Devin Culp A Full Participant In Thursday's Practice
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Devin Culp (ribs) was upgraded from a limited participant on Wednesday to a full participant on Thursday. His counterparts at tight end both went from DNP to limited participants, so Friday's practice statuses will determine a lot heading into their season finale. The rookie saw his biggest snap share of the year in Week 17 with Cade Otton (knee) sidelined. If any of the tight ends are forced to watch from the sidelines, Culp should see some extra snaps again after posting 52 yards and three catches against the Carolina Panthers.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie tight end Devin Culp (ribs) is on the team's Week 18 injury report and was listed as a limited participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Culp has only appeared in four games his rookie season, but his status is more important heading into the regular-season finale on Sunday versus the division-rival New Orleans Saints with both Cade Otton (knee) and Payne Durham (quadriceps) missing practice. The Bucs must win on Sunday to secure a playoff berth and the NFC South championship, so they won't be resting any players this weekend. Culp is probably only worth fantasy consideration as a DFS sleeper if both Otton and Durham are ruled out. The 24-year-old contributed for the first time all year in the Week 17 win over the division-rival Carolina Panthers, catching three of his four targets for 52 yards.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Devin Culp was able to make an impact on the field during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. The Bucs were without Cade Otton (knee), so Culp saw increased playing time. The rookie tight end hauled in three of his four targets for 53 yards in the win. This was the first time that Culp has been involved in the passing game this season. He finished with the third-most yardage in the receiving game during his Week 17 victory. Despite that, Culp is unlikely to carry much value going forward. Otton is going to be the starter once healthy and Culp will go back to being a depth option on this team.
