The Tampa Bay Bucs Defense is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for the D/ST position. Target them as a free agent add off waivers for Week 17 of the 2023 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Buccaneers were one of the few DST bright spots in Week 16, scoring 16 fantasy points against the Jaguars after forcing four turnovers and allowing only 12 points. On the season, the Saints have been a negative DST matchup pretty much across the board.

However, the Buccaneers did have the highest fantasy scoring game against them, holding the Saints to only nine points in Week 4. Being a home favorite with implied points against below 20 is positive, and this is another team playing at home, clinging to a one-game division lead over their Week 17 opponent. A Buccaneers win plus a Falcons loss would lock up the division title for Tampa Bay, and I expect they come out swinging against their division rival. Look to add them in 12+ team leagues this week.
