| Pos. | Player | Projection |
| QB | ![]() |
Sam Bradford280 pass yards, 2 pass TDs, INT
Bradford had the best fantasy game of his pro career in a Week 15 loss against Minnesota. He threw for 377 yards, with a career-high 35 completions in the comeback effort. He also added three touchdown throws and an interception. The Buccaneers' troubled pass defense should make Bradford a sleeper fantasy quarterback for Week 16, too. |
| RB | ![]() |
Steven Jackson65 rush yards, 5 rec, 40 rec yards
Jackson had 13 carries for 73 yards against Minnesota in Week 15 while dealing with a foot injury. He also caught a team-high eight passes for another 73 yards, but he was still unable to score. He should do well in the passing game again in Week 16 against the Buccaneers. |
| RB | ![]() |
Daryl Richardson15 rush yards, 1 rec, 8 rec yards
Richardson had just three carries for five yards against the Vikings in Week 15. He remains Steven Jackson's backup and likely won't have a fantasy impact again this season. |
| WR | ![]() |
Danny Amendola7 rec, 90 yards, rec TD
Amendola returned from a foot injury to catch six passes for 58 yards, one touchdown and a two-point conversion in Week 15 against the Vikings. He was targeted 12 times to lead the team and he should have a big game in Week 16. |
| WR | ![]() |
Brandon Gibson5 rec, 70 yards, rec TD
Gibson caught six passes for a team-leading 76 yards against Minnesota in Week 15. He had a 100-yard game in Week 14, but with Danny Amendola (foot) back, a quieter game was expected. The Buccaneers are horrible against the pass, making Gibson an interesting WR3 in Week 16. |
| TE | ![]() |
Lance Kendricks3 rec, 32 yards
Kendricks caught three passes for 35 yards and a touchdown in Week 15 against Minnesota. He now has a touchdown catch in two of his past four games, but there are still more reliable options out there in fantasy. |
| K | ![]() |
Greg Zuerlein2 PATs, FG
Zuerlein missed one field goal, but he made two extra points against Minnesota in Week 15. The Rams also went for one two-point conversion, stealing another point from the rookie kicker. The numbers have been modest in his past four outings, with three field goals and eight extra points. |
| DEFENSE |
2 INTs, 2 Sacks
The Rams had two sacks against Minnesota, but they were unable to force a turnover in Week 15. The Buccaneers are coming off an embarrassing shutout against the Saints, but expecting another bad game from Doug Martin and Co. is wishful thinking. |

Josh Freeman220 pass yards, 2 pass TDs, 2 INTs
Freeman had one of his worst days as a pro in Week 15 at New Orleans. He threw for 279 yards, but he also threw four interceptions and lost a fumble. He should bounce back in Week 16 against the Rams, but starting him in the fantasy playoffs is a risky endeavor. |
| RB | ![]() |
Doug Martin105 rush yards, rush TD, 3 rec, 33 rec yards
Martin led the Bucs with nine carries, but he gained only 16 yards and didn't break any runs longer than 11 yards against the Saints in Week 15. The Rams just gave up 212 rushing yards to Adrian Peterson, so Martin should bounce back in Week 16. |
| RB | ![]() |
LeGarrette Blount12 rush yards
Blount had four carries for 25 yards at New Orleans in Week 15. Despite coming off one of his biggest days of the season, he's still just a backup to Doug Martin and likely won't receive more than five touches in any one game the rest of the way. |
| WR | ![]() |
Vincent Jackson6 rec, 90 yards, rec TD
Jackson caught six passes for 81 yards at New Orleans in Week 15, despite the Bucs losing in a blowout on the road. He was expected to have a huge day, but ended up with an average outing. Keep him active against the Rams. |
| WR | ![]() |
Mike Williams5 rec, 70 yards, rec TD
Williams saw his two-game touchdown streak end at New Orleans in Week 15. Still, he caught four passes for 63 yard and he will try to improve on that in Week 16. |
| TE | ![]() |
Dallas Clark4 rec, 35 yards
Clark caught a team-high eight passes for 42 yards at New Orleans in Week 15. The Buccaneers could move the ball through the air, but they couldn't get into the end zone before turning it over. Clark is a middle-of-the-road fantasy option in Week 16. |
| K | ![]() |
Connor Barth3 PATs, FG
Barth didn't manage a point in Week 15, as the Saints shut out the Buccaneers. He also didn't kick a field goal in Week 14. With the Bucs' offense sputtering, he's a mediocre fantasy alternative in Week 16. |
| DEFENSE |
INT, 2 Sacks
The Buccaneers gave up 41 points, failed to force a turnover and managed just one sack at New Orleans in Week 15. St. Louis' offense has been strong lately, meaning the Bucs aren't worth a fantasy look in Week 16. |
