QBSam Bradford

Sam Bradford

280 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.

RBSteven Jackson

Steven Jackson

65 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.

RBDaryl Richardson

Daryl Richardson

15 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.

WRDanny Amendola

Danny Amendola

7 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.

WRBrandon Gibson

Brandon Gibson

5 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.

TELance Kendricks

Lance Kendricks

3 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.

KGreg Zuerlein

Greg Zuerlein

2 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.

QBJosh Freeman

Josh Freeman

220 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.

RBDoug Martin

Doug Martin

105 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.

RBLeGarrette Blount

LeGarrette Blount

12 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.

WRVincent Jackson

Vincent Jackson

6 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.

WRMike Williams

Mike Williams

5 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.

TEDallas Clark

Dallas Clark

4 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.

KConnor Barth

Connor Barth

3 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.
