Tampa Bay silenced McLaurin in the opener, but the standout roared back with a single-season franchise record 13 touchdowns to go with 1,096 yards and 82 receptions. One of Daniels’ targets, Crowder, is the only active player with a final designation of “questionable.” All other players are available.
That includes Dyami Brown, whose deep speed should be targeted against a Bucs secondary battling injuries. Of Tampa Bay’s five “questionable” players for Sunday, three are defensive backs, including safety Antoine Winfield and cornerback Jamel Dean. The Bucs are 25th in receptions of 20 or more yards allowed (54).
Washington needs its tackle trio of Daron Payne, Jonathan Allen and Johnny Newton to collapse the pocket on Mayfield and turn the inside into a collective brick wall against the Buccaneers’ running backs.
