ted Hurst who they hope can be a X receiver for them but the expectations for the third-round pick are obviously not to replace Evans, but it may signal that the Bucs are looking to do this by committee. Tampa Bay’s receiver room is still pretty deep despite such a talented player leaving. Chris Godwin is another year removed from a major injury and hopefully has knocked the rust off. Emeka Egbuka is entering year two after a rookie season with lots of highs but also some lows. Perhaps a big x factor for them is the return of Jalen McMillan , who missed most of the 2025 season with a neck injury is back healthy and looking to build on the flashes he has shown. So can the Bucs replace Evans one for one? Probably not and that’s okay, they have plenty of depth and plenty of ways to attack defenses this fall. Let me state the obvious… the Buccaneers defense in 2025 was not good and at times was downright embarrassing. The coaching staff knew it. The front office knew it. This offseason they decided to try and do something about it. Now I did mention the coaching staff and make no mistake, Todd Bowles and his staff have to do a better job of getting this defense better prepared to play but they also needed more talent. This offseason the Bucs said goodbye to another legend as Lavonte David retired. They looked to replace David by signing veteran and former Detroit Lion Alex Anzalone as well as depth player Christian Rozeboom and to top it all off they drafted Jeremiah Trotter Jr out of Missouri in the second round of the NFL draft. The reworked linebacker room should hopefully be improved but it was the overall front seven that needed improvement, not just one unit. To address the trenches, they added another veteran in A’Shawn Robinson to add some size up front, and they signed Al Quadin Muhammad from Detroit and drafted Rueben Bain Jr after he fell into their laps in the first round of the draft. With these additions as well as continued development from players like Yaya Diaby , Calijah Kancey , Tykee Smith and Zyon McCollum as well as others, they hope to form a mu [... truncated ...]
This article explores how to leverage Average Draft Position (ADP) data from best ball platforms like Underdog to find value in dynasty startup drafts. It highlights players whose best ball ADP significantly outpaces their dynasty ADP, suggesting they are undervalued in dynasty formats. Four specific players are identified as targets, with the analysis focusing on their potential to outperform their current dynasty valuation
Baker Mayfield’s take on his contract situation was the juiciest bit of information to come out of his first media session of the offseason, but he also had a chance to weigh in on a significant change to the team’s receiving corps. Mike Evans left for the 49ers as a free agent and Mayfield said that there’s no way to sugarcoat that it is “disappointing to not have him back” for the 2026 season. Mayfield then pivoted to praising Chris Godwin’s leadership of a receiving corps and expressing confidence in a group that also includes Jalen McMillan, Emeka Egbuka, Tez Johnson, and third-round pick Ted Hurst. “To also have J-Mac, Chris and Emeka really, really healthy right now , feeling good — to lead those guys and just to watch the steps from Year 1 to Year 2 when it comes to Meck and Tez and watching them help Ted Hurst out as well,” Mayfield said, via Jenna Laine of ESPN.com. “There’s a lot of weapons in that room. And so when you lose a guy like that, you got to have a lot of people fill those shoes, not just one person and we have that.” If the Bucs don’t sign Mayfield to an extension ahead of the season, his performance with that group of wideouts will likely determine whether there’s an appetite for continuing the relationship in Tampa. If that appetite does not develop, the Bucs could be looking at another significant change next offseason
For the first time since 2013, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prepare to play a season without six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Evans, but local media member Scott Reynolds believes the adjustment could go just fine, in part due to the versatility of third-year professional Jalen McMillan. McMillan was a fantasy league-winner down the stretch of his 2024 rookie season, and while a scary preseason neck injury limited him to only four games in 2025, he again topped 100 receiving yards in Week 17. Reynolds believes his ability to play all three receiver spots could lead to similar results across his 2026 campaign. With Zac Robinson arriving from the Falcons as the new offensive coordinator, Tampa will likely see fewer three-receiver sets after deploying 11-personnel at the league's second-highest rate in 2025, and with Emeka Egbuka unlikely to leave the field with any regularity in his second season, a potential rotation between McMillan, Chris Godwin Jr., and 2026 third-round pick Ted Hurst could make those 100-yard performances difficult to predict. As such, McMillan projects as a more useful piece in best ball formats, but at RotoBaller's dynasty WR71, there is still potential to land him well below his actual value with an opportunity for him to see a larger-than-expected workload
After racking up nearly 2,000 receiving yards over his final two collegiate seasons at Georgia State, wide receiver Ted Hurst was selected in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Hurst is thought of as a true X receiver, which could make him the long-term replacement for former Bucs wideout Mike Evans. However, Hurst's immediate path to playing time could be blocked off in Tampa Bay. Entering training camp, Buccaneers wide receivers Chris Godwin Jr., Emeka Egbuka, Jalen McMillan, and Tez Johnson could all be ahead of Hurst on the team's depth chart. If there's a positive for fantasy managers to take away from Hurst landing in Tampa Bay, it's that the organization has done an excellent job of developing young receivers in recent seasons. Hurst carries some upside in dynasty leagues, but dynasty managers should temper their expectations for his 2026 production following the NFL Draft
Rookie third-round wide receiver Ted Hurst has been labeled a "true X" receiver by new Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Zac Robinson. With Mike Evans gone, Hurst, a 6-foot-4, 206-pound receiver with 4.42 speed from Georgia State, is expected to compete for the WR3 role, potentially behind Chris Godwin Jr. and Emeka Egbuka, and is seen as a more intriguing long-term prospect than Jalen McMillan
The Buccaneers have signed third-round wide receiver Ted Hurst and 14 undrafted free agents, leaving only second-round linebacker Josiah Trotter unsigned from their draft class. Hurst joins a receiving corps with Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, and Jalen McMillian
Adds: Ted Hurst
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have selected WR Ted Hurst with the No. 84 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Hurst will add some size to the Bucs wide receiver room following the departure of Mike Evans. He showed the ability at Georgia State to be able to win 50/50 balls thrown his way. He could have an immediate role as a deep threat in Tampa Bay
The Buccaneers selected Hurst in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 84th overall. Hurst probably fell this far out of plain-old bias against small-school players, and if so the Buccaneers should consider themselves lucky that the Georgia State star fell to them in the third round. He's big at 6-foot-4, 206 pounds and has the long-range speed (4.42-second 40) to thrive as a downfield-oriented 'X' receiver. The Buccaneers lost Mike Evans this offseason, but Hurst really does pose a similar dynamic, comparing more closely yet to Nico Collins
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have selected Georgia State wide receiver prospect Ted Hurst with the 84th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He contributed during both of his seasons in the Sun Belt Conference, totaling 127 catches for 1,965 yards and 15 touchdowns. This is more of a developmental selection for the Bucs, as Hurst has a history of drops and may deal with some adversity while adjusting to the NFL style of play. With that said, he has impressive upside in a Bucs offense that loves spreading the ball around to multiple receivers. Presumably, Hurst will have a chance to immediately compete for the No. 4 receiver role behind Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin Jr., and Jalen McMillan. He's the overall WR90 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings
