The offense for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the past few years has been at its best when there are three top wide receivers.

Mike Evans and Chris Godwin have generally been the go-to options as the one and two, but the third guy has shifted to varied success. 

Antonio Brown was great. Russell Gage was mediocre. With Gage out for this year, Trey Palmer looks like the next man up, and the Bucs need to find a way to get him more involved to keep this offense rolling.

Trey Palmer was an absolute stud for the Buccaneers during the preseason.

Between being the only consistent guy between the depth pieces to making jaw-dropping plays on a regular basis even with the starters on the field, Palmer was able to prove that he can make a difference at the NFL level.

Despite scoring a touchdown in Week 1 against the Vikings, Palmer doesn't feel like he has officially transitioned to the regular season just yet.

This isn't due to any shortcomings on his end, the Bucs simply have to use him more as the season goes on.

Five targets through two games isn't enough for a guy like Palmer-even if Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are soaking up most of the targets.

David Wells and Ko Kieft don't make this offense run. Big-play threats like Palmer are going to be the difference-makers.

If the Bucs want to keep their winning streak alive and make the most of offensive reps against good defenses that will key in on Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, getting Palmer more involved and used to his role as the WR3 will be key.
