Russell Gage Fantasy

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage is expected to have a big year, according to quarterback Tom Brady. Over the last two seasons, Gage posted 138 catches for 1,556 yards and eight touchdowns with the Atlanta Falcons. He earned himself a three-year deal worth $30 million over the offseason. The expectation is that Gage will be the No. 2 wideout to begin the season. Superstar wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) is still recovering from knee surgery. It sounds like Brady plans on working Gage into the offense right away. He could very well have fantasy relevance right out of the gate next season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady said that wide receiver Russell Gage is in a very important role in a pass-heavy offense and has a great opportunity ahead of him in 2022. When Brady speaks, you should usually listen, especially since he has a lot of say in Tampa's offense. Chris Godwin (knee) tore his ACL in Week 15 of last year and may not be ready for the start of the regular season, so Gage will be in a prime spot to receive plenty of targets from Brady behind No. 1 wideout Mike Evans early on. The 26-year-old had 138 catches for 1,556 yards and eight touchdowns the last two years with the Atlanta Falcons, but he becomes a whole lot more intriguing to fantasy managers with Brady slinging him the pigskin.

Former Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is expected to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to a source. Gage had 66 receptions on 94 targets for 770 yards and four touchdowns in 14 games (nine starts) for the Falcons in 2021 and took on a much bigger role for most of the year when Calvin Ridley stepped away for personal reasons. He had an even better year in 2020, when he caught 72 of 109 targets for 786 yards and four scores in 16 games (eight starts). The 26-year-old projects to open the 2022 season as the No. 2 receiver behind Mike Evans with Chris Godwin recovering from an ACL tear. With quarterback Tom Brady back, Gage has the potential for a career year in Tampa in 2022.
