TE Cade Otton. With Mike Evans sidelined by injury, the defense will focus on rookie WR Emeka Egbuka and veteran Chris Godwin. Otton has 26 catches for 207 yards and three touchdowns in five games that Evans has missed.

Kenneth Walker III. The fourth-year running back had his second-best rushing performance of the season in last week’s win against the Cardinals, rushing for 81 yards while adding a 29-yard catch. He’ll be hard-pressed to repeat that feat, though, against Tampa Bay’s top-10 rushing defense.

Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba vs. Buccaneers CB Zyon McCollum. In a banged-up secondary, the Buccaneers are counting on McCollum, their highest-paid cornerback, to limit Smith-Njigba. McCollum played every snap last week against the Eagles and helped hold A.J. Brown to two catches for 7 yards.

Buccaneers: WR Mike Evans (hamstring) isn’t expected to play. Mayfield (knee/biceps), RB Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder), CB Jamel Dean (hip), NT Greg Gaines (pec), DB Christian Izien (quad), CB Benjamin Morrison (hamstring), WR Sterling Shepard (foot) and S Tykee Smith (ankle) didn’t practice Wednesday. ... TE Ko Kieft (leg) and G Cody Mauch (knee) were lost for the season. ... RT Luke Goedeke (foot) is on injured reserve.

Seahawks: S Nick Emmanwori (ankle) and WR Cody White (shoulder), neither of whom has played since Week 1, were both full participants during Wednesday’s practice. T Josh Jones (ankle), DE Demarcus Lawrence (quadricep), S Julian Love (hamstring) and CB Devon Witherspoon (knee) did not participate.

The Buccaneers have won five of their past seven games in the series. ... Seattle won four straight, and seven of eight games, to begin the series back in 1976. ... The Seahawks most recently beat the Buccaneers in 2019, in a 40-34 overtime victory. Russell Wilson tied a career high with five touchdowns in that game.

Give Godwin a start, or at the very least pick him up off the waiver wire and stash him on your bench. Considering the rash of injuries Tampa Bay has on offense, Baker Mayfield is looking for a solid No. 2 receiving option outside of rookie wideout Emeka Egbuka.
