Who steps up in Antonio Brown’s absence?

Well, we all feared this would happen. The Buccaneers don’t live or die by a single player, but a red-hot Antonio Brown would have soothed some of Bucs fans’ nerves before the matchup with the Packers. Now, Tom Brady will have to rely on the depth receivers after Ian Rapoport confirmed on Twitter that Brown is out for the contest.

When healthy, the Buccaneers have the best receiver trio in the NFL.
