Buccaneers Defense Produces Solid Day

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense had a solid showing for fantasy purposes in a 47-7 win over the Detroit Lions. Tampa Bay compiled four sacks and an interception, as they only allowed 7 points to a Lions' offense that was hot coming into the contest. Linebacker Devin White had a team-high 10 tackles, along with […]

Ryan Succop Has Shaky Day In Victory

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop missed his lone field-goal attempt and two of seven extra points in a 47-7 win over the Detroit Lions. Succop had been steady on point-after attempts before this contest, which made his misses all the more peculiar. Still, the veteran kicker has enjoyed one of the better seasons of […]

Rob Gronkowski Hauls In Two Scores In Big Win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski had arguably his most fruitful game of the season in a 47-7 win over Detroit. Oddly enough, Gronkowski only saw two targets but caught both for touchdowns, with the first a beautiful toss from Tom Brady into the big, tight end's outstretched hands for a 33-yard score. The […]

Antonio Brown Catches Another Touchdown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown caught a touchdown for the second straight game in a 47-7 win over the Lions. Brown caught a rocket pass from Tom Brady in the back of the end zone, his second straight touchdown catch. The former All-Pro wideout has been a key cog in the offense since […]

Chris Godwin Compiles 84 Yards And A Touchdown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin hauled in five of nine targets for 84 receiving yards and a touchdown in a blowout win over the Lions. Godwin was far more productive in terms of his yardage numbers this week, as the 84 yards were the most he's had since before the bye week. The […]

Mike Evans Has Monster Game Against Lions

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans caught 10 of 12 targets for a season-high 181 receiving yards and two touchdowns in a 47-7 win over Detroit. Evans was at his best in this one, as evidenced by his first-quarter, 27-yard touchdown, where he turned Lions' corner Darryl Roberts the other way on his route. […]

Leonard Fournette Finds The End Zone In Blowout Victory

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette carried the ball nine times for 34 rushing yards and a touchdown in a 47-7 win over the Lions. Fournette added three receptions for 32 receiving yards, as he found the end zone for the third time in the past two contests. His 3.8 yards per carry were […]

Tom Brady Dices Lions Up For 348 Yards And Four Scores

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady completed 22 of 27 passes for 348 yards and four touchdowns in a blowout win over the Lions. Brady was so dominant that he was rested for the entire second half with the Buccaneers comfortably in front. The veteran signal-caller averaged an absurd 12.9 yards per attempt en route […]

Blaine Gabbert Replaces Tom Brady In Second Half

Tampa Bay Buccaneers backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert replaced Tom Brady under center to begin the second half of Saturday's game against the Lions with the Bucs already up 34-0 going into the second half. Gabbert promptly hit tight end Rob Gronkowski for a touchdown on his first attempt of the game to put Tampa up […]

Buccaneers Defense Takes Field Saturday Without Carlton Davis

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Lions, leaving an opening at the top corner spot for the Buccaneers Defense. Davis made a season-high nine tackles last week prior to his departure due to the groin ailment, but Ryan Smith is now expected to step into […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) did not practice on Friday but was not on the team's final Week 16 injury report against the Lions.

Carlton Davis To Be A Game-Time Decision

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that cornerback Carlton Davis (groin) will be a game-time decision for Week 16 against the Lions on Saturday.
