Lavonte David
LB - TB
2017 Outlook
Expert Note
View More NotesDavid saw a significant decline in production in 2016, registering a career-low in tackles with 86 after averaging 140+ total tackles in his first four seasons. Unfortunately, I don't see this decline as an anomaly. Kwon Alexander severerly eats into his opportunity and also gives the Bucs the flexibility to play David more in coverage. Unless they change his role for 2017, expect David to once again be a big-play reliant LB3+/LB2-.

View More NewsLavonte David records seven tackles and a forced fumble
Lavonte David tried to set his team up for success by forcing a fumble on Jimmy Graham that he returned 53 yards to the Seattle 25-yard line. Unfortunately, after a penalty nullified a Cameron Brate touchdown catch, Jameis Winston threw and interception in the end zone on the next play. He finished with five solo tackles and two assists on the day.
Fantasy Impact
David has been a disappointment this season. His tackle numbers are down from what everyone expected and he just has not hit value based on his draft position. He still has great upside and is a must own in most IDP leagues.
