The Buccaneers may face Week 1 without Tristan Wirfs, Chris Godwin, and possibly Cade Otton. Otton’s new leg issue adds uncertainty beyond the hamstring injury that already jeopardizes his status. If Otton sits, Payne Durham would absorb the majority of Otton’s reps and Devin Culp could be a receiving threat in 2TE sets, keeping Tampa Bay’s offense functional but thinner at tight end.

fantasy managers should monitor practice updates as Bowles noted the timeline remains unclear. Durham would be the primary value play at tight end, with Culp offering deeper upside if he earns a larger role. This alignment could shift target shares and game plan in Bowles’ offense against Atlanta.
