Will he start the entire season?

Which Will Allen are you discussing? Will Allen (CB Mia) looks like he's held onto the starting corner position. Will Allen (S TB) has had a decent camp and has held off Tanard Jackson. Last I heard was that he was playing well enough to keep the rookie on the bench for the foreseeable future. Not much value for either in most leagues.

Thanks...Will Allen from TB. You are right: There may not be much upside here.

Rotoworld:

"Rookie Tanard Jackson is now running as the Bucs' starting free safety.

The fourth-rounder was a standout during training camp and has apparently passed Will Allen on the depth chart. Allen is expected to remain a contributor as Tampa's third safety, but Jackson brings better playmaking skills."

Is the FS position in TB a good place to rack up tackles? Is Jackson now a possible big time sleeper?

TAMPA - The Bucs have spent the last few days tweaking more than their roster. They’ve been toying with their starting lineup as well.

Though nothing is set in stone, it’s looking like rookie Tanard Jackson will start ahead of Will Allen at free safety in Sunday’s season opener at Seattle.

Jackson had a wildly impressive trainig camp and continued to make plays when the Bucs began playing preseason games. Now it appears he’s going to get a chance to show off his skills on a regular basis during the regular season.

Jackson said he’s not ready to declare hismelf the starter yet, and it’s likely that Allen will continue to get a lot of playing time. It should also be noted that the Bucs tend to work three safeties rather regularly, but Jackson, who has been running with the first teamers since Sunday, seems set to get the bulk of the work at free safety.

Jackson will tackle better than Allen and should provide more in the big play department. Those in deep leagues should pick him up, but I wouldn't go cutting anyone with known value to get him yet. He's unlikely to crack the top 40 in the Buc scheme.
