Troupe competes for playing time: The Tampa Tribune reports Bucs coach Jon Gruden favors two-tight end formations, and with the offseason addition of four-year veteran Ben Troupe, he has another weapon at his disposal. Troupe will compete for playing time with John Gilmore, Alex Smith and Jerramy Stevens. "It's real competitive," Troupe said. "I mean, you obviously want a team that has a lot of competition at each position. They want to bring the best out of you. We actually have six guys, in my mind, which could start on any team. You want someone that's pushing you every day and that's definitely what we have at the tight end position." (Updated 07/09/2008).
Injury Report
No information available at this time (Updated 7/25/08).
Fantasy Analysis
Look for Troupe to be a reserve behind Smith and possibly Stevens also. He has minimal Fantasy value at this time and should not be drafted in most leagues in 2008. (Updated 07/09/2008).
