Praise.

Joe has written more than a couple of times that Joe kicks himself in the backside (it’s a nice trick, actually) for not heeding Dirk Koetter’s words. (more…)

Waiting.

When a team is coming off a 5-11 record and virtually the entire football operation of the NFL team understands their employer has demonstrated little to no tolerance for coaches losing, one would hope early draft picks could impact a team (positively). (more…)

Man, Joe is baffled by the some of the mentalities on this Bucs football team, and now add candid offensive coordinator Todd Monken to the list after he delivered Joe a sleepless night following a take yesterday.

What the darn heck is going on around here? (more…)

In this edition of The Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast: Bucs Bulletin, Todd talks about the one man wearing a Tampa Bay Buccaneers uniform who will be drafted in every season-long fantasy draft on our planet. There’s only one. Mike Evans carries WR1 value in that second tier of wide receivers with a consensus ADP on a national level.

However, much like someone in Seattle will draft Russell Wilson over Aaron Rodgers and someone in Cincinnati will draft Joe Mixon over Leonard Fournette, you know there will be fantasy players in Tampa Bay reaching for Evans a round too early. After that, there does not appear to be another Buccaneers WR worth anything higher than your last non PK/DST selection.
