Mike Glennon's Full Fantasy Scouting Report Following Josh McCown's Injury

Joseph ZuckerSep 18, 2014

Great, so there's another Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback you can completely ignore for your fantasy team.

Likely as an act of mercy more than anything else, the Bucs removed Josh McCown from Thursday night's drubbing at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons. Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reported that McCown injured his thumb and wouldn't return:

After the game, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times had Lovie Smith's thoughts on Glennon's play:

That elevated Mike Glennon into the starting role, thus beginning the discussion as to whether he has any sort of fantasy value this year.

All you really have to do is go off of last year's numbers to see that Glennon isn't worth picking up off the waiver wire until he strings a couple of good games together. He started 13 games for the Bucs in 2013, completing 59.4 percent of his passes for 2,608 yards, 19 touchdowns and nine interceptions.

A quarterback who throws a little over 200 yards a game isn't worth keeping on your fantasy bench unless he gives you something on the ground, too. And Glennon couldn't be much further from a mobile quarterback. Any rushing yards he gets are by complete accident.

The fact that the Buccaneers signed McCown in the first place and started him is as strong of an indictment on Glennon's ability as you can find. If Tampa had complete faith in Glennon, it never would've added McCown in the first place.

Bleacher Report's Matt Miller is already looking ahead to the 2015 NFL draft:

If Glennon assumes the full-time role, then you should certainly monitor his performance. The Buccaneers might have some more blowouts ahead that allow the offensive players to get some garbage-time numbers.

For now, stay away from the second-year signal-caller except in the most dire of circumstances.
