News: Rodgers was 32 of 45 for 344 yards, including 274 in the first half in the Packers' 30-24 win over the 49ers on Sunday. [+]
Impact: Rodgers continues to be more than adequate in filling Brett Favre's shoes. He has 19 TDs and 5 INTs and handles himself well in the process. Fantasy owners and Packers fans should be pleased to have Rodgers as their quarterback. ( STATS - Mon. Nov 23, 2009) |
News: Grant ran for 129 yards on 21 carries in the Packers' 30-24 win over the 49ers on Sunday. [+]
Impact: Grant has 5 rushing TDs this season, and that's not nearly enough to please most fantasy owners. Grant needs to find the end zone more. ( STATS - Mon. Nov 23, 2009) |
News: Jennings had 5 catches for 126 yards and a TD Sunday in a 30-24 win over the 49ers. [+]
Impact: Jennings has three 100-yard efforts this season after his first since Sept. 27. ( STATS - Mon. Nov 23, 2009) | |

Sporting 'creamsicle' threads, Bucs win first game Wearing one of those ghastly creamsicle jerseys that are an ugly reminder of Tampa Bay's past, rookie Josh Freeman gave the struggling Buccaneers plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the future.
The third quarterback selected in this year's NFL draft led the previously winless Bucs to a 38-28 victory over the Green Bay Packers in his first start Sunday, ending the league's longest losing streak at 11 games.
Playing with poise that belied his inexperience, Freeman passed for 205 yards and three touchdowns, including a 7-yard throw to Sammie Stroughter on fourth-and-4 for the go-ahead TD with under 5 minutes to play. Full Story

News: Freeman took a step back in his third start for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, however he insists playing poorly during a 38-7 loss to unbeaten New Orleans will not undermine his confidence. [+]
Impact: "This game is this game," the 21-year-old said, vowing to leave Sunday's disappointment behind and begin with a "clean slate" this week against NFC South rival Atlanta (5-5). In addition to throwing three interceptions, the first-round draft pick out of Kansas State was sacked three times and lost a fumble. ( STATS - Mon. Nov 23, 2009) |

Terrence Nunn (TB - WR)
News: The Buccaneers have signed wide receiver Terrence Nunn off of New England's practice squad, according to the Boston Herald. [+]
Impact: Nunn is apparently a very athletic receiver with a penchant for acrobatic catches, he just couldn't crack the roster in New England. He'll now be part of a very young offense down in Tampa Bay. ( Fanball - Mon. Nov 23, 2009) |
News: Winslow caught five passes but for only 29 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-7 loss to the Saints Sunday. [+]
Impact: On the positive side Winslow was targeted 13 times by quarterback Josh Freeman. More often than not Winslow should post decent fantasy numbers as long as Freeman is under center. ( RotoWire - Nov 22, 2009) | |
