Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-7-0)
Morris, Dominik not expected to be one and done
A 0-16 season is a real possibility for the Buccaneers, but we hear the Glazer family will be patient and would most likely hold off on scrapping the Raheem Morris-Mark Dominik plan one year into its existence.

Johnson, Josh (QB)
The winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers have changed starting quarterbacks again, with rookie Josh Freeman taking over for Johnson.
Johnson struggled in four starts after Byron Leftwich led the team the first three weeks of the season.

Freeman, Josh (QB)
The winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers have changed starting quarterbacks again, with Freeman taking over the offense.
Freeman was the 17th pick in the first round of this year's draft. He made his NFL debut last Sunday, playing two series in the fourth quarter of a 35-7 loss to the Patriots in London. Freeman replaces second-year pro Josh Johnson.

Bryant, Antonio (WR)
Bryant had two catches for 51 yards and the Bucs' only touchdown in a 35-7 loss to New England in London on Sunday.
With Tampa Bay struggling, Bryant has been mostly quiet this season, and this was actually his best fantasy effort of the season. He remains a disappointing fantasy wide receiver, especially after his breakout late late year.
