Dirk Koetter speaks

A short-yardage thorn in the buttocks of many Buccaneers fans was addressed by winning head coach Dirk Koetter this evening. (more…)

Out

The Vikings may be down starting quarterback Sam Bradford, but it appears the Bucs could be without a few starters Sunday. (more…)

Bucs killer Case Keenum will start for the Vikings on Sunday.

Wipe the drool from your chins, Bucs fans.

Case Keenum has carved up the Bucs while quarterbacking for the Rams in 2015 and 2016. And he will start for the Vikings on Sunday. Sam Bradford officially was ruled out for the game.

Keenum, 29, with 25 career starts, should be playing with plenty of confidence (even if it’s misguided) and he’s clearly capable.

Quality TV entertainment.

Earlier today, Joe brought word from good guy Peter Schrager of NFL Network that the Bucs are the most watchable team on TV for a variety of reasons. (more…)

Encouraging words

The Buccaneers’ great wall of silence on Doug Martin now has a crack in it. (more…)

Impressed rookie

In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Irma, the Bucs planned to have their Tuesday night reunion walk-through in the not-yet-finished indoor practice facility at One Buc Palace. (more…)

Wants to watch the Bucs.

So there is a made-for-TV team to watch when fans are surfing the NFL Sunday Ticket or when they are in their favorite watering hole Sunday afternoon. (more…)

Talks guiding with money and voice

When America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, talks about the Buccaneers needing to play as a “family” and operate as a family to thrive, it’s not some sort of BS line of public relations fluff. (more…)

Stingy defense.

Winning Bucs coach Dirk Koetter is a big believer in explosive plays. (more…)

Todd focuses on shootout-potential games this Sunday. Why? Uh, have you noticed how touchdowns seem to be at a premium this season?

So, the shootout games are where you should look to make decisions on who is in your starting lineups…both in season-long leagues and DFS.

Speaking of DFS, Todd reminds you once again that you can use DFS pricing to your advantage as a research tool and gives you AJ Green and Golden Tate’s prices as examples of that this week. There are some QB’s and RB’s moving up and a lot of guys many drafted as WR1 or WR2 going the other way overall in fantasy projections. And who is the new BEST GARBAGE TIME WR IN FANTASY FOOTBALL? Todd’s got that too. Remember, email Todd directly at ToddWrightFantasyFootball@gmail.com with any questions unique to your teams. He has responded to every single email this season and that is not going to change anytime soon.

The Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast has expanded to twice weekly, Mondays and Fridays! …Enjoy it right here and at iTunes and Google Play.

Bucs coach Dirk Koetter already wringing hands about playing in a dome Sunday.

It doesn’t take a detective to conclude winning Bucs coach Dirk Koetter thinks of not just everything, but also frets about everything. (more…)

Kwon is sidelined

Dirk Koetter said today he wasn’t playing doctor, but there’s a documented case of “influenza” on the Bucs and that means the ill party is banned from One Buc Palace. (more…)

Film focus in Minnesota

Attention film junkies, find yourself a drool towel and grab a cold beer.

Former Vikings linebacker Pete Bercich (1995-2000), who also coached for Minnesota, dialed up a great film breakdown of some Buccaneers. (more…)

Promotion.

It seems for the time being, the Bucs have a new punt return man. (more…)

Mike Evans speaks

Mike Evans turned 24 years old last month but he views himself as a seasoned NFL veteran. (more…)

In baseball, a closer is the pitcher managers bring in late in the game to slam the door on the opponent. Close the game out. (more…)

Bucs have not consulted.

This is a strange one for Joe to swallow. (more…)

Talks shrinkage

After talking to Joe Hawley yesterday, Joe has decided Hawley deserves a giant trophy for what he accomplished last season. (more…)
