Summary

Def / ST Rank: #30All Players: #534
The Bucs were miserable defensively last season, ranking 30th overall. Tampa was especially torched against the rush, ranking dead last while allowing an amazing 26-rushing TDs. There wasn't another team in the league that gave up at least 20-rushing scores. Needless to say, this is a concern area for the Bucs for the coming season. The Bucs did add some new talent in free agency and the draft but probably not that impact guy to really turn this weakness around. The pass defense should be improved with rookie safety Mark Barron added to the mix. Aqib Talib has endured some struggles but still is a talented player with the upside to be a shutdown corner. The special teams for the Bucs are so so with Preston Parker and Sammie Stroughter handling the return duties. Both are decent in this area but not off the charts. They do have the ability to break some long plays, though.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Bucs aren't much of a fantasy factor these days. Their defense will produce a few turnovers, but won't get you many sacks and will give up a lot of yards and points. Tampa should be improved some on last season but that isn't saying much. They aren't a team fantasy teams should target come draft day.
