Stunning data.

Joe understands a core of Bucs fans just cannot wait for the day America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, has his flag lowered to half-mast and is chased out of town by a band of wild animals. [read more]

Talks OT depth.

Joe is convinced there will always be a sect of fans, no matter the team, no matter if the team is good or bad, that will always howl about how rotten said team’s offensive line is. You know, just like economists will point out there will never be such a thing as zero percent unemployment. [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.

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.
