The 2024 NFL season kicks off in two days, with the Buccaneers kicking off in five days. With the preseason now complete, we have brand new projections for the 2024 Buccaneers squad’s season.
Mike Clay of ESPN has been tremendous in his work for their fantasy department and creating a model to project production from each position. He had previously released his projections before the preseason started and now he has updated ones.
For Bucs fans, we get to see what Baker Mayfield looks like with some financial security to boost his confidence. On defense, we get to see what Todd Bowles can do with a depleted secondary and a thin rotation of pass rushers.
