With Week One right around the corner, we take a look at a few quarterbacks who could break out this fantasy football season.
Former Oakland Raiders player Warren Sapp is starting to feel the effects of all the hits he took to the head. He wants his brain to go to the Concussion Legacy Foundation after his death.
The Buccaneers may be the NFL's most overlooked playoff contender, and not without reason. Can they change perceptions?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers look to stay in striking distance of the NFC South-leading Atlanta Falcons in Week 9 on Thursday Night Football.
Derek Carr threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to Seth Roberts with 1:45 remaining in overtime, capping a record-breaking day for the Raiders.
Steve Tasker, CBS Sports analyst and former NFL wide receiver, discusses Jaguars-Titans TNF matchup and Patriots-Bills in Week 8.
After taking a 14-0 lead in the first quarter against the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the San Francisco 49ers looked like they might be able to break a five-game losing streak. But the Bucs turned it on after the first 15 minutes of play to run away with an easy road win at Levi's Stadium.
With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coming to town, the San Francisco 49ers once again have their work cut out for them if they want to win. That's just the way it is in the NFL for a 1-5 team, but the 49ers will find it difficult to move the ball on offense if WR Torrey Smith can't play, as RB Carlos Hyde already has been ruled out of Sunday's game.
The San Francisco 49ers are just 1-5 this season, and now they will host the improved Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7. These aren't the "same old Bucs", either: Tampa Bay is 2-3 already after winning just six games in all of 2015. While the Bucs have some injury issues on offense, the team still is very capable of coming into Levi's Stadium and leaving with a win.
The Rams and Buccaneers face off with rookie sensations Jameis Winston and Todd Gurley leading the way for their respective teams.
The St. Louis Rams are struggling because they have no legitimate quarterback despite enjoying the success of rookie runner Todd Gurley.
The 0-10 Oakland Raiders have six games remaining, and if they want to avoid the wrong kind of historic effort, the Silver & Black need to win at least one of those games. But it's not looking like that is going to happen, all things considered. Somewhere, the ghost of Al Davis is cringing and shaking his fist at the mess his once-proud team has become.
In the modern NFL, only four teams have gone through a winless season: the 1960 Dallas Cowboys, the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the 1982 Baltimore Colts and the 2008 Detroit Lions. If the Raiders can't win this weekend in Cleveland, they could be looking at an 0-11 start—and that's when the pressure will start to mount. Avoiding membership in this exclusive club will be paramount for the Silver & Black.
From coached to players the Bucs had one of the most pitiful performances in recent memory. The final of 56 to 14 against the Atlanta Falcons doesn't give this sloppy game any justice. Defense gave up 8 touchdowns while the office turned the ball over with 4 fumbles and a pick-six interception.
56-14. You just don't see scores like that in the NFL very often. Tampa Bay didn't look like an NFL team last night, not scoring until the fourth quarter. For Atlanta, this was exactly the performance it needed.
Here's a look at the key fantasy players on both sides, and our recommendation on whether you should start them or sit them in your fantasy lineup.
Week 3's Thursday night matchup features two NFC South teams that made headlines for all the wrong reasons last season.
When he was drafted by the Houston Oilers in 1985, no-one expected Steve Tasker to last very long in the NFL. He may not have lasted more than one season in Houston, but the minute wide receiver and special teams ace last 12 more with the Buffalo Bills. He knows what it takes overcome adversity, but when it comes to this week's game on Thursday Night Football, Tasker isn't sure the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can overcome the strong Atlanta Falcons.
The Bucs took a gamble signing Michael Johnson to a huge contract, and this season, he has to be the guy.
The Carolina Panthers cut the face of the franchise, Steve Smith, and let the only other three wide receivers on the roster that caught a pass last season leave as free agents. Tight end Greg Olsen is the only proven receiver returning from last season's squad. Olsen should be Cam Newton's favorite target this season.
Former California coach Jeff Tedford has been hired as offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Of the six coaches who were fired at the end of this season, each of them had quarterbacks with a quarterback rating placing them in the bottom half of the league.
It was obvious after each team's opening drives that the best team on the field in Tampa Bay was the visitor. While it was a one possession game late, San Francisco dominated their opponent from start to finish, getting a little something from everyone on the way to their 10th win of the season.
Vernon Davis caught a TD pass for the fifth straight game to help the 49ers beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 33-14 on Sunday.
