Outlook: The Bucs love Freeman’s potential and he is coming off a reasonably solid rookie season that was marked by some inconsistent play. Over his nine starts, he had three multi-touchdown games that were offset by five games with multiple interceptions, including a game in which he threw five picks against Carolina. He showed he has a strong arm, an ability to escape the rush, and the resourcefulness to take off running when plays break down. In 2010, he gains a pair of rookie wide receivers in Arrelious Benn and Mike Williams but loses Antonio Bryant. Quarterbacks generally need reliable receivers to be productive, and that’s not likely to happen for Freeman this year. He has the potential to be a fantasy starter in 2011. This year, not so much. Consider him as a prospect for dynasty leagues, but he isn’t worth drafting in most re-draft leagues
Bucs lose starting QB with thumb injury-- Sat Aug 21 8:00 pm -- Josh Freeman could be ready for Week 1
When Josh Freeman didn't go back onto the field for his second series Saturday night against Kansas City, followed later by the news he had fractured the tip of his right thumb, all you thought was, "Well, that's that." "It's a huge setback, obviously, when you lose your first quarterback," Bucs coach Raheem Morris said afterward. "But we're lucky. We expect him back in the first week of the season and that's very fortunate."(Tampa Tribune)
FF Today's Take:There's optimism that Freeman will be ready for week 1 but he will definitely miss the remainder of camp and vital reps with the first team offense. Without Freeman the Bucs will lose any fantasy luster and the hype surrounding rookie WR Mike Williams will simmer with the thought of Josh Johnson under center.
