The Tampa Bay Times suggests Josh Freeman could get off to a slow start this season in the Bucs' new offense. New OC Mike Sullivan's scheme requires Freeman to "do and understand more than ever before," making pre-snap reads and adjusting pass routes at the line of scrimmage based on them. "It's going to be a process," writes beat reporter Stephen Holder, who anticipates "hiccups" early in the season. The Bucs are also going with a run-first offense, hurting Freeman's fantasy football appeal.
