Veteran LB paired with Roberts in Week 2, contributing a half-sack and anchoring the interior rush; his presence amplifies the rookie’s transition and stabilizes Tampa Bay’s front against the run and pass.

Season-long disruption on the interior may briefly boost veteran linebackers’ tackles and leadership, but overall unit ramains a question mark as the front stabilizes behind new interior pressure.

David supplied veteran disruption and steady defensive production, reinforcing the Buccaneers’ unit as a reliable fantasy option in IDP formats.

David’s return anchors TB’s defense, boosting run-stopping and coverage communication. While not a typical weekly fantasy pickup, his presence can influence IDP scores and the team’s overall defensive ceiling in Week 1 against Atlanta.

David is the veteran spine of TB’s defense, providing leadership and playmaking that elevate the unit's ID on the field and in fantasy, especially in tackle-heavy formats.
