Around the NFL: Tampa Bay running backs

There was a story over the weekend that Bruce Arians plans to have Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones split time. The Bucs also have Giovani Bernard, and maybe still have hopes for last year's 3rd-rounder Keshawn Vaughn. Is there value to be squeezed out of this backfield?   more »

Around the NFL: Tampa running backs

The Bucs just won a Super Bowl, but it was primarily due to their defense and their top-5 passing game. Investing in their bottom-5 running game a year ago didn't really pay off, and it probably won't in 2021, either. If anything things might be worse.   more »

Factoid: Tampa running backs

Ronald Jones sat out last week's Tampa Bay game at Washington, much to the dismay of those who started him (he was held out after aggravating a quad injury in pregame warmups). Jones has now started off this week with a missed practice, so he's iffy for the game at New Orleans.   more »

Brady, Fournette lead Bucs to playoff win

Tampa Bay quarterback TOM BRADY led the Bucs to their first playoff victory since winning Super Bowl 37 way back in 2003.

Factoid: Fournette For The Title

I’m thinking Leonard Fournette could play a key role in deciding some fantasy championship games this week. He’s had a terrible year, but he’s ending up in an ideal spot.  more »

Tampa Bay running back RONALD JONES is unlikely to return from the Covid-19 reserve list in time for Saturday’s game against the Detroit Lions.

Bucs add RoJo to Covid-19 reserve list

Tampa Bay placed running back RONALD JONES on the Covid-19 reserve list on Wednesday.

RoJo has broken pinky, status uncertain for Week #15

Tampa Bay running back RONALD JONES was scheduled for surgery on Tuesday to have a pin placed in his broken pinkie finger. X-rays after Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings revealedMore the broken pinky, although Jones did play the entire game.
