A defensive unit worth noting for fantasy...  From "The REAL Feed":

Improving Buccaneers defense could be trouble for NFC South (http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2011/10/improving-buccaneers-defense-could-be-trouble-for-nfc-south/1?csp=34sports&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+UsatodaycomNfl-TopStories+%28Sports+-+NFL+-+Top+Stories%29)
USA TODAY: NFL (05.10.2011 20:20)
When it comes to quarterback play, no division may be stronger top to bottom than the NFC South given the fast start by Panthers rookie Cam Newton.

This is an observation (and a conversation topic if anybody [smiley=crickets.gif] actually happens to respond)...

What is up with the one-season wonders, especially rookie one-season wonders, at wide receiver in Tampa?  Mike Williams is following right in the footsteps of Michael Clayton.  For that matter, when is the last time the Bucs had any wideout who performed solidly for consecutive seasons?  It seems like there is something in the water out there that precludes it.  Thoughts?

Very good observation.   Benn, Clayon,. Williams.  

It is a fantasy nightmare.   Even Blount is not consistent

What a wash-up Kellen Winslow's career has been...  Here he is in the "twilight" of his career... at age 29... being shipped off to be replaced by a guy four years his senior.  Junior definitely does not have the toughness of his dad.  From "The REAL Feed":

Bucs deal Winslow to 'Hawks, sign ex-Colt Clark (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/football/nfl/05/21/bucs.winslow.ap/index.html?xid=si_nfl)

I am posting this because the evidence is starting to pile up that this is a player who could easily disappoint this season and beyond.  The regime that drafted him, which included old head coach Raheem Morris, who was on the coaching staff at K-State when he played his college ball there, is gone; new HC Greg Schiano likes a run-heavy offense, and last year he indubitably took a step backward.  From "The REAL Feed":

Josh Freeman must improve on decision-making, says Bucs OC (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d82961c26/article/josh-freeman-must-improve-on-decisionmaking-says-bucs-oc)
NFL.com (27.05.2012 17:55)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman needs to know when it's best to throw the ball away or take a sack, offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan said Saturday on on SiriusXM Sports radio.

Freeman will be a borderline #2-3 fantasy QB this season, and, deep keeper/dynasty-leaguers, beware!

NFL.com (23.10.2013 08:52)
Doug Martin insists his injured left shoulder won't shelve him for the season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back said he already has increased movement.

I think this is a pipe dream for a guy on a team with N0 wins!
