News: The Bucs placed safety Cody Grimm on injured reserve Tuesday because of a hamstring injury.
Analysis: Grimm was mostly a special teams contributor for Tampa Bay and had no Fantasy value.
News: The Buccaneers continued trimming their roster Friday in preparation for the regular season and released the following players: defensive linemen Frank Okam and Amobi Okoye; defensive backs Larry Asante, Keith Tandy and Cody Grimm; linebacker Rennie Curran; and running back Mossis Madu.
Analysis: Okoye, a first-round pick at the age of 19, has already been rumored to rejoin the Bears. He had four sacks for Chicago last season. The other players were able to make an early impression in training camp and survive the first round of cuts. However, neither of them were ultimately expected to make a Fantasy impact this season and should be left on waivers at this point.
News: The Buccaneers officially placed S Cody Grimm on injured reserve Tuesday due to a knee injury. Grimm was carted off the field during Sunday's game against Atlanta after suffering an ACL injury.
Analysis: Grimm had 10 total tackles this year and was not a viable option in IDP formats prior to getting hurt. He should not be owned in Fantasy leagues.
News: The Buccaneers revealed on Monday that safety Cody Grimm will miss the remainder of the season after suffering an ACL injury in Week 3. Grimm was carted off the field during Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Analysis: Grimm had 10 total tackles this year and was not a viable option in IDP formats prior to getting hurt. He should not be owned in Fantasy leagues.
News: Tampa Bay DB Cody Grimm was carted off the field during Sunday's game against Atlanta with an apparent knee injury. He was ruled out for the remainder of the game after finishing with two tackles and a deflected pass on Falcons QB Matt Ryan.
Analysis: Grimm's injury certainly appeared serious as he needed a cart to leave the field. However, the severity was not announced so Fantasy owners should certainly keep an eye on his status. Grimm has 10 total tackles this year and should remain on waivers in all formats.
News: Tampa Bay rookie DB Cody Grimm, a seventh-round pick, missed the final five games with a broken leg in 2010 but has begun working out and is expected to be ready for training camp in 2011.
Analysis: Grimm has minimal Fantasy value heading into 2011. Keep an eye on his progress, but don't plan on drafting him in the majority of IDP leagues.
News: Bucs DB Cody Grimm suffered a broken left fibula at Baltimore in Week 12 and has been placed on injured reserve. His season is over.
Analysis: Grimm's year started poorly but he turned it around and was a pretty good part of the Bucs' secondary. Without him, defenses are likely to start attacking the deep middle of the field. Grimm can be set free in standard Fantasy formats.
News: Tampa Bay safety Cody Grimm hurt his left ankle Sunday and was carted off the field during the second quarter of a game against the Baltimore Ravens. Grimm was injured when Ravens receiver Anquan Boldin rolled over the safety's leg during an interception return by Tampa Bay's Aqib Talib. Details of the injury were not immediately known, but Buccaneers officials declared Grimm out for the remainder of the game. Grimm finished the game with four tackles before leaving.
Analysis: Grimm has been solid on defense for Tampa Bay this season. He has 57 tackles, two interceptions and a defensive touchdown on the year. Still, he's not yet worth having active in Fantasy IDP leagues since he's not yet consistent game in and game out.
News: The stock of Buccaneers rookie FS Cody Grimm, a seventh-round pick, continues to rise. "Cody Grimm is playing lights out," coach Raheem Morris said. "He's setting the tone. He's playing beyond his years. He's the definition of this football team." Grimm led the team in tackles in the Week 11 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Grimm has come a long way since getting torched against the Steelers in his first NFL start during the Week 3 game. Still, his numbers aren't Fantasy worthy just yet. He remains a low-end option at best.
News: Tampa Bay DB Cody Grimm led the Bucs with seven tackles in Week 11 against San Francisco. The Buccaneers would beat the 49ers, 21-0, winning for the first time at Candlestick Park since 1980 and only second ever in 13 tries.
Analysis: Grimm has 53 tackles on the season and has led the Buccaneers in tackles a few times. He's stepped up this year for Tampa Bay, but isn't worth owning in the majority of IDP leagues. Fantasy owners should view him as a low-end DB option in the deepest of leagues.
News: Tampa Bay DB Cody Grimm led the Bucs with eight tackles in Week 8 as they beat the Cardinals 38-35. This was the second time he's led the team in tackles this season.
Analysis: Grimm has 37 tackles and two interceptions on the year. The rookie has climbed the ladder in Tampa Bay. Granted Tanard Jackson was suspended, so Grimm's development has been forced a bit. Fantasy owners should consider Grimm an option in only the deepest of IDP leagues at this time.
News: Buccaneers rookie DB Cody Grimm notched his second interception in as many games in the Week 6 loss to the Saints. He also managed to rack up four tackles (three solo). Grimm also forced a fumble.
Analysis: Grimm has been picked on since he replaced suspended S Tanard Jackson in Week 3, but he is progressing. He has has notched 25 tackles and two interceptions through five games. Still, Grimm is not consistent enough to consider for Fantasy use in IDP leagues. Keep him off of rosters for now.
News: Buccaneers rookie DB Cody Grimm picked off Carson Palmer and returned the interception for a touchdown in a Week 5 win at Cincinnati. Grimm also led Tampa Bay with nine tackles.
Analysis: Grimm, a seventh-round pick out of Virginia Tech, has had an up-and-down first NFL season so far and is just too raw to be used in Fantasy play at the moment. The Bucs play New Orleans in Week 6.
News: Seventh-round draft pick Cody Grimm has agreed to a four-year contract with the Buccaneers. The son of Cardinals assistant head coach and former Redskins guard Russ Grimm was the first of Tampa Bay's three seventh-round selections. Grimm was an All-Atlantic Coast Conference linebacker at Virginia Tech last season, however the Bucs intend to use Grimm as a safety.
Analysis: Grimm has minimal Fantasy value this season and will likely see time on special teams if he makes the final roster. Ignore him in all leagues on Draft Day.
News: In addition to Oklahoma DT Gerald McCoy and UCLA DT Brian Price, Tampa Bay also drafted Vanderbilt DB Myron Lewis (third round), Virginia Tech DB Cody Grimm (seventh round), FSU LB Dekoda Watson (seventh round) and Stanford DE Erik Lorig (seventh round).
Analysis: None of these players drafted in Round 3 or later have much of a chance to start and be productive statistically. Keep them all off of Fantasy rosters.
