News: The Bucs announced Monday that they have released FB B.J. Askew, DT Chris Hovan and CB Stoney Woodson. Askew was with the team for three seasons (2007-09) playing in 28 games with 15 starts. Last season he played in five of the first six games for Tampa Bay before being placed on the Non-Football Injury List on October 20.
Analysis: Askew will look to catch on with a new team this offseason, but he has minimal Fantasy value as a blocking FB. Ignore him on Draft Day in all leagues this year.
News: Defensive tackle Chris Hovan, cornerback Stoney Woodson and reserve fullback B.J. Askew were among six veterans released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Analysis: None of these players were expected to post relevant Fantasy stats in the first place. Keep them all off of rosters for now.
News: The Buccaneers announced Tuesday that they have signed CB Marcus McCauley and placed FB B.J. Askew on the Non-Football Injury List, ending his 2009 season. The team also announced that it has released CB Derrick Roberson from the active roster and re-signed him to the practice squad. Askew played in the first five games this season for the Buccaneers, starting two while Roberson was inactive last week against Carolina.
Analysis: None of these players are worth owning in any Fantasy leagues for 2009. Ignore them in all formats.
News: Tampa Bay RB B.J. Askew is listed among the Bucs' inactives for Week 6 against Carolina. The rest of the inactives are as follows: QB Byron Leftwich (3rd QB), WR Yamon Figurs, LB Quincy Black, DL Dre Moore and DL Kyle Moore.
Analysis: Askew is not a relevant Fantasy player and can continue to be ignored in all formats. The rest of the players on this list are exactly the same. Leftwich could retain value at some point down the line but it is doubtful at this point.
News: Tampa Bay RB B.J. Askew (back, neck) has been ruled out of the team's Week 6 game against the Panthers.
Analysis: Askew is not a relevant Fantasy player and can continue to be ignored in all formats.
News: Buccaneers RB B.J. Askew got one carry for zero yards in a Week 5 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Askew is a little-used option in Tampa and has no Fantasy value heading into Week 6 vs. Carolina.
News: Tampa Bay starter at WR Michael Clayton failed to make a catch during a loss to Washington in Week 4. Clayton and fellow starter FB B.J. Askew did not stat in the game.
Analysis: Clayton caught seven passes for 120 yards over the first two weeks of the season but has since failed to stat in consecutive games despite being healthy. He should see even less production with QB Josh Johnson under center. Do not use him, or Askew, in Fantasy play in Week 5 at Philadelphia.
News: Buccaneers RB B.J. Askew caught one pass for minus-one yard in Week 3's loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Askew doesn't feature nearly enough to have any Fantasy value heading into Week 4 at Washington.
News:B.J. Askew, Brian Clark and Josh Johnson did not record stats Week 2 against the Bills.
Analysis: None of these players ever does enough statistically to matter in Fantasy. Leave them all on waivers for Week 3 against the Giants.
News: Bucs RB B.J. Askew had one catch for four yards during a Week 1 loss to the Cowboys. He had no carries.
Analysis: Askew is pretty much in the lineup to be blocking fullback. He will get the occasional carry or reception, but it won't matter that much for him to be an effective Fantasy option. It's safe to ignore him heading into Week 2 against the Bills.
News: Tampa Bay FB B.J. Askew had one carry for 1 yard and a touchdown and one catch for 5 yards Sunday against San Diego.
Analysis: Askew has minimal Fantasy value at this time and should be used in any leagues in Week 17 against Oakland.
News: Buccaneers RB Clifton Smith, RB Jameel Cook, RB B.J. Askew, WR Brian Clark and QB Luke McCown didn't record offensive statistics Week 15 at Atlanta.
Analysis: None of these players ever does enough statistically to matter in Fantasy. Leave them all on waivers for Week 16 against the Chargers.
News: Buccaneers RB B.J. Askew ran three times for nine yards and also caught a nine-yard pass Week 14 at Carolina. He has only 16 touches on the season.
Analysis: Askew doesn't normally contribute on offense and should remain on waivers in Fantasy for Week 15 at Atlanta.
News: In the Buccaneers' 23-20 win vs. the Saints in Week 13, notable players who were active and dressed but didn't record an offensive stat included FB B.J. Askew, WR Ike Hilliard, RB Clifton Smith, FB Jameel Cook, TE Alex Smith, WR Joey Galloway, WR Brian Clark and backup QB Luke McCown.
Analysis: None of these players are must-start Fantasy options, with Galloway, Smith and Hilliard no better than low-end options in the deepest of leagues. The Bucs play at the Panthers in Week 14.
News: Buccaneers RB B.J. Askew got one carry for three yards in a Week 12 win at Detroit.
Analysis: Askew is a useful bruising running back for the Bucs, but isn't productive enough on a regular basis to warrant Fantasy use. Keep him off of rosters for Week 13 at New Orleans.
News: The Tampa Tribune reports that Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden said RB Earnest Graham is unlikely to play again this season with an ankle injury suffered vs. Minnesota in Week 11. "Earnest Graham's ankle looks to be a serious injury and his status for the rest of the season is very much in question," Gruden said. That means Warrick Dunn would be in line to start and see the lion's share of the carries for the Buccaneers going forward, with Cadillac Williams, Clifton Smith and possibly fullback B.J. Askew also getting some touches.
Analysis: Smith and Askew are nothing more than low-end additions to Fantasy rosters in the deepest of leagues at this point. Askew, a fullback, might receive work at the goal line (much like he did in Week 11 vs. Minnesota) while Smith could spell Dunn in the short-term, assuming he can hang on to the football. Ultimately, neither running back is worth owning in standard league play at this point, though if you wanted to take a flier on one of them and hope to get lucky, there's no reason not to.
News: Buccaneers FB B.J. Askew rumbled into the end zone from one yard out as Tampa Bay defeated the Vikings in Week 11. Askew, who hadn't played since Week 3 with a hamstring injury, also caught two passes for nine yards.
Analysis: Askew is a useful bruising running back for the Bucs, but isn't productive enough on a regular basis to warrant Fantasy use. Keep him off of rosters until further notice.
News: Bucs coach Jon Gruden expects FB B.J. Askew (hamstring) back for Week 11 vs. Minnesota. "I think he is (ready)," Gruden said. "As we said yesterday – if you'll be able to see the full 100-percent product, but we need him. We need to have him and between the tackles it will hopefully help us some."
Analysis: Askew isn't productive enough on a regular basis to warrant Fantasy use. Keep him off of rosters until further notice.
News: Buccaneers listed QB Brian Griese, WR Dexter Jackson, RB B.J. Askew, WR Maurice Stovall and QB Josh Johnson among their inactives for Week 9 at Kansas City.
Analysis: Griese used to start for the Buccaneers, but he has an elbow injury and won't unseat Jeff Garcia even when he returns. None of these other players does enough statistically to matter in Fantasy.
News: Tampa Bay lists the following players as being inactive for Week 7 against Seattle: QB Brian Griese, QB Josh Johnson (3rd QB), RB B.J. Askew, WR Maurice Stovall and DL Greg Peterson.
Analysis: The Bucs are sticking with QB Jeff Garcia for the time being and Griese has little Fantasy value at this time. The same goes with the rest of the aforementioned players.
News: Bucs RB B.J. Askew (hamstring) and WR Maurice Stovall (hamstring) have been ruled out for Week 7 vs. Seattle.
Analysis: Both players have a marginal role on offense when healthy and will not be missed in Fantasy Week 7. Continue to keep them off Fantasy rosters.
News: The Buccaneers listed the following players as inactive for Week 6 vs. Carolina: QB Josh Johnson (third QB), QB Brian Griese, RB B.J. Askew, WR Joey Galloway, LB Matt McCoy and DL Greg Peterson.
Analysis: Aside from Griese and Galloway, none of the players on this list should be considered viable Fantasy option. They are not in a position to contribute regular stats as they aren't in line for regular playing time. They've got some depth chart climbing to do and should be left on the waiver wire.
News: Bucs RB B.J. Askew (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 6 vs. Carolina. It will be the third straight game he misses due to injury.
Analysis: Askew is in a contract year this season, but he's never been productive enough for Fantasy use. Continue to ignore him in all formats.
News: Buccaneers FB B.J. Askew, who has a hamstring tear and has missed two straight games, is not expected to play against the Panthers in Week 6, according to The Sports Xchange.
Analysis: Askew is in a contract year this season, but he's never been productive enough for Fantasy use. Continue to ignore him in all formats.
News: Bucs QB Josh Johnson, DB Sabby Piscitelli, RB B.J. Askew, WR Joey Galloway, DL Greg Peterson and QB Luke McCown have all been ruled inactive for Week 5 at Denver.
Analysis: Galloway continues to miss time with a foot injury and the Bucs still have no firm timetable for his return. He is about the only player worth owning in Fantasy when active. Keep them all reserved Week 5.
News: Bucs RB B.J. Askew (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 5 at Denver. He suffered a hamstring strain Week 3 against the Bears and will miss a second straight game.
Analysis: Askew is in a contract year this season, but he's never been productive enough for Fantasy use. Continue to ignore him in all formats.
News: The Buccaneers have listed the Week 4 inactives for their Week 4 game vs. Green Bay. Not in uniform will be: QB Josh Johnson (third QB), FB B.J. Askew (hamstring), LB Matt McCoy (coach's decision), WR Joey Galloway (foot) and DT Ryan Sims (groin).
Analysis: Galloway was listed as out earlier in the week, so his name was expected to be on this list. None of these other players have any Fantasy value.
News:The Sports Xchange notes that B.J. Askew suffered a hamstring strain against the Bears and is expected to be questionable against the Packers in Week 4.
Analysis: Askew is in a contract year this season, but he's never been productive enough for Fantasy use. Continue to ignore him in all formats.
News: Notable Bucs pass catchers from Week 3 at Chicago include: Michael Clayton (five catches, 54 yards), TE Alex Smith (33 yards on three catches), FB B.J. Askew (18 yards on two grabs) and WR Maurice Stovall (16 yards on two catches with a fumble lost). TE John Gilmore added a 3-yard catch.
Analysis: Of these players, only Smith is worth considering as a bye-week replacement option when the Bucs host the Packers in Week 4.
News: Buccaneers RB B.J. Askew was held to one yard on three catches in Week 2 as Tampa Bay defeated Atlanta.
Analysis: Askew is in a contract year this season, but he's never been productive enough for Fantasy use. Continue to ignore him in all formats.
News: Buccaneers FB B.J. Askew made three catches for 20 yards in a Week 1 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Askew is in a contract year this season, but he's never been productive enough for Fantasy use. Continue to ignore him in all formats.
News: The Bucs kepts WR Joey Galloway, QB Jeff Garcia and FB B.J. Askew back in Tampa for Saturday's preseason game at Miami. Luke McCown started for Garcia, Maurice Stovall started for Galloway and Warrick Dunn started for Askew, but he played tailback instead of fullback.
Analysis: It was expected that all three wouldn't play since they were battling injuries. Continue to draft Galloway as a No. 3 Fantasy WR, Garcia as a No. 2 option and leave Askew undrafted. The same goes for McCown and Stovall, but Dunn is worth taking with a late-round pick in all leagues.
News: Last season, Bucs FB B.J. Askew caught 18 passes for 175 yards and no touchdowns. His only rushing attempt was a 3-yard gain in a loss to the Giants in the NFC wild-card game. Askew told the St. Petersburg Times he would like to be more involved in the offense. Coach Jon Gruden recognized Askew's versatility early last season. But a severe ankle sprain that hobbled Askew the final month of the season limited his touches. Askew, who was held out of the final two regular-season games, says his ankle is healthy again.
Analysis: Despite his pleas, don't expect Askew to dominate the offensive game-plan. He remains a low-end Fantasy option and is only worth drafting in leagues where fullbacks are a requirement.
News: Tampa Bay fullback B.J. Askew, who provided a major boost for the running game after joining the Bucs in 2007, signed a four-year contract extension, reports the St. Petersburg Times. Askew, who was entering the final season of a two-year contract, is signed through 2012. The deal is believed to be worth more than $8 million and include a signing bonus of $2 million. Askew, 27, had no carries last season but was a stout lead blocker credited by coaches with making a difference in the running game. He caught 18 passes for 175 yards.
Analysis: Askew has minimal Fantasy value since he doesn't get many carries and does little in the passing game. Keep him out of draft plans this summer unless your league specifically requires starting fullbacks.
News: Bucs RB/FB B.J. Askew didn't have a carry in 2007, but he did make 18 catches for 175 yards (9.7 avg.), a career-best for him.
Analysis: Askew will be in a contract year in 2008, but he's never been productive enough for Fantasy use. Keep him out of draft plans this summer unless your league specifically requires starting fullbacks.
News: Bucs RB B.J. Askew (ankle) was inactivated for Week 17 vs. Carolina.
Analysis: Askew was not a Fantasy factor in 2007 and that shouldn't change in 2008. Ignore him in Fantasy play.

Askew (ankle), LB Jeremiah Trotter (coach's decision), DE Greg Spires (calf) and DE Greg Peterson (coach's decision) were all named inactive for Tampa Bay's Week 15 game vs. Atlanta.
Analysis: None of the players on this list are in a position to help Fantasy owners. Leave them on the waiver wire until further notice.
News: Buccaneers RB B.J. Askew caught one pass for four yards in Tampa Bay's 28-14 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 14.
Analysis: Askew gets involved in the passing game now and again, but he doesn't get nearly involved enough to be worthy of use in Fantasy play. The Bucs host the Falcons in Week 15.
News: Bucs RB B.J. Askew caught three passes for 41 yards during a Week 13 win against the Saints. He was held without a carry and has yet to tote the rock in 12 games this season. He does have 17 receptions for 171 yards, but zero touchdowns.
Analysis: Askew is asked to clear the way for the running backs and catch a few passes out of the backfield. He is no Mike Alstott. Keep that in mind. Askew has little to no Fantasy value heading into Week 14 against the Texans.
News: Buccaneers RB B.J. Askew caught an eight-yard pass Week 11 at Atlanta.
Analysis: Askew has done well as one of Jeff Garcia's checkdown receivers, but he doesn't do enough offensively to matter in Fantasy. The Bucs host the Redskins in Week 12.
News: B.J. Askew didn't have any carries against Arizona Sunday, but he did make one catch early for a seven-yard gain.
Analysis: Askew has done well as one of Jeff Garcia's checkdown receivers, but he doesn't do enough offensively to matter in Fantasy Football play. The Bucs are on a bye in Week 10.
News: Bucs RB B.J. Askew caught two passes for 25 yards during a Week 8 loss to the Jaguars. His longest gain went for 22 yards. Askew did not record a rush in the game.
Analysis: Askew isn't a big part of the Tampa offense and that doesn't figure to change. He is nothing more than a blocking and pass catching fullback. Keep him on the waiver wire until further notice. The Bucs play the Cardinals in Week 9.
News: Bucs RB B.J. Askew had four catches for 36 yards Sunday against the Lions.
Analysis: Askew is a backup RB for the Bucs and has minimal Fantasy value. He should not be used in Week 8 against Jacksonville.
News: Buccaneers fullback B.J. Askew caught three passes for 33 yards Week 6 against the Titans.
Analysis: Askew isn't a big part of the Tampa offense, and that doesn't figure to change. Keep him on the waiver wire until further notice. The Bucs visit the Lions in Week 7.
News: Bucs RB B.J. Askew caught one pass for three yards during a Week 5 loss to the Colts. Askew doesn't have a carry in 2007 and has just three receptions for 21 yards.
Analysis: Askew isn't a big part of the Tampa offense and that doesn't figure to change. Keep him on the waiver wire until further notice. The Bucs play the Titans in Week 6.
News: Tampa Bay RB B.J. Askew caught one pass for 17 yards in Week 4 at Carolina.
Analysis: Askew isn't a big part of the Tampa offense and that doesn't figure to change. Keep him on the waiver wire until further notice.
News: Bucs RB B.J. Askew caught one pass for one yard during a Week 2 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Askew is nothing more than a fullback for the Bucs. He will catch an occasional pass, but does not need to be used in Fantasy leagues. The Bucs play the Rams in Week 3.
News: B.J. Askew was moved out of the starting lineup at the fullback position in Week 1 at Seattle. Askew got into the game, but he did not record any offensive statistics.
Analysis: Askew is not worth using in Week 2 when the Saints pay a visit to the Buccaneers at RayJay.
News: With the Bucs placing FB Mike Alstott on injured reserve, most likely ending his career, the door is open for B.J. Askew to be the club's full-time fullback.
Analysis: Askew won't put up many stats but will play a lot, which is good enough for those Fantasy owners who start fullbacks in their leagues. In those formats, he'd be worth a late-round pick. Otherwise, he's only good for one or two touchdowns all year.
News: Free-agent fullback B.J. Askew signed a contract with the Buccaneers. Askew, drafted by the Jets in the third round out of Michigan in 2003, has played in 55 games in his four NFL seasons, all with New York. He has 102 yards rushing on 27 carries and 12 catches for 73 yards in four seasons while being used mainly as a blocker. He was also a standout on special teams. Askew recently told The Associated Press that he wanted a chance to switch roles on the field, from fullback to halfback -- something he did while rushing for 1,580 yards and 17 touchdowns in college at Michigan. He also caught 83 passes for 777 yards and six TDs with the Wolverines. "B.J. enjoyed his time with the Jets, but he wanted an opportunity to utilize all of his talents," said Askew's agent, Scott Smith. "He is much more than a traditional blocking fullback, and now he will be playing in a system that has produced one of the most prolific power backs in history in Mike Alstott."
Analysis: Despite Askew's wishes to play more running back, he'll be behind Cadillac Williams and Michael Pittman in Tampa Bay (not to mention Mike Alstott). Look for Askew to block and be on special teams more than anything, making him useless in Fantasy play.
News: Jets RB James Hodgins (knee), DB David Barrett (hip), DB Andre Dyson (knee), DL Dewayne Robertson (knee), RB B.J. Askew (foot) and DB Kerry Rhodes (knee) are questionable, while DB Eric Smith (foot), DL Bryan Thomas (shoulder) and LB Matt Chatham (personal) are probable for Wild Card game at New England.
Analysis: None of these players should be used in Fantasy postseason play.
News: Jets RB B.J. Askew caught three passes for 14 yards in Week 17 vs. Oakland.

Askew (foot), DB Andre Dyson (knee) and DB David Barrett (hip) are questionable, while LB Matt Chatham (foot), QB Patrick Ramsey (calf), DL Bryan Thomas (shoulder) and DL Rashard Moore (hamd) are listed as probable for Week 17 vs. Oakland.
Analysis: Only Rhodes, Dyson and Thomas should be used in Fantasy leagues for Week 17. Ignore the other injured players.
News: B.J. Askew (foot) was able to play in Week 16 at Miami, but he did not record any offensive statistics.
Analysis: Askew is not worth using in Week 17 against Oakland or into the 2007 season in any Fantasy league.

Askew, Barrett, Coles, Houston, Schlegel and Smith are questionable and did not practice on Wednesday; the rest of the gang did practice on Wednesday and are listed as probable.

Askew, Barrett, Chatham, Smith and Thomas are questionable and did not practice on Wednesday; the rest of the gang did practice on Wednesday and are listed as probable.
Analysis: Outside of Pennington, not many of these guys have a significant role in Fantasy play. Barlow and McCareins are fringe longshots to get minimal stats in Week 15 since the Jets will likely pass early and often against the Vikings. Otherwise, ignore the rest of this group.
News: B.J. Askew (foot) has been declared inactive for Week 14 against Buffalo.
Analysis: When healthy, Askew is not a recommended Fantasy option. The Jets play at Minnesota in Week 15.
