Carlton Davis News
Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis (groin) is active for the wild-card playoff game against the Washington Football Team on Saturday night. Davis has been out since the Week 15 win over the Falcons, so his return is a huge boost to a secondary that has been much more vulnerable than the team's rush defense in 2020. The 24-year-old ranks as the No. 37 fantasy defensive back in IDP leagues this year, recording 68 combined tackles (52 solo), a career-high four interceptions and 18 passes defensed in 14 games this season. Especially with Davis back in the fold, Tampa's defense will be the most popular fantasy unit on wild-card weekend with Washington quarterback Alex Smith (calf) ruled out. The Bucs will face backup Taylor Heinicke, who has attempted just 77 NFL pass attempts in three seasons.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Lions, leaving an opening at the top corner spot for the Buccaneers Defense. Davis made a season-high nine tackles last week prior to his departure due to the groin ailment, but Ryan Smith is now expected to step into a larger role in Davis' absence. With Tampa Bay losing their top corner, Marvin Jones Jr. is expected to have added appeal in the passing game for the Lions. The Buccaneers' defensive unit is a toss-up to be utilized during season-long championship matchups, but without Davis in the mix, they may be landing on the wrong side of sit/start depending on league size and the other options available.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that cornerback Carlton Davis (groin) will be a game-time decision for Week 16 against the Lions on Saturday. Davis, a third-year starter, hasn't practiced this week after leaving the Week 15 game early with a groin injury. The 23-year-old is on the wrong side of questionable for Saturday's tilt, which would leave the Bucs a bit more vulnerable against Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. and company. Davis ranks as the No. 2 fantasy defensive back in IDP leagues this year with 52 total tackles, 17 pass breakups and four interceptions in 14 games. The Bucs defense overall is still a great fantasy play against a Lions team that will be without interim head coach Darrell Bevell and four assistant coaches due to COVID-19 protocols.
