Tampa Bay Buccaneers

NFC South


The market has Rachaad White correctly valued at an ADP of 31, compared to an overall ECR of 43. At a projected workload of 13.7 carries and 3.4 receptions per game, White is an every-week fantasy starter. He leads Bucky Irving and Chase Edmonds on the Buccaneers' depth chart. The Buccaneers have the 20th-best schedule for RBs.

Bucky Irving is correctly valued at his ADP of 174 as the consensus #223 overall player.

Mcmillan is not a focus of the the Buccaneers' offense as their WR4. As the consensus #99 WR, he's probably best left for the waiver wire. He's projected for 441 yards and 2.8 TDs on 36.2 receptions, for 15.9% of the workload for Buccaneers WRs. Tampa Bay has the 12th-worst wide receiver schedule.

Cade Otton is projected to catch just 45.6 receptions for 477 yards and 3.8 touchdowns. As the consensus #21, Otton is a low-end option at tight end. As the consensus #169 overall player, Otton is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 173. The Buccaneers have the 4th-worst schedule for TEs.

As our consensus #22 QB, Baker Mayfield isn't really relevant in 1QB leagues. That rank makes him a fantasy starter in 2QB leagues, even if he's not an exciting one.Mayfield is projected to earn 22.5 of his 268 fantasy points by rushing. Running the bal lisn't how he makes his living. Projected for 12.0 interceptions compared to 26.4 passing TDs, he doesn't carry much interception risk.

With 4.5 projected rushes and 1.2 projected catches per games, Chase Edmonds won't be reliable in fantasy. He has some competition on Tampa Bay's depth chart, where he trails both Rachaad White and Bucky Irving.

With 0.9 projected touches per game (0.7 rushes and 0.2 catches), Sean Tucker is not fantasy-relevant. He trails both Rachaad White and Bucky Irving on the Buccaneers' depth chart.

Mike Evans is the bonafide top receiver on the Buccaneers, ahead of Chris Godwin and Trey Palmer. As the consensus #11 WR, he's an every week starter. He is projected to catch 73.5 receptions for 1,126 yards and 9.2 TDs, which is 32.3% of the total for Buccaneers WRs. Tampa Bay has the 12th-worst schedule for wide receivers.

Ranked #41 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he will be serviceable most weeks.

Blaine Gabbert won't begin the season as the starting QB in Tampa Bay - that honor belongs to Tom Brady. As such, you shouldn't spend a draft pick on him in most leagues. Gabbert is expected to earn 6% of his projected 10 fantasy points by rushing. It's not really how he makes his living. With a projected toughdown-to-interception ratio of 2.3, he isn't not likely to melt down often.

Cameron Brate is projected for only 317 yards and 3.1 TDs on 34.3 receptions. As the consensus TE29, Brate is not someone you want to start in fantasy. Brate is a fair value at his ADP of 248 as the consensus #256 overall player. Tampa Bay has the 11th-worst schedule for TEs.

At QB8, Tom Brady is a strong starger, but won't come particularly cheap with an ADP in the 7th round. Brady is expected to earn 4% of his projected 337 fantasy points by rushing. He doesn't have the rushing floor that some other quarterbacks have. With a projected toughdown-to-interception ratio of 3.1, he isn't not likely to melt down often.

Ke'shawn Vaughn is a fair value at his ADP of 259 as the consensus #287 overall player. With a projection of 2.9 carries and 0.4 catches per game, Vaughn isn't someone you can really use in fantasy. He trails both Leonard Fournette and Rachaad White on the Buccaneers' depth chart. The Buccaneers have the worst schedule for RBs.

With 1.0 projected rushes and 0.7 projected catches per games, Giovani Bernard isn't someone you need to draft. He has some competition on Tampa Bay's depth chart in Leonard Fournette and Rachaad White.
