Buccaneers' Ko Kieft: Seeing few snaps behind Otton
Ko Kieft went without a target while playing six of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 82 snaps on offense in Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens.With Cade Otton dominating the snaps at tight end for the Buccaneers through the first seven weeks, Kieft nor the team's other depth options at the position have been able to carve out much playing time. Though Kieft has suited up in all seven of the Bucs' contests, the six snaps he played Monday represented a season high.

Ko Kieft (ankle) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.Kieft opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to an ankle injury he sustained in Week 3 against the Broncos. The 2022 sixth-round pick has given himself a chance at playing Sunday after practicing in a limited capacity Friday.

Buccaneers' Ko Kieft: Barely sees action Sunday
Ko Kieft did not see any targets in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday.Kieft wasn't even deployed as a blocker as much as he typically was in former coordinator Dave Canales' offense, with all but two of his 18 total snaps Sunday coming on special teams. Even if he does end up seeing an uptick in playing time on offense in coming weeks, Kieft is expected to remain a distant third pass-catching option at tight end behind Cade Otton and Payne Durham.

Buccaneers' Ko Kieft: Quiet in second season
Ko Kieft brought in one of five targets for a two-yard touchdown reception while playing in 16 regular-season and two postseason games for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2023.Kieft once again served almost exclusively as a blocking tight end, but to an even greater extent than he did during his rookie 2022 campaign, when he posted a 7-80-1 receiving line on 10 targets. The 26-year-old's only stats from scrimmage came in the Buccaneers' Week 15 win over the Packers. Kieft should occupy the same role and continue to also contribute to multiple special-teams units during his third season with Tampa Bay in 2024.
