Justin Evans leads revamped secondary in Week Seven win

Tampa Bay free safety Justin Evans led what looked like a revamped Buccaneer secondary with eight combined tackles over the Cleveland Browns.

Fantasy Impact:

By "revamped" we should consider that with fellow safeties Isaiah Johnson and Jordan Whitehead also seeing expanded playing time throughout the contest in what looked like three safety sets, newly crowned defensive coordinator Mark Duffner may have revamped how the defensive backs will be used going forward. These formations were seemingly present even before middle linebacker Kwon Alexander (knee) reportedly may have torn his ACL near the end of the second quarter. It is worth monitoring going forward to make sure that it isn't a simple case of game plan versus Cleveland or the fact that Johnson wasn't simply the best option to cover the slot over a depleted cornerback group.
