2026 Week 6 Fantasy Football: Bucs Injury Report — Baker Mayfield Out Again, Sean Tucker Questionable
Tampa Bay's injury report is a mess heading into Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, with major fantasy implications at QB and RB.
The Buccaneers' Week 6 injury report is ugly, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Offensive coordinator Zac Robinson confirmed Baker Mayfield will miss his third straight game with a dislocated right thumb. Running back Sean Tucker is listed as questionable with a quad injury. Safety Antoine Winfield (rib) and wide receiver David Sills (hamstring) are ruled out entirely. Cornerback Benjamin Morrison (quad) is doubtful.
Baker Mayfield
Mayfield is out — this is now confirmed as his third consecutive absence. The source story doesn't name his backup, so check your team's depth chart before making any moves. Tampa Bay pass-catchers lose significant value without their starting QB; treat any Bucs skill-position player as a strong fade in Week 6 until the starter under center is confirmed.
Sean Tucker
Tucker's questionable tag with a quad injury is the other major fantasy concern here. The source story doesn't detail his practice participation level beyond the questionable designation, so monitor Saturday's injury report for a clearer signal. Bucky Irving an and Kenny Gainwell will shoulder the full load.
The connection between these two injuries matters: a backup QB limiting the passing game already depresses Tampa Bay's entire offense. Tucker, even if he plays, is working in a compromised scheme. The Bucs' backfield is a low-floor situation in Week 6 regardless of how the questionable tags resolve.
