Luke Goedeke signed a four-year, 90 million extension with the Buccaneers, including 50 million guaranteed and 22.5 million annually, the third-richest deal for a right tackle. The move underscores Tampa Bay’s commitment to developing its own offensive line and deploying a top-tier front that aided Baker Mayfield and a prolific pass game last season.

Goedeke’s ascent from a 43.7 rookie grade to 72.5 in 2023 and 73.7 in 2024 mirrors a unit led by Tristan Wirfs, with TB posting elite pass protection and solid run blocking. The line’s performance coincided with Mayfield facing a surprisingly low 24.1% pressure rate, helping TB rank No. 2 in pass blocking and No. 10 in run blocking. The Buccaneersrafted four of five projected starters, including Graham Barton and Cody Mauch, cementing an OL-first philosophy.

Missouri’s high-powered attack, led by Beau Pribula, challenges Kansas as D.K. McDonald lauds the Tigers’ talent while Kansas leans on depth at linebacker and a youthful corner trio that’s begun to gain confidence. Pribula’s dual threat creates a dynamic fantasy scenario: expect rushing TDs alongside solid passing numbers, especially if KU pressures him into mistakes.

On Kansas’ side, the defense features multiple interchangeable pieces—Kamara, Todd, and Alexander—backed by Hurley and Graham II, with Leipold’s crew looking to slow a balanced Missouri attack. The collision sets up a game ripe for DFS intrigue and weekly fantasy pivots, especially for quarterbacks and versatile defenders who can rack up tackles, picks, and big plays.

MVP market spotlight centers Baker Mayfield at +3500 as Tampa Bay’s offense surges, with Bo Nix thrilling as a long shot in Denver. OPOY leans toward Brian Thomas Jr. and Ja’Marr Chase on volume and big-play potential. OROY is Cam Ward’s to lose, while Abdul Carter headlines DROY and Watt/Garrett anchor the DPOY conversation. COY chatter swirls around Callahan and Payton; comeback picks remain unsettled.
