 Bucs make roster moves
|
Updated 10/20/2009 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |

Bucs list Week 6 inactives
|
Updated 10/18/2009 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |
|
Askew won't be active Week 6
|
Updated 10/16/2009 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |
|
Askew gets one rush in loss
|
Updated 10/11/2009 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |
|
Clayton, Askew go without stats
|
Updated 10/4/2009 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |
|
Askew's one catch goes backwards
|
Updated 9/27/2009 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |
|
Three Buccaneers don't record stats
|
Updated 9/21/2009 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |
|
Askew hauls in one reception
|
Updated 9/13/2009 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |
|
Askew scores touchdown
|
Updated 12/21/2008 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |
|
Five Buccaneers don't record stats
|
Updated 12/14/2008 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |
|
Askew gets four offensive touches
|
Updated 12/9/2008 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |
|
Several Bucs miss out statistically
|
Updated 11/30/2008 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |
|
Askew gets one carry
|
Updated 11/23/2008 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |
|
Askew, Smith to see reps?
|
Updated 11/17/2008 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |

Askew returns with touchdown
|
Updated 11/16/2008 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |
|
FB Askew expected back
|
Updated 11/14/2008 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |
|
Buccaneers name Week 9 inactives
|
Updated 11/2/2008 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |
|
Bucs list Week 8 inactives
|
Updated 10/26/2008 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| News: The Bucs inactives for Week 8 include QB Brian Griese (third QB), WR Dexter Jackson, QB Josh Johnson, RB Michael Bennett, FB B.J. Askew, WR Maurice Stovall and DL Greg Peterson. | Analysis: Keep Bennett and Griese out for Week 8. The rest of these players have minimal Fantasy value, and Jackson is used mostly on special teams at this time. |
|
Griese among Bucs inactives
|
Updated 10/19/2008 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |
 Bucs down two offensive players
|
Updated 10/17/2008 |
| B.J. Askew, FB TB | |
| 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. |
