Cade Otton has TE2 Value for Week 7

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has picked up the slack over the last few weeks. Otton was awful to start the season, but finished with 81 receiving yards in Week 5 and hauled in five receptions for 51 yards last week. The Bucs are starting to believe in Otton and he's beginning to […]

Kameron Johnson Could Offer Flex Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Kameron Johnson came out of nowhere and had a solid game versus the San Francisco 49ers last week.

Sterling Shepard Offers Flex Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard could be asked to play a significant role in the upcoming Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions.

Also, Mike Evans (hamstring) and Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) are considered game-time decisions for Monday's […]

Tez Johnson Offers Boom-or-Bust Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson has been making some nice plays over the last few weeks. He hauled in four receptions for 59 yards in Week 5 and caught a 45-yard touchdown during last week's game. The rookie wideout has seen more of the field recently with the Bucs banged up on offense. […]

Sean Tucker a Touchdown-Dependent Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker figures to see more chances in the backfield with Bucky Irving (foot) missing another game. Last week, Tucker rushed six times for 25 yards and a touchdown in the win over the San Francisco 49ers. Rachaad White is the lead back while Irving is out, which means Tucker […]

Rachaad White Remains on RB2 Radar

Xavier Legette Avoidable for Week 7

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette was unable to find much success versus the Dallas Cowboys last week. Legette hauled in both his targets for 11 yards in the win.

Jalen Coker a Risky Choice for Week 7

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (quad) has been activated off the injured reserve. Coker is set to make his season debut against the New York Jets in Week 7. It's great to see the 23-year-old back in action, but it's unclear how significant of a role he'll have in his first game back. The […]

Tetairoa McMillan Offers Low-End WR2 Value

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan is coming off a two-touchdown performance against the Dallas Cowboys last week. McMillan finished with a season-low 29 receiving yards, but the two scores salvaged his fantasy value. The rookie wideout only saw five targets last weekend, but had seen eight or more in every game before that. The […]

Chuba Hubbard Offers Flex Value for Week 7

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (calf) will return to the field for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the New York Jets.

Freddy Peralta Could be Traded This Offseason

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta is expected to be on the trading block this offseason. The Brewers will undoubtedly exercise Peralta's $8 million club option for the 2026 season.

It sounds like the superstar pass rusher […]

Trevon Diggs Out for Week 7

Dallas Cowboys defensive back Trevon Diggs (concussion) has been ruled out for the Week 7 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Diggs reportedly had an incident at his home on Thursday that has landed him in concussion protocol. There isn't much information outside of that, but his absence will certainly hurt this secondary. Luckily for Dallas, […]

Ray-Ray McCloud III Won't Play in Week 7

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
