Buccaneers HC Greg Schiano on QB Josh Freeman:“Josh...

Jul 26, 2013

Buccaneers HC Greg Schiano on QB Josh Freeman:

“Josh is our quarterback. Maybe as things went on this year, I talk a lot about competition and maybe that kind of got taken out of context. I’ll put it on me; I shouldn’t have led people that way. But I’m really excited about Mike Glennon. Mike is an excellent quarterback and one that we’re going to develop here. But I expect big things from Josh, and more importantly Josh expects big things from Josh. I really think he’ll have a good year.”

Fantasy Impact:

Freeman is a nice sleeper available in the later rounds. Through Week 14, Freeman was fantasy football's #11 QB, averaging 1.9 touchdowns and just 0.6 interceptions, but he finished the season on a very sour note, throwing nine picks and only two TDs in his final three games.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
