David posted seven tackles (five solo) -- including a half-tackle for loss -- in Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Just more of the same for David, who's managed at least six tackles in five straight contests. The 27-year-old linebacker continues to be one of the most consistent IDP options on the Bucs, and he's enjoying a nice bounce-back season after posting a career-low 87 stops in 2016.

David posted six tackles (four solo) -- including one for loss -- in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
David continues to serve as a steady source of tackles, with Sunday's game serving as his fourth straight with at least six stops. The 27-year-old linebacker has yet to record a sack this season, but he's already tied a career high with four forced fumbles while also establishing a new high-water mark with four fumble recoveries. David's week-to-week consistency should continue rendering him an above-average IDP option for the balance of the campaign.

David posted six tackles (three solo) -- including a half-tackle for loss -- and a quarterback hit in Sunday's 30-20 win over the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old Miami native enjoyed a successful homecoming, as he posted a third consecutive solid tackle tally. David has 21 stops over his last three games, a haul that includes a total of 2.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage. The six-year pro looks to be significantly more instinctual in his second season defensive coordinator Mike Smith's scheme, rendering him an above-average IDP option at the linebacker position.

David posted eight tackles (seven solo), including two for loss, in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
The sixth-year linebacker continues to rack up the stops, and outside of a pair of three-tackle outings, he's tallied at least seven tackles in each contest thus far in 2017. That level of production puts David well ahead of last year's pace, one that led to a career-low 87 tackles. The Pro Bowler has also already equaled his career high with four forced fumbles and established a new high-water mark with four fumble recoveries. He'll look to continue churning out superior IDP production against the Dolphins in Week 11.

David provided seven tackles (six solo), one forced fumble and one pass defensed in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
David bounced back from a forgettable three-tackle outing in Week 8 against the Panthers with a strong effort in a losing cause Sunday. His first-quarter strip of Alvin Kamara at the Buccaneers' 28-yard line, which was recovered by T.J. Ward, snuffed out a scoring threat and was one of the few bright spots on the afternoon for Tampa in a dismal defeat. David's sideline-to-sideline speed and knack for creating turnovers (four forced fumbles over first eight games) enables him to retain solid fantasy value in all IDP formats.

David (ankle) totaled 14 tackles (12 solo), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old was all over the field against a run-heavy Bills attack, racking up his most tackles in a game since Week 3 of the 2015 season. David's forced fumble and recovery was also especially timely. He separated LeSean McCoy from the ball at the Buccaneers' 48-yard line with 9:30 remaining in the contest, a turnover that Tampa was able to eventually parlay into a 12-yard Mike Evans touchdown reception. The Pro Bowl linebacker's three fumble recoveries on the season have notably accounted for three of the five touchdowns the Bucs have logged off turnovers in 2017, as per Scott Smith of the team's official site. With just one quiet game this season -- which came in Week 6 after David had missed the prior two contests with an ankle injury -- the six-year veteran is once again a prominent IDP asset after a down campaign in 2016.

David (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 7 tilt against the Bills, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, David suits up after putting in a full practice Friday. The 27-year-old linebacker returned in the Week 6 loss to the Cardinals and logged three solo tackles and a touchdown fumble return.

David (ankle) was able to practice fully Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 7 tilt against the Bills, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
David made a successful return from a three-game absence in Week 6 against the Cardinals, returning a Larry Fitzgerald fumble 21 yards for a touchdown and logging three solo stops overall over a robust 61 snaps. The 27-year-old was a limited participant both Wednesday and Thursday, so Friday's ramp-up in activity bodes well for his chances of taking the field Sunday. With Kwon Alexander (hamstring) likely to suit up against the Bills as well, the Bucs defense could have its full complement of first-team linebackers available for the first time since their Week 2 opener.

David (ankle) collected three tackles (all solo) and returned a fumble 21 yards for a touchdown in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
David didn't generate much from a tackle standpoint while participating in his first game since Week 3, but he made an impact play when he picked up a Larry Fitzgerald fumble early in the fourth quarter and took it 21 yards to the house. The tackle total was his lowest in the three games he's played, but David remains an above-average IDP option for his ability to generate numbers across the stat sheet.

David (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 6 tilt against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
David will thus make his first appearance since Week 3, bringing some reinforcement to a Bucs linebacking corps that is still missing Kwon Alexander (hamstring) for at least another week.
