CINCINNATI, Ohio — When Ja’Marr Chase finished Week 1 with just two catches in the Bengals’ 33-27 win vs. the Buccaneers, the noise was immediate. Coach Zac Taylor talked about getting him more involved.

Both the Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter Week 2 desperate to avoid an 0-2 start. The Browns are already looking up at every other team in the AFC North as Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Cincinnati each won last week.

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson explained his outlook on being starting quarterback as the team prepares for the Buccaneers.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers look healthy heading into their next matchup.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were defeated by the Cincinnati Bengals, 33-27 on the road to start the 2026 regular season. Defense: LB Josiah Trotter - 10 total tackles, 1.0 sack, 1 INT, 1 TD

The Buccaneers need a big win against the Browns in Week 2 and the following five players not named Baker Mayfield have to have good games if they want that to happen.

The first week of fantasy football is in the books, and for those who stream defenses, it's time to play the matchup game to determine your next start. Identifying the NFL's worst offenses is pivotal to this process, and two teams have emerged as targets thanks to lackluster quarterback play.

On Thursday for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Miles Killebrew (concussion) and Jacob Parrish (back) practiced in a limited capacity. Additionally, Jalen McMillan (knee) was a full participant for the second-consecutive day and defensive lineman A'Shawn Robinson had a veteran rest day.
