Lavonte David, Jamel Dean Ruled Out For Week 12

12 months ago

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles officially ruled out linebacker Lavonte David (groin) and cornerback Jamel Dean (ankle) for the Week 12 contest versus the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Devin White (foot) is also up in the air to play this weekend, so the Bucs could be missing three key defenders against Indy. With David out, K.J. Britt and SirVocea Dennis could both see increased snaps in the middle of Tampa's defense. Zyon McCollum and Dee Delaney should see more playing time in the secondary with Dean out. David was tied for 15th in overall fantasy points at the linebacker position in IDP leagues coming into Week 12, so fantasy managers in those formats will be forced to go in another direction if they were using David in a starting spot. It's a pretty big blow to the Bucs' defense this week.
