Buccaneers' Antonio Brown (ankle) suspended 3 games for COVID violation
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown has been suspended three games without pay for violating NFL-NFLPA COVID-19 protocols.
What It Means:
Brown and Buccaneers defensive back Mike Edwards have both been suspended for three games, making them ineligible until Week 16. Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Rob Gronkowski will continue commanding targets from Tom Brady while Brown is out. The Buccaneers are facing the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13.
numberFire's models project Godwin to lead the Buccaneers with 9.1 targets on Sunday, followed by Evans (8.4) and Gronk (6.2). The Falcons have the sixth-worst pass defense in the NFL, per our schedule-adjusted team rankings.
