The Buccaneers recorded a sack and a takeaway in the 29-28 loss to the Falcons in Week 15.
Analysis: This was a brutal divisional loss for a second week in a row. Now, they have given up 25.3 points per game (24th), but they have added 20 takeaways (seventh) and 2.4 sacks (15th). Now, they face the Panthers for the first time of the season. The Panthers have shown some fight lately with 21.8 points per game over the last four games while giving up just three games. However, the Panthers' strong suit is on the ground, where they rank ninth in the league, but the Bucs have a sturdy run defense, rounding out at 10th. There's some risk here, but there's enough upside to make it worth rolling the dice in deep formats.
