Bucs Team Notes

Dynasty Fantasy Football: Bucs RB seen as a riser this offseason

The offseason is critical for NFL teams as they look to build and establish foundations that will let them play well into February of the next season. For fantasy football players, the same thing is done on perhaps a much smaller scale.

For those invested in fantasy football, one Bucs player on offense is seeing his stock takeoff during the offseason.

Jonathan Fuller of Fantasy Life published a stock watch piece on Wednesday with Bucs running back Bucky Irving being listed as a riser. He writes, “In dynasty rookie drafts Irving was generally a mid-to-late second-round pick depending on format. Now he is a borderline top-12 dynasty RB. That is a huge move for a fourth-round RB so dynasty managers should at least make an honest assessment of their roster to decide if now is the time to cash in.”

Fuller offers another perspective on the Bucs’ breakout rookie. He makes a point that is often forgotten about young, successful running backs that fantasy players can exploit.

“Irving is an incredibly fun player, but we know RBs without significant draft capital are easily replaced. If you’re one of the favorites to win your league, hang on tight and enjoy what should be another great season. If you aren’t among the best two or three rosters in your league, you should explore the trade market.”

You have plenty of options if you are a Bucs fan and want to acquire your team’s lead back or if you are worried about him repeating his 2024 season. Perhaps a move of Rachaad White could tip the scales one way or another

Fantasy Football: Bucs listed as best landing spot for linebacker

Fantasy football is heating up and it is only going to get more interesting as we get through the combine next week and free agency the weeks after. For fantasy players, the landscape of the game is about to take a seismic shift.

One thing that is always hard to predict, regardless of move, but sometimes there are instances where we see a room for opportunity.

PFF has done just that for IDP players specifically, they have found the teams with the biggest room for growth. It just so happens, the Bucs are seen as one of those teams for a linebacker and how they can rpdouce in a defensive fantasy league.

Jonathon Macri points out that the Bucs have 88.2% of their linebacker snaps currently vacated by free agency and who is retained on the roster. He points out, “Lavonte David and K.J. Britt led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in linebacker snaps in 2024, and both are pending free agents this offseason. David’s retirement is on the table, as well. This would create a massive need for Tampa Bay, as well as a prime opportunity for a free-agent linebacker to be the next great Buccaneers IDP at the position, at least for 2025.”

There seems to be a growing concern that Lavonte David may not return to the Bucs as the team starts to plan for the future. If they do move on, signing someone in free agency or drafting someone at 19 seems to be the likely outcome.

Either way, for whoever steps in, there will be a lot of snaps and chances to make an impact on Todd Bowles’ defense.

2025 NFL Draft scouting report: Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State

The 2025 NFL Draft will begin on April 24, and to prepare for that, we need Bucs fans to be fully prepared in every way. Of course, we will cover players the Bucs will need, but it is important to go beyond that.

In the case of this cornerback report, we will cover the position here at Bucs Wire because the team needs some better talent at the position.

The Bucs have drafted some young players like Tykee Smith and Zyon McCollum in recent years. Both have shown promise, but neither has emerged as a lockdown cornerback, as the team needs. Those are proving harder to find, so if they can’t, they need some depth at the position to give this group a better chance to succeed.

With that in mind, here is a cornerback prospect who could don a Bucs uniform next season.
