Tampa Bay Defense Stifles Browns

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense has been atrocious for the past few seasons. This game against the Browns where they held Baker Mayfield's crew to just 12 points may be a blip, but it should instill hope into at least the fan base. The secondary looked good for the first time in a long time, […]

Peyton Barber Quiet Throughout Preseason

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber has not done much to impress throughout the preseason. Although he came into camp as the team's lead back, he is seemingly losing hold on the job, even though his biggest competition, Ronald Jones II has not done much to take it away from him. Barber rushed three times for […]

Buy or Sell: Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 22

Today's piece covers a set of players who either should not be available on waivers or will return back there soon. Most of the earlier editions of this recurring buy or sell article have included several universally owned players whose values have been manipulated enough by early-season performances. Unfortunately, as we get deeper into the year, the […]

Tight End PPR Rankings for Fantasy Football Drafts

Tight ends are tricky in fantasy football. Due to the top-heavy nature of the position, it is typically best to either land one of the top few or to wait until the end of the draft to find one. An elite TE like Rob Gronkowski in years past can elevate your roster with his performances […]

Jameis Winston Struggles Behind Shaky Line

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston was roughed up Friday against the Browns. He finished the day 9-for-19 as he amassed 88 yards and no touchdowns. Winston getting sacked five times was a big reason as to why he struggled but, that should not take away from his indecision with the ball in his hands. There were […]

Chris Godwin As Impressive As Ever Throughout Preseason

Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin looked the part of a breakout stud against Cleveland. He caught for of his six passes for 52 yards and most impressively gained a good chunk after the catch. Godwin is eating out of the slot and looks to be a mismatch against nickel corners all season. He and quarterback […]

Ronald Jones II Inconsistent Versus Browns

Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II started off hot and then fizzled out in Friday's matchup against Cleveland. He carried the ball twice for 12 yards to start and then lost yardage on his next two carries. He was targeted once on a screen but had the play blown up by the defense and was […]

Ronald Jones II Battling Knee Swelling

Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (knee) has been hampered by a minor knee injury this week. During the Bucs' preseason matchup against the Dolphins last week, Jones II slipped on the soggy grass and overextended his leg during the opening kickoff. Although there is no structural damage, the slip may have led to the […]

Tanner Hudson Putting Up Numbers Through Two Games

Buccaneers tight end Tanner Hudson has 177 yards and two touchdowns through two preseason games. He leads the team in both categories along with receptions thus far and has been a pleasant surprise. Hudson is not exactly fighting for starting snaps anytime soon but could play himself into a depth role on the Bucs' final […]

Dare Ogunbowale Sees First-Team Work Sunday

Buccaneers running back Dare Ogunbowale saw first-team reps with Ronald Jones II (knee) out for the time being. The injury to Jones II is not seen as serious, but it is telling from Ogunbowale's recent workload that he is very likely to make the final 53-man roster as the third-string back. It would not be […]

Emanuel Hall Claimed by Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers claimed wide receiver Emanuel Hall off of waivers earlier this week. Hall had been with the Bears earlier but could not make it through camp. The Buccaneers present a solid opportunity given their lack of depth beyond starters Mike Evans and Chris Godwin along with Hall's fit in their new offense. […]

Cameron Brate Catches One Pass Friday

Buccaneers veteran tight end Cameron Brate was not very involved in this game but did manage to haul in his lone target for eight yards. Brate is the forgotten man on the Bucs, particularly due to the emergence of the former first-round tight end, O.J. Howard. Brate is still a capable TE who would start […]

Dare Ogunbowale Gets 16 Touches Friday

Buccaneers rookie running back Dare Ogunbowale rushed the ball 13 times for 36 yards and caught three passes for 54 yards Friday against the Dolphins. This was the second week in a row that Ogunbowale saw heavy usage and that could bode well for his chances of making the final 53-man roster. In week one, […]

Matt Gay Outperforming Cairo Santos in Preseason

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are having a competition between kickers Matt Gay and Cairo Santos. Thus far, neither has missed a kick, however, Gay has been presented more field goal opportunities and has not disappointed yet. Gay has hit from 48 and 55 yards while Santos has just one for 23 yards. Gay's ability to […]

Buccaneers Defense Not a Fantasy Option in 2019

This is fairly obvious given how poor the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense has been over the past few seasons, but it is still worth pointing out even with the Bucs additions throughout the offseason. They essentially replaced Gerald McCoy with Ndamukong Suh, Kwon Alexander with Devin White and upgraded their secondary with several mid-round defensive […]

Andre Ellington Fumbling Preseason Opportunities

Buccaneers running back Andre Ellington has carried the ball 10 times for just 24 yards and caught five passes for 20 yards throughout these past two preseason games. On top of disappointing yardage totals, he also fumbled away the ball on Friday against Miami. Ellington's disappointing showing thus far could play into whether he makes […]

Justin Watson Fairly Involved Throughout Preseason

Buccaneers wide receiver Justin Watson has seen seven and six targets through his first two preseason games. He totaled 37 yards on four catches week one and 22 yards on two catches in week two. Watson figures to replace Adam Humphries as the Buccaneers' slot receiver in 2019, but might not be as skilled as […]

Bruce Anderson Does Not Do Much With Four Touches Friday

Buccaneers rookie running back Bruce Anderson amassed three yards on three carries Friday and one catch that went for six yards. Anderson was a popular late-round dart throw in fantasy circles prior to the preseason but there has been hardly anything to work with through these first two games (one target and no other stats […]

Mike Evans Hardly Plays Against Dolphins

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was targeted just once Friday and ended the game without posting any stats. Evans did not dress for last week's preseason game but saw the field just a bit against Miami. He probably sees more than one drive next week given that the third week of preseason is historically the […]

O.J. Howard Only Targeted Twice Friday

Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard was targeted twice and hauled in one catch for 16 yards Friday against the Dolphins. This was only the second game of the preseason which makes sense as to why he was not heavily involved ankle injury cut his 2018 short and the last thing Tampa wants is for him […]

Breshad Perriman Reels in Just One Catch Friday

Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman saw two targets on Friday but only caught one for 11 yards. His other target was a deep shot which sailed over his head and into the end-zone. Can't blame him for not bringing that in but it is disappointing that there were not more opportunities for him on Friday. […]

Blaine Gabbert Doesn't Do Anything Wrong Against Steelers

Buccaneers quarterback Blaine Gabbert was decent against the Steelers on Friday. He went six-for-eight and accumulated 50 passing yards while starting most of the first half. Gabbert is set as Jameis Winston's backup going into the 2019 season but presents no fantasy value even if he has to take over for any reason. The only […]

Peyton Barber Runs Strong on Friday

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber had a solid showing in his first taste of preseason action in 2019. Barber amassed 18 yards on just three carries and caught one pass for four yards. He started the game but split rushing duties with Ronald Jones II and will presumably continue to do so into the season […]

Ronald Jones II Shows Signs of Life Against Steelers

Buccaneers second-year running back Ronald Jones II looked spry against the Steelers defense. Although he did not break out for any big runs, his attempts were productive. Jones II showed some of that wiggle he used to have back in college and is reportedly in much better shape than last season. He finished the day […]

Chris Godwin Done After Touchdown

Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin took over WR1 duties with Mike Evans sitting out Friday's preseason opener against the Steelers. Godwin caught both of his targets for 20 yards and a score. His touchdown catch was off of a bubble screen where he evaded would-be-tacklers on the perimeter on his way to the end-zone. His […]

Jameis Winston Done After One Drive

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston started Friday's preseason game against the Steelers and led them for just one series. Winston looked poised and made good decisions in his limited snaps. He went five-for-six and threw for 40 yards and one touchdown. Most impressively, Winston evaded two defenders and rolled out with his eyes downfield to convert […]
