The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are hosting the Baltimore Ravens to close out the team's preseason games before the regular season rolls around.

Baker Mayfield will be the team's starter come the regular season, but for the preseason finale, all three quarterbacks will receive snaps. However, for Mayfield and the rest of the starters to be able to prepare this week knowing who's on the first team will be beneficial come regular season.

With the naming of a starting quarterback, the battle was put to rest at a good time, as now each quarterback knows their role and can properly use this game to prepare for meaningful football.

The Buccaneers have played two preseason games, starting with a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers before taking down the New York Jets.

Trey Palmer is a player to watch, as he's shown some promise so far throughout preseason. Russell Gage was supposed to be the team's WR3, but his injury will sideline him for the season and Palmer could just be the guy to step up in his absence.

Last preseason game, the sixth-round draft pick caught a 33-yard touchdown. He also caught a touchdown alongside his four receptions in the first preseason game. No matter who is under center, Palmer will be a player to keep an eye on.

With no confirmation of starters playing, RB2 Sean Tucker is another intriguing player for this matchup. BucsGameday's Ben Meyerson reported that during a 'move the ball' period, Tucker shared first-team snaps alongside Rachaad White.

While it likely doesn't mean much, it's just another storyline to watch heading into regular season play in just a couple of weeks.
