Buccaneers vs. Jaguars Key Player to Watch

Kameron Johnson, Wide Receiver, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Buccaneers know who their top wide receivers are going to be this season, but Kameron Johnson is looking to earn a spot down the depth chart.

The third-year pro played in just five games in his rookie season before suiting up in all 17 games last year. He caught four of seven targets for 64 yards and a touchdown, with all four catches coming against the 49ers.

Buccaneers vs. Jaguars Prediction and Pick

Preseason football is usually about team depth, and especially so when neither squad will be playing their starters.

The Bucs have already won both of their preseason games while the Jags struggled last time out. I’ll back Tampa Bay to win this one and cover in its preseason finale.

Pick: Buccaneers -3 (-110)
