Lavonte David Fantasy

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David (knee) had a procedure to address the torn meniscus on his left knee, head coach Bruce Arians said on Monday. The head coach said David's injury is not serious, but he will be held out for a while, but the start of his regular season is not in jeopardy. David remains a Top 10 linebacker for those in fantasy leagues using individual defensive players (IDPs), and a Top 20 target among all IDPs. As far as the Buccaneers DST is concerned, they're not worth bothering with in standard play.
