Stocker secured all three of his targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-23 loss to the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

The Bucs' tight ends had a particularly prominent presence Thursday, with the Rams sporting an aggresive pass rush and top-tier secondary. Stocker's three receptions equaled his season high, and the touchdown was notably his first since Week 3 of the 2012 season against the Cowboys and only the second of his career. The early-fourth-quarter end zone visit was well deserved, as it came a play after Stocker bailed out teammate Donteea Dye by recovering the rookie's fumble inside the Rams' five-yard line. Despite the modestly productive effort, Stocker is typically third on the tight end totem pole behind Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Cameron Brate in terms of looks from Jameis Winston
