2023 Fantasy Outlook
Gaines arrived via free agency this offseason from the Rams and could prove to be a prudent addition to the Buccaneers' interior defensive line rotation. The fifth-year pro, who's completing a recovery from January biceps surgery, amassed 91 tackles and 8.5 sacks the last two years alone for Los Angeles, above-average numbers from a defensive tackle. Gaines projects to serve as Vita Vea's backup, but with over 700 defensive snaps logged in both of the last two seasons, he could be entrusted with a robust rotational role. Read Past Outlooks
Staying in Tampa Bay
Gaines and the Buccaneers agreed on a one-year contract Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Gaines spent the 2023 campaign with Tampa Bay, compiling 24 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, while also recovering a fumble over 17 contests. He'll provide the team with a veteran reserve option behind Vita Vea at nose tackle again in 2024.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Second on the team in snaps among Rams defensive lineman behind Aaron Donald last season, Gaines managed to triple his 2020 sack total with 4.5. Gaines worked 742 defensive snaps in 2021, nearly doubling his total (385) from his first two seasons in the league, and he looks to be firmly entrenched as the team's starting nose tackle.
