How will the Tampa Bay Buccaneers do this season?
Asked in: Allen Bradford, Arrelious Benn, Cadillac Williams, Connor Barth, Daniel Hardy, Earnest Graham, Josh Freeman, Josh Johnson, Kellen Winslow, LeGarrette Blount, Luke Stocker, Michael Clayton, Mike Williams (TB), Tampa Bay D/ST
They should vie for a playoff spot again this year. It will be tough in the same division as Atlanta. I think they'll go 9-7.
Who is a better draft pick: Reggie Wayne or Mike Williams (TB)?
Asked in: Reggie Wayne, Mike Williams (TB), Wide Receivers, Indianapolis Colts, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Reggie Wayne is the more proven, but Colts have more mouths to feed. MWTB is on a younger team and only has 1 year behind him. Normally you want to go with the proven talent, but it all comes down to what pick you are looking at these two players at. MWTB is going on an average around round 4 and Wayne is going around round 2, so you could really have both depending on your league.
Who is a better draft pick: Hakeem Nicks or Mike Williams (TB)?
Asked in: Hakeem Nicks, Mike Williams (TB), Wide Receivers, New York Giants, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
This is tough, but I really like Mike Williams. I think he'll produce similar to last year but on a more consistent basis as Tampa continues to improve.

Who is a better draft pick: Mike Williams (TB) or Miles Austin?
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB), Miles Austin, Wide Receivers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dallas Cowboys
Miles Austin is the more solid pick for sure. Theres a lot of hype on Mike Williams right now and he is certainly a rising star, but Miles Austin has proven his worth over a few years now, particularly when Romo is healthy. Miles is supported by a more solid cast all around and I think you are sure to get a return on your investment with Miles. Mike Williams is definitely more of a gamble.

Asked in: Mike Williams (TB), DeSean Jackson, Wide Receivers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles
Mike Williams. He's more consistent and potentially a better talent. DeSean scares me
Who is a better draft pick: Mike Williams (TB) or Terrell Owens?
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB), Wide Receivers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cincinnati Bengals
Until TO actually signs somewhere, I think this has gotta be Mike Williams.

Who is a more exciting player: Mike Williams (TB) or Jeremy Maclin?
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB), Jeremy Maclin, Wide Receivers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles
Mike Williams is more exciting, he will make big play and more difficult catches.
Who is a more exciting player: Mike Williams (TB) or DeSean Jackson?
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB), DeSean Jackson, Wide Receivers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles
DeSean is the more exciting player, exciting is his middle name. Williams is the better pick.
Who's going to be the breakout offensive player of the year?
Asked in: Ahmad Bradshaw, Beanie Wells, Matt Forte, LeGarrette Blount, Mike Williams (TB), Josh Freeman, Julio Jones
Felix will have the best statistical year of his career. Julio Jones will be good enough to leach receptions from Roddy White all year. I don't see why Blount won't have his best year in TB. A true breakout star though is ready in St. Louis in Lance Kendricks. TE1 on the depth chart, he led the pass-happy preseason offense of the Rams in receptions and stats. Remains to be seen if they will continue their pass-happy ways with a Pro Bowler like Steven Jackson in the backfield, but something tells me Josh McDaniels just can't resist stretching that golden arm of Sam Bradford. I mean hell, the Broncos led the league in passing with an average arm in Kyle Orton last year. Kendricks is a beast with good hands, good feet, and can block surprisingly well for a rookie, keeping this huge target on the field for most all downs.
Some players do not show up when I import my teams from Yahoo.
Asked in: LeGarrette Blount, Mike Williams (TB)
you just have to add the player yourself. Click on your team and type players name in the search box that is located next t each individual player, so in this case RB
I start 3 WR's and not sure who to start week 1. Mike Wallace, Mario Manningham, Ochocinco, and Mike Williams (TB). Was thinking Wallace, Ocho, and Manningham. Thoughts?
Asked in: Mike Wallace, Chad Ochocinco, Mario Manningham, Mike Williams (TB)
i would go wallace, manningham and williams over ochocinco. Tampa Bay plays Detroit week 1, and even though Detroit's front 4 is good, their secondary is still bad. Ocho looks a bit lost with the Pats
What do you think of going WWQRRW @ 7 pos. in an 8 man league?
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB), Ahmad Bradshaw, Arian Foster, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Roddy White
First and foremost, you should always draft for value ahead of position. That said, it's also good to pay attention to who's coming off the board by position, so keep a cheat sheet on hand. I agree w Anthony, you have to get a solid RB in the first two rounds in PPR--then shoot for the best available WR/RB in 3/4. I'd try and take a QB in the 5th since this is an 8 man league.
Is Mike Williams (TB) a top tier WR?
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB), Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Wide Receivers
I think he is. Very little in terms of competition for targets in Tampa Bay, plus Josh Freeman is an above-average starter. I have him in my top 10, for sure.
TRADE:
Asked in: Aaron Rodgers, Mike Williams (TB), Philip Rivers, Arian Foster
Is Mike Williams (TB) going to end up being a bust or is this the time to buy low?
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB)
I think it's time to buy low, but we'll see. TB needs to get their offense together.
Week 3 WR Start: Mike Williams (TB) or Robert Meachem?
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB), Wide Receivers, Robert Meachem
Out of Mike Williams (TB), Deion Branch, Nate Burleson and David Nelso, which two would you start for week 3? Thanks.
Asked in: Wide Receivers, Deion Branch, Nate Burleson, Mike Williams (TB)
Right now Burleson has more catches and yards than Megatron. so for me it's nasty nate all the way
Mike Williams (TB) and Chris Johnson for Brandon Marshall, Fred Jackson, and Tim Hightower
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB), Chris Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Fred Jackson, Tim Hightower
I wouldn't do that. CJ is by far the best player in that deal (although he has been awful so far).
Pick two: Jordy Nelson, AJ Green, Mike Williams
Asked in: Jordy Nelson, Mike Williams (TB), A.J. Green
Nelson, Williams, definitely. I don't think you can trust anything or anyone in Cincinnati right now.
Which WR's to use this week? Pick 3
Asked in: Dwayne Bowe, Robert Meachem, Mike Williams (TB), Jeremy Maclin
I would use Meachem, Maclin and WIlliams.. KC is really struggling and they just lost Charles for the year!
Pick 3: Reggie Wayne, Mike Williams (TB), Harvin, McCluster.
Asked in: Reggie Wayne, Mike Williams (TB), Percy Harvin, Dexter McCluster
Pick up Torrey Smith or Denarius Moore?
Asked in: Torrey Smith, Denarius Moore, Wide Receivers, Chad Ochocinco, Mike Williams (TB)
Any other options? Nate Washington? If Maclin isn't playing then Steve Smith might be a good one week fill in. Mike williams in Seattle might see more targets next week. I think Mike Williams TB will pick it up though, Ocho I'm not too sure about.
Pick 3: Mike Williams TB, Davone Bess, Lance Moore, Eric Decker, Manningham, Torrey Smith
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB), Davone Bess, Lance Moore, Mario Manningham, Torrey Smith
Hmmm, I don't love anyone here, so Williams, Moore, Decker for me.
Mike Williams (TB)
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB)
Jordy Nelson and Chad Henne for Ryan Fitzpatrick
Asked in: Jordy Nelson, Chad Henne, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Mike Williams (TB), Andre Johnson
I think Freeman will be able to hold up, but I think you can get better value that Jordy Nelson. You don't need Chad Henne.
Week 4 WR's - Standard League
Asked in: Vincent Jackson, Mike Williams (TB), DeSean Jackson, Mario Manningham, Mike Williams (TB)
Jackson, Jackson, Mannningham. V. Jackson is an obvious pick. I would not sit him unless he's hurt (or possibly against the Jets). After that, Manningham looks like he's going to start against an awful Arizona secondary. For the third, I just felt like D. Jackson is the higher upside pick, even though he's going against a relatively solid 49ers D. If you're looking for a safer pick with less upside, I would go with Nelson in your third spot. I don't like Williams right now and he's going against an Indy D that will likely get down early, allowing TB to just run the ball.

Pick 2: Manningham VS. Ariz D, Devery Henderson VS. Jac D, Mike Williams(TB) VS Indy D
Asked in: Mario Manningham, Devery Henderson, Mike Williams (TB)
I don't like Henderson this week. Everyone is healthy again on the saints!! I would go with Manningham and Williams. Williams vs. IND is a given, but Manningham now healthy is opposite a really beat up NIcks who is playing while still recovering from a hyper extended knee and bone bruise
Week 4 Start, which 2?: Mario Manningham, Mike Williams (TB) or Eric Decker
Asked in: Mario Manningham, Mike Williams (TB), New York Giants, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
They're all the same guy, but I think Manningham has the biggest chance to score.
Start Mike Williams, Sidney Rice or Meachem?
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB), Sidney Rice, Robert Meachem, Wide Receivers
I'd go with Mike Williams today. If anything's going to fire up Tampa, it'll be playing against Indy. Meachem's playing the Jags, so NO doesn't have to do a lot to win. Sidney's in a terrible offense with a terrible QB playing Atlanta.
I need to start 2 in a PPR league Roddy White, Mike Williams (TB), Steve Smith (CAR), Percy Harvin and Eric Decker
Asked in: Wide Receivers, Roddy White, Mike Williams (TB), Steve Smith (CAR), Percy Harvin
White and Smith. If White doesn't go then I'd probably say Williams. Harvin hasn't gotten the targets.
Reggie Wayne or Mike Williams (TB)
Asked in: Reggie Wayne, Mike Williams (TB), Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Indianapolis Colts
That's a pretty steep request at this point. My gut tells me Indy isn't doing a lot tonight, just cuz they haven't done a lot the whole year. I'd go with Williams.
Should I trade D Mac
Asked in: Eli Manning, Darren McFadden, Ray Rice, Mike Williams (TB)
I wouldn't do it. You can generally pick up serviceable QB fill-ins, but you won't find anything close to McFadden.
should i pick up ridley or torain?
Asked in: Stevan Ridley, Ryan Torain, Mike Williams (TB)
I would hold on to Williams, I think they are starting to focus on getting him the ball, meaning his numbers should improve. If you can find another spot, I would try to pick up Ridley, since it seems like you have your running back situation handled in the short term and his production will likely come later in the season.
I'm in trouble. My team is falling flat. Mainly at receiver. I have Mike Wallace, Steve Johnson, Mike Williams, Robert Meachem, and Jacoby Ford. Not much value here. Should I move one of my studs (Ray Rice, Jimmy Graham) to try to get a consistent reciever?
Asked in: Mike Wallace, Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Williams (TB), Steve Johnson, Robert Meachem, Jacoby Ford
I still think Wallace and Stevie can be great WR1 and WR2 options. The problem is that neither are consistent -- they're both boom/bust types. Still not sure what Mike Williams' deal is. Don't think Meachem has much value anymore with Colston back
Whats going on with Mike Williams (TB)
Asked in: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Mike Williams (TB)
I can't say for sure. But, the games I have seen he just looks like he's playing lazy and not really trying.. It's also the plays that the Offensive cord. is calling.. It just seems like they are looking to move the chains and use up clock instead of big plays! just my opinion!!
Better play at WR
Asked in: Percy Harvin, Mike Williams (TB)
Williams! He knows that he has been playing terrible and wants to fix that.. MIn still doesn't know how to use Harvin and I believe he is dealing with a rib injury right now.
should i trade gronkowski, burleson, and pierre thomas for mario manningham and mike williams
Asked in: Rob Gronkowski, Nate Burleson, Pierre Thomas, Mario Manningham, Mike Williams (TB)
I think that's giving up way too much, esp with gronkowski...you're talking about TB Mike Williams right?
Pick 3: Williams TB. Walter, Garcon, Little PPR
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB), Kevin Walter, Greg Little, Pierre Garcon
Well none of these actually have good match-ups!! I would definitely go with Walter and Little and think it would be a coin flip between Williams and Garcon.. I do give a slight edge to Garcon.. No specific reason other than I want him to do good!
Marshall, Williams (TB) or Nelson at WR today?
Asked in: Brandon Marshall, Mike Williams (TB), Wide Receivers, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
What 2 receivers should I start? Santana Moss, James Jones, Mike Williams (TB)
Asked in: Santana Moss, James Jones, Mike Williams (TB)
Eesh, I'd go Moss and Mike Williams, but I can understand a James Jones start over Mike Will.
Can start 2 of the following: Little, Williams(TB), Baldwin(Sea)
Asked in: Greg Little, Mike Williams (TB), Doug Baldwin
Pick 2 WR and 1 Flex - Garcon, Little, Decker, Heyward-Bey, Williams (TB), Maurice Morris
Asked in: Pierre Garcon, Greg Little, Mike Williams (TB), Darrius Heyward-Bey, Maurice Morris
Do you think it's a good idea that the NFL is having games in London?
Asked in: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Mike Williams (TB), Chicago Bears, Matt Forte, Jay Cutler
I think any cultural imposition on the British is the least we could do after that whole colonization thing...too soon? But seriously, they're thinking about a permanent team in London - not sure how they'd play West Coast teams unless it's in a neutral stadium.
What WRs pick two
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB), Julio Jones, Anquan Boldin, Roy E. Williams, Michael Crabtree
I'm not even sure if Julio is set to go this week! I would go M. Williams, Boldin and if he's 100%, Julio. But watch his status closely. anything under 100% I would then go with Crabtree. Who else do you have on the wire? I would look to drop Roy unless this is a really deep league!
Bench one: Bowe, Manningham, Fitzgerald, Williams (TB)
Asked in: Dwayne Bowe, Mario Manningham, Larry Fitzgerald, Mike Williams (TB)
I would probably sit Williams, if it was me. I like the matchup of Eli and NE better. Rams with injuries and weak in the secondary. I think they may have a let down after beating NO last week, so play Fitz. NO will probably be fired up after losing last week. Miami is just bad this year.
Williams (TB), Heyward-Bey, Julio Jones - Need 2
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB), Darrius Heyward-Bey, Julio Jones, Nate Washington, Wide Receivers
I'd start Mike Williams and Julio Jones, don't know how DHB will do with Palmer at the helm. I like Nate Wash too, possibly better than Mike Williams.
Should I trade Steve Smith for Bradshaw, Mike Williams (TB) and Aaron Hernandez?
Asked in: Steve Smith (CAR), Mike Williams (TB), Aaron Hernandez
Depends what you need on your team. Bradshaw is the best player in that deal when healthy, but he's gotta foot problems right now.
Should I drop either James Jones or Mike Williams (TB) and pick up Laurent Robinson off of waivers? If so, who should I drop for Robinson?
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB), James Jones, Laurent Robinson
No, I wouldn't. Even with Austin out, I don't think Robinson is better than those guys. If anyone, I'd drop James Jones.
Should I trade Benson, Williams (TB), and Laurent Robinson for Andre Johnson, Daniel Thomas, and Dexter Mccluster
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Andre Johnson, Mike Williams (TB), Daniel Thomas
Definitely. Andre Johnson is the key player in this deal, and he could make a major difference in the playoffs for you.
Slumpy Vernon Davis vs NYG or Visanthe Shiancoe @ GB? Manningham @ SF, Mike Williams TB vs Hou, or David Nelson @ Dal?
Asked in: Visanthe Shiancoe, Vernon Davis, Mario Manningham, Mike Williams (TB)
Tough time with WR, need to start 3 of 5
Asked in: Dwayne Bowe, Larry Fitzgerald, Mario Manningham, Mike Williams (TB)
Bowe, Fitzgerald and Manningham (unless Stevie Johnson is out, he's questionable, then I would start Nelson over Manningham)
Should I start Pettigrew over these receivers?
Asked in: Santana Moss, Mike Williams (TB), Mario Manningham, Pierre Garcon, Brandon Pettigrew
Yes I think you should. Everyone has not done much as of late. and Pettigrew is still the number 2 Wr on Det.

No answers yet! Jump on it and be the first.
Flex Postion: Roy Helu, Dez Bryant, or Mike Williams (TB)
Asked in: Roy Helu, Dez Bryant, Mike Williams (TB)
Only 2 with good match-ups are Williams and Dez. They are saying Freeman has a sore shoulder and Miles might be back in the line-up for Dallas. But that still remains to be seen this week! I have a feeling only one of these players will have a big day, not sure which one. I might go with Helu just because he is the starter, but I don't expect the same from him as last week. I would rather say one of the WR's, but I favor a RB in the flex to much.
Mike Williams (TB) or Anquan Boldin?
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB), Anquan Boldin, Wide Receivers
I really like Williams due to his match-up against Car! He has also started finally show up last few weeks. Boldin has a tough secondary match-up against Cle, who is much easier to run on.
I need one in a .5 PPR league Flex position: C. Benson, C.J. Spiller or M. Williams (TB).
Asked in: Cedric Benson, Mike Williams (TB), C.J. Spiller, Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Is Mike Williams (TB) worth a play over V-Jax, Jordy, or Dez B?
Asked in: Mike Williams (TB), Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Vincent Jackson, Jordy Nelson, Dez Bryant, San Diego Chargers, Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys
Tough one. I've struggled to get Williams into the action all season and never gotten good output from him. TB is too erratic. Jordy Nelson and Vincent Jackson are huge parts of their offense and seem to always get the targets, so I would keep Williams for a rainy day. Kind of disappointing given his talent level.
Need 1 qb and 3 out of the 4 WR's!
Asked in: Drew Brees, Cam Newton, Greg Jennings, Mike Williams (TB), Brandon Lloyd, Dwayne Bowe
I agree with Jay. Bree's and cam are both going to do well this week, but the Saints offense is performing much better than Carolina. Jennings is a must start. Aside from Steven Jackson, Brandon Lloyd is the only other offensive weapon so he should post some solid numbers. Mike Williams, despite his disappointing 2011 performance, has had no less than 5 receptions and 80 yds with 2 tds in his last three games. He has a tough matchup and freeman is dinged up, but he is a much better option than Bowe or anyone on the chiefs for that matter.
Bowe, Mike Williams (TB) or Crabtree?

This is my starting line-up, what you guys think? Playoffs!!
Asked in: Drew Brees, Julio Jones, Laurent Robinson, Felix Jones, Mason Crosby, Cincinnati D/ST, Cam Newton, Mike Williams (TB), Dwayne Bowe
I think you got it. I might consider Bowe over Brown because of Roethlisberger being banged up and the possibility of Orton getting the start in KC. Neither reasons might end up being factors, but maybe something to keep in mind.
Need 3: Bowe vs GB, Marshall @ BUF, Fitzgerald vs CLE, Mike Williams TB vs DAL, Santana Moss @ NYG
Asked in: Larry Fitzgerald, Brandon Marshall, Dwayne Bowe, Mike Williams (TB), Santana Moss
I think Marshall, Fitz and Bowe are still your best options. Moss might be more consistent, while Williams is due for a good game against a Dallas secondary that has trouble tackling.
