The Buccaneers ranked fifth in scoring defense (20.8 PPG) and tied-fifth in takeaways during 2021 and return all but three defensive starters.
Analysis: The offense has rightfully been the talk of the offseason in Tampa Bay with Tom Brady reversing his decision to retire and Rob Gronkowksi retiring again, but the defense remained a constant. Veterans Ndamukong Suh, Jason Pierre-Paul and Jordan Whitehead left via free agency, but the unit remains strong overall and still has eight starters left from the Super Bowl run. OLB Joe Tryon-Shoyinka tallied four sacks during his rookie campaign, and the 2021 first-round pick could play a pivotal role in…read more

The Buccaneers allowed 374 yards and 24 points during the Week 17 win over the Jets and play the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: The Tampa Bay D/ST had a prime matchup but failed to deliver with only one sack and one takeaway. The Bucs have only four takeaways over the past five games, though they've also given up 11 points or fewer in three of those contests. Meanwhile Carolina has scored only 30 points the last three weeks and presents another favorable matchup. The Buccaneers D/ST is a strong option for Week 18.

The Buccaneers allowed 273 yards and six points during the Week 16 win over the Panthers and play the Jets on Sunday.
Analysis: The Tampa Bay D/ST managed only one takeaway but had seven sacks while limiting Carolina to a pair of field goals. Tampa Bay closes out the campaign with an attractive schedule, as the Jets and Panthers are the two remaining opponents. Rookie QB Zach Wilson has taken strides as the season has progressed, but the Bucs D/ST remains one of the top options for Week 17 while facing one of the worst offenses in the league.

The Buccaneers allowed 212 yards and nine points during the Week 15 loss to the Saints and play the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: The Tampa Bay D/ST had two sacks and zero takeaways while holding New Orleans to 3.5 yards per play and three field goals, but it wasn't enough for the victory. The Bucs have only two takeaways over the past three games but are also giving up only 15.7 points in those contests. The Bucs D/ST is one of the top fantasy defenses for Week 16 while going up against a Panthers offense that has no real identity with RB Christian McCaffrey (ankle)

The Buccaneers allowed 466 yards and 27 points during the Week 14 win over the Bills and play the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: The Tampa Bay D/ST dominated through three quarters and finished with three sacks and one takeaway, but QB Josh Allen came alive to deliver 17 points in the fourth quarter to force overtime. QB Taysom Hill finally found some success for New Orleans against the Jets last week, though there's still significant questions for the offense overall. RB Alvin Kamara is back and figures to remain the focal point in both the run and pass games. The Bucs D/ST has the talent to contain Hill's athleticism…read more

The Buccaneers allowed 11 offensive points and 380 yards during the Week 13 win over the Falcons and play the Bills on Sunday.
Analysis: The Tampa Bay D/ST had five sacks and one takeaway as it managed to hold Atlanta to 11 offensive points despite giving up significant yardage. Buffalo is coming off a rough offensive night against New England as extreme weather limited both teams. Overall the Bills remain one of the top offenses in the league, though they have been inconsistent over the past month. Regardless, QB Josh Allen isn't a great matchup for the Bucs D/ST, leaving the unit as a below-average option for Week 14.

The Buccaneers allowed 392 yards and 31 points during the Week 12 win over the Colts and play the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: The Tampa Bay D/ST was unable to consistently slow down the Indianapolis offense, but it had a productive day with three sacks and five takeaways to help spur a second-half comeback. The Falcons scored 21 points last week against the Jaguars after totaling only three points over the previous two games. The Bucs D/ST is a strong option for Week 13 given the struggles of Atlanta's offense this season.

The Buccaneers gave up 215 yards and 10 points during the Week 11 win over the Giants and play the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: The Tampa Bay D/ST had three takeaways and two sacks while allowing only 3.6 yards per pass in a dominant performance. The Colts are fresh off a beatdown of the Bills during which RB Jonathan Taylor had 204 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns. The Bucs run defense is its strength (3.8 YPC), but the secondary is looking better with CB Sean Murphy-Bunting back and CB Carlton Davis (quadriceps) nearing his return.

The Buccaneers allowed 29 points and 320 yards during the Week 10 loss to Washington and play the Giants on Monday.
Analysis: The Tampa Bay D/ST wasn't helped much by the offense in this one, but the real issue was allowing the Football Team to go 13-for-21 between third and fourth down. The Bucs have now given up 29 defensive points in each of the past two games, though the Giants have reached that total only once this season back in Week 2. QB Daniel Jones is taking much better care of the ball this year, but the receiving corps is depleted by injury, plus Saquon Barkley (ankle) has been out. Barkley appears on…read more

Tampa Bay ranks seventh in total defense (335.8 YPG) and 13th in scoring (22.9 PPG) entering Sunday's game against Washington.
Analysis: The Bucs D/ST got beaten down by the Saints in Week 8, so it was a good time for the bye week. Tampa Bay remains a strong unit overall and it ranks tied-22nd in sacks (17) and tied-fifth in takeaways (14). QB Taylor Heinicke has endured his share of struggles this year, and the Football Team entered its Week 9 bye with 33 points scored over its last three contests. The Tampa Bay D/ST is a strong option for Week 10 given the matchup.

The Buccaneers allowed 311 yards and three points during the Week 7 win over the Bears and plays the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: The Tampa Bay D/ST dominated from the start and totaled four sacks and six takeaways in the contest. The Bucs now rank 10th in scoring defense (21.0 PPG), tied-11th in sacks (16) and tied-third in takeaways (14) this season. QB Jameis Winston and New Orleans have endured some ups and downs this year, but the offense has only six giveaways and has mostly been a solid unit. The Bucs D/ST remains a solid fantasy option for Week 8 despite the less-than-stellar matchup.

The Buccaneers allowed 213 yards and 22 points during the Week 7 win over the Eagles and play the Bears on Sunday.
Analysis: The Tampa Bay D/ST gave up only 16 first downs and 4.5 yards per play, but one takeaway and two sacks meant meager fantasy production with Philly scoring 22 points, QB Justin FIelds has flashed since taking over the starting role for Chicago, but the offense overall has struggled and is averaging 16.3 PPG and 117.2 YPG.

The Buccaneers allowed 301 yards and 17 points during the Week 5 win over the Dolphins and play the Eagles on Thursday.
Analysis: Tampa Bay unsurprisingly did a good job limited the Miami offense, led by QB Jacoby Brissett, with RBI Myles Gaskin accounting for both touchdowns while catching 10 passes for 74 yards. The Bucs D/ST had three sacks and two takeaways in a solid fantasy effort. The Philly offense has been pedestrian under QB Jalen Hurts so far in 2021, though it does rank tied-second in giveaways (four).

The Buccaneers gave up 294 yards and 17 points during the Week 4 win over the Patriots and play the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: The Bucs D/ST was able to limit the Pats with four sacks and two takeaways, but the Patriots made no pretense of even attempting to run the ball with only eight carries. Rookie QB Mac Jones was solid for New England, but it's clear Tampa Bay is dealing with some issues in that secondary that a better offense would have exploited. That's unlikely to come Week 5, as QB Jacoby Brissett has found middling success for Miami since taking over for Tua Tagovailoa (ribs). The Dolphins rank 30th in…read more

Analysis: There wasn't much to write home about for the Bucs in this one, as they tallied one sack and zero takeaways while giving up 6.5 yards per play. The Tampa Bay D/ST put in a big performance against Atlanta in Week 2 but has struggled against quality offenses the other two games.

The Bucs surrendered only 55 rushing yards and held Atlanta to 19 first downs. QB Matthew Stafford has meshed well in his first two games with Los Angeles, with WR Cooper Kupp clearly emerging as his favorite target.

The Buccaneers gave up 451 yards and 29 points during the Week 1 win over the Cowboys and play the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: QB Dak Prescott attempted 58 passes and totaled 403 yards, as the only saving grave for the Tampa Bay defense was that it limited Dallas' scoring with three field goals in four attempts (not counting a 60-yard boot before halftime). RB Ezekiel Elliott was kept in check with 33 rushing yards, but WRs CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper combined for 20 catches, 243 receiving yards and three scores, while Tampa Bay managed only one sack and zero takeaways.

Analysis: The Tampa Bay D/ST is otherwise in full health heading into the first game of the 2021 NFL campaign while returning all 11 starters from each side of the ball. The Cowboys endured a rough offensive season in 2020 after Dak Prescott (ankle) went down, but he's back in the fold and has plenty of weapons in Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup, plus Ezekiel Elliott in the run game.

The Bucs remain one of the top defenses in the league, but the matchup with the Saints will limit its fantasy prospects this week.

Analysis: Tampa Bay had three sacks and one takeaway and allowed only 3.2 yards per carry, as it continues to feature the best run defense in the league (66.0 YPG and 3.0 YPC). Week 8 brings about a prime matchup in primetime for the Bucs D/ST, as New York is tied-28th in giveaways (13), tied-25th in sacks allowed (20), 29th in scoring (17.4 PPG) and 31st in total offense (282.4 YPG).

The Bucs stymied the run easily with RB Austin Ekeler (hamstring) getting injured early, but rookie QB Justin Herbert averaged 11.6 yards per pass.

Analysis: The Buccaneers put on a dominant defensive performance against the injury-plagued Broncos, forcing two turnovers and recording six sacks. The matchup with the Chargers this week isn't nearly as attractive, though they're averaging only 17.3 points and are tied-22nd in giveaways (five) so far this season.

The Buccaneers allowed 27 offensive points and 271 yards to the Saints on Sunday and play the Panthers in Week 2.
Analysis: Tampa Bay played pretty well defensively as it allowed only 4.1 yards per play, but it had only one sack and had zero takeaways and was hurt by its own offense having three giveaways. The Panthers put up 30 points, 388 yards and allowed only one sack in the season opener, so this Week 2 matchup may not provide much fantasy potential if the Buccaneers don't create some plays defensively.

The Bucs ranked 15th in total defense (343.9 YPG), 29th in scoring (28.1 PPG), tied-seventh in sacks and fifth in takeaways (28) last season.
Analysis: Tampa Bay also had the best rush defense in the league (3.3 YPC) and a solid pass defense (13th with 6.1 net Y/A), but the offense led the league with 41 turnovers, consistently putting the defense in compromising situations. It retains nearly all of its core players, and the signing of Tom Brady should bring stability to the offense. The Buccaneers are in prime position to improve in 2020 and be regularly fantasy relevant after performing well in difficult circumstances last year.

The Bucs provided plenty of fantasy production with two takeaways and five sacks. The Tampa Bay D/ST ranks tied-fifth in takeaways (27) and 12th in sacks (41), but the offense's issues with turnovers consistently put it in compromising field position, keeping it as a mid-tier option to close out the season.

Analysis: The Tampa Bay D/ST had two sacks and three takeaways, including a interception return for a touchdown.

Analysis: The Tampa Bay D/ST played fairly well but spent 37 minutes on the field as the offense committed four turnovers. However, one sack and zero tackles meant minimal production for the Buccaneers. The Falcons have struggled with consistency all season but are coming off back-to-back dominating wins coming out of their bye.

The Buccaneers surrendered 492 yards and 40 points in Week 9's overtime loss to the Seahawks and will play the Cardinals on Sunday.
Analysis: As expected, QB Russell Wilson and Seattle had minimal trouble moving the ball and averaged 7.2 yards per play, though Tampa Bay did manage three sacks and a takeaway. The Cardinals have been up-and-down offensively under rookie QB Kyler Murry, but the unit has the fewest turnovers in the league (four) and still hasn't had their bye. The Buccaneers haven't shown to be able to stop the ball with any consistency and have limited turnover potential this week, keeping them off the fantasy radar.
