Is There a Tampa Bay Running Back Worth Drafting in Fantasy Football?

The short-form version of this article answers the question of draftable Tampa Bay Buccaneers running backs with a couple of simple "If This Then That" flowcharts.

If Tampa Bay trades for or signs someone like Melvin Gordon before the start of the season, then the answer is "Yes, there is a Bucs running back worth drafting." If they enter the 2019 season with rushers currently on their roster, the answer is a clear "No."

When considering late-round running back value, however, a deeper dive is necessary to determine whether there is any juice to be squeezed out of Tampa Bay’s two primary ball-carriers, Ronald Jones and Peyton Barber, and also if there is anyone else on the roster worth considering as an end-of-the-draft deep flyer.
