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. [read 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). [read 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.

After that, there does not appear to be another Buccaneers WR worth anything higher than your last non PK/DST selection.
