Best and Worst Rated Bucs Offensive Players vs. Commanders

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers haven’t done anything drastic to improve their offense from last season. Some tinkering with the offensive line and adding some skill players for depth were the only real steps the Bucs made, aside from keeping key players Mike Evans, Baker Mayfield and Tristan Wirfs.

The notable aspect of the Bucs’ offense that is different from a year ago is the coordinator position after former offensive coordinator Dave Canales left to take the head coaching job at Carolina, clearing the way for Liam Coen to become the team’s next OC.

Coen did not disappoint in his first game leading the Buccaneers offense. Baker Mayfield and his teammates put up fantastic stats, totaling 37 points.

Below, we’ve highlighted the Bucs’ best and worst rated players by Pro Football Focus (PFF) who gained from their upset win over the Commanders.
