5 Players to Watch in Ravens-Buccaneers, Week 8
Here are the players to watch for the Ravens' Week 8 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
![QB Lamar Jackson
After starting the season hot against the blitz, Lamar Jackson has cooled against different variations of it in recent weeks. The Ravens need to get their passing game humming again, and now Jackson goes against a defense ranked No. 7 overall that likes to blitz a lot.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/ravens/kmoq5krfplx3osgfvy9a.jpg)

![CB Pepe Williams
Williams played 62% of the snaps against the Browns as the third cornerback. The third corner is particularly important against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers because he's so adept at reading defenses and attacking the weakest link.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/ravens/k438critbeg5hmvv03vt.jpg)

![CB Marlon Humphrey
Humphrey will have the challenge of going against one of the NFL's premier wide receivers in Mike Evans, who has eight 1,000-yard seasons in eight years in the league. Evans dropped an easy, long touchdown pass last week and he'll be looking to atone for that on Thursday Night Football.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/ravens/bhw8x35yresvu9eceekg.jpg)

The Bucs run defense is their weak spot, as they rank tied for 16th in the league. The Carolina Panthers running backs D'Onte Foreman and Chubba Hubbard combined for 181 rushing yards against them last week. The "Gus Bus" got rolling against the Browns in Edwards' debut, and now it could be ready for more that it's warmed up.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/ravens/zbeiziknzm77txsiinmg.jpg)

![C Tyler Linderbaum
The Ravens' rookie center has gotten off to a good start, but now he'll face his biggest (literally) test yet. Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea is a monster standing in at 6-foot-4, 347 pounds and he leads the Bucs with 3.5 sacks. This will be a test of Linderbaum's ability to overcome a size disadvantage.](https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_new_photo_album/t_lazy/f_auto/ravens/afrxzmm2fk6jbtmjdmqj.jpg)
