Blaine Gabbert Fantasy

Tampa Bay Buccaneers backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert replaced Tom Brady under center to begin the second half of Saturday's game against the Lions with the Bucs already up 34-0 going into the second half. Gabbert promptly hit tight end Rob Gronkowski for a touchdown on his first attempt of the game to put Tampa up 40-0 early in the third quarter. Brady was a ridiculous 22-for-27 for 348 yards and four touchdowns in the first half against Detroit's crumbling defense, finding Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Gronkowski and Antonio Brown for scores. Brady's fantasy managers would've liked for him to continue airing it out in the second half, but the Bucs have no reason to risk the future Hall of Famer's health in a game already decided. Brady's performance in the first half alone was likely good enough to help his fantasy managers to a championship this weekend.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers re-signed quarterback Blaine Gabbert to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to a source. Gabbert will serve as the backup to Tom Brady in 2020. The 30-year-old former 10th overall pick of the Jaguars in 2011 will help Brady learn head coach Bruce Arians' system. He didn't see the field at all in 2019, but Gabbert has played in 56 games (48 starts) in his eight years in the NFL with stops in Jacksonville, San Francisco, Arizona and Tennessee. You can obviously ignore Gabbert in all fantasy leagues, and he'd merely be a low-end QB2 option in Tampa if Brady were to get hurt and miss any time.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Blaine Gabbert (shoulder) suffered a dislocated left shoulder in the preseason game on Friday night against the Browns, according to head coach Bruce Arians. It's unknown if Gabbert will need surgery. The quarterback was 4-for-5 for 33 yards before leaving the game. Ryan Griffin stepped in for Gabbert and will likely be Jameis Winston's backup as we head into the regular season. Rookie quarterback Nick Fitzgerald is still recovering from a hamstring injury.
