5 Tampa Bay players to watch in Week 16

Like Evans, Vea, and Wirfs, safety Antoine Winfield Jr. became an impact for the Buccaneers in his first season and is still one of the team’s top players.

Winfield is having a career-best season with 107 total tackles, four sacks, five forced fumbles, two picks, and 11 deflected passes. He can get pressure on Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence or backup C.J. Beathard, break up passes over the middle of the field, or help slow Travis Etienne Jr. and the run game.

Lawrence or Beathard may opt to throw away from Winfield, but he’s not an easy player to avoid.
