Akiem Hicks, Vita Vea Expected To Play Monday Night
2 years agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to have both defensive linemen Akiem Hicks (foot) and Vita Vea (foot) for the Monday night game against the New Orleans Saints, according to sources. Both players were listed as questionable for Week 13, but the Bucs should have both on defense on Monday. Hicks has only played in five games this year due to injury. Having both Hicks and Vea active against the Saints will be a big boost to a defensive unit that is already a strong play this week in fantasy lineups. Vea was a first-time Pro Bowler last year and has 28 tackles (13 solo), seven tackles for loss, 11 QB hits, a career-high 6.5 sacks and one forced fumble in his 11 starts this season.
