He earned his first career start in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' season opener against the Atlanta Falcons and finished the 31-24 victory with three catches for 34 receiving yards and one carry for seven rushing yards. On September 25, 2016, Humphries caught a season-high nine passes for 100 receiving yards in a 32-37 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. It was the first game with over 100 receiving yards of his career.

On December 18, 2016, Humphries caught two passes for 49 yards and caught a season-long 42 yard touchdown reception against the Dallas Cowboys.[9] In Week 17, against the Carolina Panthers, Humphries had a career-high 10 receptions for 94 yards.
