Adams changes diet: The St. Petersburg Times reports Bucs DE Gaines Adams has changed his diet from last year. "Oh, it was bad," Adams said of his former eating habits. "I drive by all these McDonald's, and then I see Chick-fil-A. You just want to get a 12-piece (nuggets meal)." For a fourth overall draft pick with a $46-million rookie contract, Adams continued to eat like a broke college kid, something he had recently been. But the 24-year-old has overhauled his diet, all but eliminating his daily burger-joint runs. He also has rededicated himself to the weight room at the urging of defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin and others, and all involved believe the moves will pay dividends this season. "Right now I've been working hard trying to get the fat down and turn it into muscle," Adams said. "At the same time, I'm trying to keep up my conditioning. I'm really trying to eat healthy, too. Before, I would go to McDonald's all the time. Now I've made up my mind. I go to Subway and get me a nice sub and go home and take a good nap and get ready for the next day." (Updated 05/29/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Last year, Adams ended with 38 total tackles (28 solo), six sacks, two passes defensed and two forced fumbles. He played well and should be considered a low-end No. 2 DL in 2008 if he gets his weight in order. (Updated 05/29/2008).
