*Peyton Barber – Noteworthy
RB Peyton Barber carried 18 times for 106 yards and a touchdown against the Giants.
Jameis Winston – Important
QB Jameis Winston will become the starter again for Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, the team announced Monday. Ryan Fitzpatrick has started the past three games for Bucs, but he threw three interceptions in Sunday’s loss to the New York Giants before being replaced by Winston. In five games this season, including three starts, Winston has thrown eight touchdown passes and 11 interceptions, and he has also lost one fumble.
Jason Pierre-Paul – Noteworthy
DE Jason Pierre-Paul had 1 1/2 sacks against his former team on Sunday.
Kendell Beckwith – Noteworthy – Injury
LB Kendell Beckwith will not be placed on the team’s 53-man roster in time for Wednesday afternoon’s deadline to activate him, meaning Beckwith won’t play this season. Beckwith suffered a broken ankle in a car accident back in April, an injury that required surgery. He opened the season on the non-football injury active list.
Mike Evans – Noteworthy
WR Mike Evans had six catches for 120 yards and a touchdown against the Giants.
O.J. Howard – Noteworthy – Injury
TE O.J. Howard, who injured his ankle on Sunday, is still being evaluated and his status for next Sunday against the 49ers is uncertain. Howard had five catches for 78 yards against the Giants. He has 565 receiving yards this season, fifth-most among NFL tight ends.
