Amecha Ibuku came out gang busters... he slowed down late... are we sure he's the number one? Are we sure it's not Chris Godwin?...Zack Robinson said that he's going to play him as the Z receiver, which in this system will essentially like alternate between outside off the and in the slot... I just think that's a much better fit for a mecha I bua than how much outside on ball stuff you played last year.

Z receiver role change improves fit; potential WR1 production upside.

Matt Harmon notes that Mecole Hardman came out strong early in the season but slowed down late, raising questions about whether he is the clear WR1 for Tampa Bay given competition from Chris Godwin and Jaylen McMillan. However, new offensive coordinator Zack Robinson will play Hardman as the Z receiver with motion versatility, alternating between outside and slot. This role change is a much better fit than his outside on-ball usage last year, positioning him to flirt with WR1 production despite variables beyond the role change.
