Tampa Bay Buccaneers Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Buccaneers HC Bruce Arians says EDGE Shaq Barrett sprained the ACL and MCL in his right knee in Sunday's win over the Panthers. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Tampa hopes to get Barrett back for the playoffs. That means you can dump him from IDP redraft rosters.

Buccaneers HC Bruce Arians says EDGE Shaq Barrett suffered a "minor" MCL injury in Sunday's win over the Panthers, according to the team website. We'll see whether the injury threatens his Week 17 status.

Buccaneers CB Jamel Dean (illness) is active for today's game against the Panthers. As expected, EDGE Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder) is out. He hit the weekend doubtful.

Buccaneers EDGE Jason Pierre-Paul is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers with a shoulder injury.

The Buccaneers have ruled S Antoine Winfield Jr. out for Sunday's game against Carolina with his foot injury. It'll be Winfield's 2nd straight missed game. Mike Edwards -- back from his vaccination-card suspension with Antonio Brown -- figures to start in Winfield's spot next to Jordan Whitehead.

The Buccaneers on Thursday placed LB Lavonte David on IR with his foot injury. That means he'll miss the rest of the regular season and can be dropped in IDP leagues (if you didn't do so already). Kevin Minter is in line for full-time snaps next to Devin White.

The Buccaneers expect LB Lavonte David to miss the rest of the regular season after suffering a foot sprain in Sunday night's loss to the Saints, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. The team is reportedly "hopeful" that David can make it back during the playoffs. Kevin Minter will step up to a full-time role in the meantime.

Buccaneers LB Lavonte David left Sunday night's loss to the Saints in the 4th quarter with a foot injury. We'll see about the severity this week. His absence would push Kevin Minter into a full-time role.

Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield (foot) is inactive for tonight's game against the Saints. S Jordan Whitehead (calf) is active after missing the previous 2 games.

Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield (foot) and S Jordan Whitehead (calf) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints. Winfield looks very iffy after putting in only 1 limited practice. Whitehead closed out the week with a full Friday after 2 limited days. He missed the past 2 games.

Buccaneers CB Jamel Dean (concussion) and DE William Gholston (wrist, knee) are active for today's game against the Bills.

Buccaneers LB Devin White (quad) is active for today's game against the Falcons. He finished the week with a pair of full practices and should be good to go for IDP lineups.

Buccaneers LB Devin White (quad) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. He finished the week with 2 full practices and seems a good bet to play, but we'll confirm his status Sunday morning. Bucs S Jordan Whitehead (calf) hasbeen ruled out for the game. With Mike Edwards suspended over vaccination fraud, Andrew Adams looks likely to join Antoine Winfield in the lineup.

The Buccaneers have activated CB Carlton Davis from IR. He has been out since Week 4 with a quad injury but follows the recent return of Sean Murphy-Bunting to get Tampa back to its season-opening CB group

Buccaneers LB Devin White (quad) and DT Vita Vea (knee) are active for today's game against the Colts.

Buccaneers LB Devin White is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts. He's dealing with a quad injury that kept him out of Wednesday's practice. White returned for limited workouts Thursday and Friday. HC Bruce Arians told reporters Friday that White will be a game-time decision. He said the same about DT Vita Vea, who put in limited practices all week with the knee injury that kept him out of Week 11.

Buccaneers EDGE Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder, hand) is active for today's game against Washington. He has been playing through questionable tags since returning from his shoulder injury. JPP saw his normal playing time last week and should be fine for IDP use -- especially in a high-upside matchup.

Buccaneers EDGE Jason Pierre-Paul is questionable for Sunday's game against Washington. He sat out practice all week with shoulder and hand injuries, despite coming off the bye. But JPP did the same thing for Week 8 and played through a questionable tag for his highest snap share since Week 1. We'll confirm Pierre-Paul's status Sunday, but expect him to play.
