There will be a competition between Tampa Bay Buccaneers kickers Ryan Succop, the incumbent, and second-year man Jose Borregales in training camp and the preseason.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie tight end Cade Otton (ankle) was just a spectator at mandatory minicamp while he recovers from an ankle injury that ended his season early last year, but he's expected to be healthy and ready for the start of training camp in July. The hope is that he can develop into a […]

They Picked Who?? Teams That Surprised Us in 2022 NFL Draft

There are good surprises and bad surprises. The 2022 NFL Draft did not disappoint in both regards. The New York Jets surprised us by actually making solid choices throughout the draft.

Wide Receiver Risers: 2022 Fantasy Football ADP Analysis - Van Jefferson, Jakobi Meyers, Marquez Valdes-Scantling

As you may know, the Average Draft Position (ADP) indicates the average position where a player is drafted over more than one fantasy football draft. You can consider it as the price you have to pay to draft and get a player on your team. A high ADP (that is actually a low-numbered ADP) means […]

Is Zero RB a Viable Strategy in 2022?

Maybe the most controversial draft strategy in a redraft league is the idea that you want to wait until the 5th or 6th Round before you draft a running back. This concept gained traction after Shawn Siegele perfected it in 2013 by continuing to hammer the value at wide receiver and grabbing running backs with […]

One-Man Backfields to Target in Fantasy Football Drafts - Running Back Workehorses

We're talking about fantasy football here, and in fantasy, volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team. While everything boils down to that concept, seeking volume calls for looking deeper than just the name and reputation of players.

This is one of the best times to draft for best-ball leagues, especially big tournaments like the FFPC Best Ball Tournament with a $200k prize! Rookies are being overhyped and are still overvalued.

Deven Thompkins Has Impressed Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Deven Thompkins has reportedly impressed head coach Todd Bowles during recent practices. "He's quick, he's fast, he's explosive off of the ball, and he's made some good catches," said Bowles. Thompkins recorded 102 receptions for 1,704 yards and ten touchdowns in his final season at Utah State. The ability is […]

The expectation is that Gage […]

The Deepest Dive - TE Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

Can you name every fantasy league you played in last season? Probably not. But can you think of their average structure? The most probable question is yes because most leagues are often comprised of eight to 12 teams with 15 roster spots each and use the now-standard PPR format of scoring. That is not always the […]

Stack 'Em: Teams and Players with Favorable Early Schedules

As fantasy football managers and DFS players, it is easy to get caught up in all the noise that is out there. But looking at the season quantitatively and logically helps too.

Russell Gage In An Important Role With New Team

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady said that wide receiver Russell Gage is in a very important role in a pass-heavy offense and has a great opportunity ahead of him in 2022.

Players With Misleading Numbers Worth Drafting - Jameis Winston, Christian McCaffrey, Michael Gallup

When it comes down to facing a fantasy draft, two numbers are often the most sought after by fantasy GMs: current ADP and overall rank from the prior season. No matter how experienced fantasy players are, those two numbers are thought of as the ultimate all-encompassing representations of every football player's value. Knowing what he […]

Overvalued Backup Running Backs - Rhamondre Stevenson, Alexander Mattison, Travis Etienne

Who doesn't love to draft a player late and see him blossom into a league winner? That can often be the case with running back handcuffs covering for starters that fall down to injury or enter the season holding out. Drafting a no. 2 running back late, or even getting him from waivers close to […]

Leonard Fournette Puts On Some Weight

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette made his first appearance of the offseason at practice on Tuesday and looked to be a little heavy while struggling in the heat and dropping a few passes. However, head coach Todd Bowles said Fournette looked fine, especially considering he wasn't at the team's previous offseason workouts. The […]

Buccaneers Optimistic Rob Gronkowski Will Return

Free-agent tight end Rob Gronkowski remains unsigned and isn't expected to sign before mandatory minicamps from June 7-9, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are optimistic that he will re-sign before training camp begins in late July.

Cheap But Good QB-WR-TE Stacks in Redraft

When it comes to daily fantasy football, stacking players from the same team and offense on concrete weeks is a sound strategy. That is why elite DFS folks out there use that plan on a weekly basis. Data shows how around 80% of the best DFS results come from squads that stacked at least two […]

Akiem Hicks Agrees With Buccaneers

Former Chicago Bears defensive lineman Akiem Hicks reached an agreement on Tuesday on a one-year deal worth up to $10 million with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to a source.

Chris Olave NFL Rookie Profile - Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Outlook

With the 2022 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, it's time to think about how various rookies are going to fit with their new teams. The Saints used the 11th pick in the draft on Ohio State wide receiver Chris Olave, taking him just one pick after the Jets took his former college teammate, Garrett […]

Best Wide Receiver Stacks for 2022

Sometimes we're afraid of putting together players from the same team on our rosters, let alone weekly lineups. To a certain extent, that makes sense: the opportunities one gets will take away from the opportunities the other could have gotten. Why limit the fantasy upside of our team with two receivers playing in the same offense […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Travis Jonsen, who is competing for a backup spot on the 53-man roster, was arrested early Monday morning on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence.

Buy the Dip: Allen Robinson Bounce Back Is Coming

Players fall off in fantasy football all the time. Age and a decline in talent catches up to all players, except Tom Brady. When a player is coming off of his worst season, especially when it's a player's eighth year in the NFL, it is easy to say he has fallen off.  You may have […]
