Early 2019 Breakouts - Tight End
As the 2019 NFL season and all the fantasy football-related stuff that comes with it approaches, you're going to eventually have to wade into the muck that is the tight end position.

The Rotoballer crew recently finished up an early mock draft. As with every draft, there are going to be instances of guys going too early or too late. This is all about those guys that we got a little too overzealous on when we grabbed them. You could have got them in the next round […]

Jason Pierre-Paul Could Return In October
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that the best-case scenario could involve defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (neck) returning to the team in October. But that's only if JPP doesn't require surgery to stabilize the cervical fracture he suffered in a car accident in May. Last week, Arians said the timeline for Pierre-Paul could […]

Mike Evans Sits Out With Hamstring Injury
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) sat out all three days of minicamp this week with a tweaked hamstring, but he was jogging on the side with trainers. "No sense in aggravating it this time of year," head coach Bruce Arians said. Evans, 25, will be fine for training camp and will once […]
Jameis Winston Talks Up Scott Miller
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston said that rookie wide receiver Scott Miller has been excellent in practice this week. He's very quick and fast and could be an option in three-wide sets in 2019. He'll mainly be battling Breshad Perriman behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, but Miller has great speed that could help […]
Burning Fantasy Football Questions - NFC South
Our advance Divisional series on Burning Questions for the 2019 Fantasy Football season continues with issues that must be considered in the NFC South.

Jameis Winston Talks Up Ronald Jones II
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston has liked what he's seen from running back Ronald Jones II so far in organized team activities. "I would say RoJo has been showing out. His confidence, his comfort, RoJo's a smart guy. He's getting comfortable in this offense. No one is breathing down his neck. He's more relaxed […]
Breshad Perriman Out With Shoulder Injury
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman (shoulder) has been missing organized team activities due to a shoulder injury from two weeks ago. Perriman, 25, was a first-round bust with the Ravens but resurfaced with Cleveland in 2018 and now has a big opportunity to make some noise in Tampa in an improving offense under […]
Tight End Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis (May 2019)
It used to be that we ignored the tight end position until the middle rounds of a draft. Now, it's not uncommon to see a name like Kelce in the first round and not bat an eyelash, while Ertz and Kittle are guaranteed to be taken within the top 30 picks. In best-ball leagues, you […]

Kyler Murray Is a QB1 in 2019 Redraft Leagues
For reasons that are completely understandable, the primary focus on rookies after they are drafted is on their long-term outlook, particularly as it pertains to keeper/dynasty formats. Much of the discussion centers around where a rookie should go in a rookie draft and how valuable he will be over the next few years. What about […]
Start of a Dynasty - Expert Mock Draft Review
I’ll be honest, playing re-draft leagues for years can give an avid fantasy footballer tunnel-vision. You tend to look for the immediate impact of a player. In Dynasty leagues, you have to have a different mindset (except for Frank Gore who’ll play for another 10 years with at least 200 touches each time). Just after […]
Quarterback Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis (May 2019)
Quarterback has to be approached differently in best-ball as opposed to re-draft leagues. Whereas in most competitive leagues, you can get away with drafting one quarterback and streaming throughout the year if necessary, you don't have that luxury in a draft-only format. Bye weeks, injuries, and flat-out bad play must be accounted for during the […]

Buccaneers Claim Jordan Leggett Off Waivers

Cameron Brate On Track For Training Camp

Bucs Replace Gerald McCoy With Ndamukong Suh
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers cut defensive tackle Gerald McCoy this week and signed free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh to replace him. McCoy was the third overall pick in 2010, while Suh was the second overall selection in the same draft. McCoy has six Pro Bowl selections to Suh's five and 54.5 sacks in 123 games […]
Breshad Perriman Has Big Opportunity In Tampa
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman, who was a bust as a first-round pick for the Ravens due to injury and dropped passes, brings a size and speed combination to his new team. His 4.3 speed should provide quarterback Jameis Winston with another downfield option in head coach Bruce Arians' offense. Perriman and Winston […]
Devin White Is The Real Deal
Tampa Bay Buccaneers inside linebacker Devin White, the fifth overall pick in the draft, looks like a stud already in offseason workouts. White picked off quarterback Jameis Winston in 11-on-11 drills in practice last week and is a good bet to win Defensive Rookie of the Year, in the opinion of the Pewter Report's Scott […]
