Lavonte David Fantasy

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had recent negotiations with linebacker Lavonte David with an eye towards a contract extension, according to a source. David is due to make $10.75 million this year in the final year of his current deal. The 30-year-old is heading into his ninth season with the Buccaneers and has been the face of their defense for a while. The former second-rounder was a first-team All-Pro in 2013 and a Pro Bowler in 2015. He's had over 100 combined tackles in all but one of his eight seasons, including 123 (82 solo) in 2019 in 16 games. In what could be an even better Buccaneers Defense in 2020, David is undoubtedly an every-week starter at his position in IDP leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David could be busy in Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey ran wild on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1 with 19 rushes for 128 yards and two touchdowns. He added 10 catches for 81 yards through the air. While this is bad for the Buccaneers Defense, it will give David a lot of potential for tackles in individual defensive player formats. Rams linebacker Cory Littleton had 14 total tackles against the Panthers last week. David could have just as big of an impact, and he's a great linebacker to start this week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David (knee) and defensive tackle Vita Vea (knee) are both good to go for Sunday's regular season opener against the 49ers. One of the league's worst overall defenses in 2018, the Bucs will surely benefit from having both David and Vea on the field to start the season against San Francisco. Tampa's defense should be better this year, but they can be avoided in fantasy leagues until further notice. Vea is off the radar in IDP leagues, while David is a low-end linebacking option for Week 1.
