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.

Buccaneers' Ko Kieft: Goes untargeted in win
Ko Kieft went without a target while playing 17 of 74 snaps on offense in Tampa Bay's 30-12 win over Jacksonville.A week after cashing in on his first reception of the season for a two-yard touchdown in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 34-20 win over the Packers, Kieft's involvement as a pass catcher predictably dropped off. Kieft has been active for all 15 of Tampa Bay's games this season, but he's logged just five total targets while functioning mainly as a blocker during his time on the field.
