Head coach Lovie Smith said Friday that David (hamstring) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Bears. Fortunately for David owners, the Bucs kick off during the early slate of games Sunday, so you'll know before the early lineup deadline whether the tackling machine will be operational Sunday. If David can't go, Brandon Magee is the most likely candidate to take his place.

David (hamstring) missed practice again Friday, the Tampa Tribune's Roy Cummings reports. After getting limited work Wednesday, David has now missed back-to-back days of practice, an ominous sign for his chances of playing Sunday at Chicago. We'll provide another update when the Buccaneers' release their official injury designations later Friday.

David (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports. David's hamstring was sore enough to hold him out of drills, which is a particularly worrisome development due to his status as the NFL's second-leading tackler. IDP owners should continue to watch the situation to ensure he takes the field Sunday at Chicago.

David (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, the Buccaneers' official site reports. David, who is a steady provider of tackles, currently ranks second in the category to only Luke Kuechly. Considering he didn't miss practice entirely, he's on course to take the field Sunday at Chicago.

David recorded 14 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. David leads the league with 103 tackles this season, and he continues to pile up LB1 numbers as one of the better IDP options throughout the league.

David (knee) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons. David was upgraded to a full participant in practice Friday, and fully expected to suit up for this contest. He'll start at outside linebacker, and with double-digit tackles in four of his last five games, David should be a solid IDP play this week.

David (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta. David practiced all week, including a full practice Friday, so it's generally hard to see him sitting this one out. He's of course an LB1 in all IDP formats if he does suit up.

David (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday, the Buccaneers' official site reports. David ranks second to Luke Kuechly in tackles -- 97 versus 89 -- but because David has played one fewer game, he leads the league in tackles per game with 11.1. IDP owners should monitor David's activity level as the week progresses in order to ensure his availability.

David recorded 14 tackles (10 solo) -- including one for a loss -- in Sunday's 48-17 loss to the Ravens. David duplicated his performance from last week, as the All-Pro linebacker continues to consistently dominate the second level of Tampa's defense.

David recorded 14 tackles (10 solo) and a pass defense in an overtime loss to the Saints. Two of his tackles were behind the line of scrimmage. David continues to impress as one of the most valuable linebackers in the NFL and in fantasy.
