Buccaneers | Serious competition at tight end Mon Jul 15, 07:11 PM
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will likely have significant competition at tight end during training camp, with TE Luke Stocker likely having the upper hand in that competition going into camp. TEs Tom Crabtree Nate Byham, Danny Noble and Zach X. Miller will all challenge for playing time as well. "The position as a whole, I think they're working their tails off," Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano said. "Certainly we need to have production out of that position. So we need them to come up big."
| Footballguys view: Stocker is a huge target (6'5") and knows how to use his frame to box out defenders. He'll automatically be a quality redzone target for QB Josh Freeman and could flourish with an expanded role in 2013. Stocker needs to improve on his concentration as he's known to drop too many easy passes. The Buccaneers don't use their TEs a whole lot so Stocker's fantasy value is limited even though he's considered the starter. |

Buccaneers | Tom Crabtree could be offensive weapon Tue Jun 11, 01:24 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Tom Crabtree will be watched closely by the team's scouts and coaches in minicamp this week to see how he's adjusting to the offense and QB Josh Freeman. Tampa Bay's shift from a West Coast-style of offense to more of a vertical passing attack has reduced the emphasis placed on the tight end. The Buccaneers believe that Crabtree has the ability to be a threat in the passing game, however, and he could prompt them to alter how much they involve the position.
| Footballguys view: Crabtree only has 18 catches for 302 yards and 4 touchdowns over his three year career with the Packers. Now that he's with the Buccaneers we'll see if he can expand his role. Fantasy owners in super deep dynasty leagues need to keep an eye on Crabtree in the preseason. |

Buccaneers | Tom Crabtree expected to push for starting job Sun May 26, 11:48 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Tom Crabtree is expected to push TE Luke Stocker for the starting tight end job and could become the team's primary pass-catching tight end this season.
| Footballguys view: This is fantasy situation many aren't considering right now. We'll see if Crabtree can beat out Stocker in training camp. No matter who wins the job we're not expecting much from them in 2013. Last year, Dallas Clark was the 25th best TE in fantasy football as the Bucs primary player at the position. |
