Latest extracted insights

Kenneth GainwellPositiveNBC Sports Rotoworld
Gainwell, signed as a free agent, worked his way up to '1B' status with Irving during spring practices; offensive coordinator Robinson notes the two backs possess similar skill sets, and Gainwell could challenge for the starting role this summer or in-season. In his fifth NFL season with Pittsburgh, Gainwell broke out as PPR RB16. Including playoffs, his 77 receptions tie for third at the position. Among 32 RBs with 35+ targets, he ranks second in target rate (24.5%), seventh in YPRR (1.44) and catch rate (88.5%); among 45 RBs with 120+ rushing attempts, he ranks last in yards after contact per attempt (2.4) and first-down/TD rate (15.6%), with only 120 rushing attempts total, indicating elite pass-game efficiency but limited ground-game volume. Both Irving (5-foot-10, 195 pounds) and Gainwell (5-foot-9, 200 pounds) are undersized, making a committee approach sensible for the Buccaneers backfield.
Jalen McMillanNegativeNBC Sports Rotoworld
McMillan, competing for the open WR3 role, suffered a preseason neck injury in 2025 that sidelined him until Week 15. Over the final four weeks, he ranked sixth in team targets (15) while leading the group with 2.14 YPRR. Dating back to his Week 11, 2024 bye, McMillan has averaged 1.75 YPRR and 16.8 percent target rate, creating an uneven receiving profile. At 6-foot-1, 192 pounds, he possesses inside-outside versatility but does not fill the X-receiver void left by Mike Evans.
Chris GodwinPositiveNBC Sports Rotoworld
Godwin suffered a season-ending fibula fracture and ankle dislocation in Week 7, 2024, then returned Week 4, 2025 but was sidelined Weeks 6-12 with another fibula injury. His yards per route run dropped to 1.36 in 2025 from 2.36 in 2024. While he looked 'sharp' and 'smooth' at June OTAs, it is fair to wonder if he is best-suited to a complementary role at this point. He could end up as the team's top target earner, though finishing below Egbuka and another Buccaneers wide receiver is possible.
Bucky IrvingPositiveNBC Sports Rotoworld
Irving enters 2026 as the de facto starter after foot and shoulder injuries sidelined him Weeks 5-12 in 2025. Pre-injury, he was overall PPR RB9 in Weeks 1-4, ranking fifth in rushing attempts (71 among 33 RBs with 35+ attempts), fifth in targets (19 among 15 RBs with 15+ targets), ninth in target rate (20.9 percent), third in YPRR (2.12), and tying for first in catch rate (100.0 percent). He underwent shoulder surgery in February, resumed practicing in June, and told reporters he will be 'good to go' for training camp. He finished as overall PPR RB34 last year.
Nick VannettNegativeTurf Show Times
Vannett signed with the Seattle Seahawks on Friday ahead of their first training camp day after appearing in seven games with the Los Angeles Rams in 2025, including one snap in the wild card playoff game against Carolina. The tight end is a long shot to make Seattle's roster but could provide minor insights from his brief Rams tenure. This marks his ninth different team since being traded by Seattle to Pittsburgh in 2019, and he carries 1,012 career receiving yards across 10 seasons with zero catches in 2025.
