Mike Evans More of a WR2 Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has had some trouble lately. His weekly performances have been inconsistent since Week 4 and it seems that quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has decided to look elsewhere when he's in trouble. Evans is still a must-start every week given his ceiling but we have to be aware of his lower floor […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick in Play as a QB1 Against Giants

Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick disappointed owners last weekend with an absolute dud against the Redskins but has a chance to bounce back against the Giants' porous defense. The New York Giants are basically in a weird rebuilding phase where they are pretending to try. With the current state of the defense and Eli Manning at […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries has received 30 targets over the past four games.

Adam Humphries, Chris Godwin Low-End WR3s for Sunday

Buccaneers wide receivers Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries are not the best starting options this coming Sunday but could be in play if you are desperate at the position. Bye weeks often ravage teams this late in the season and sometimes all you're left with is a waiver wire pick up or someone like Godwin […]

Flex DeSean Jackson on Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson is in his usual flex territory this coming Sunday against Washington. The Redskins gave up a few big plays to the Falcons last weekend, and although they might be more careful going forward, it's still possible for D-Jax to go off. Jackson is typically boom-or-bust and he should be started […]

Mike Evans Looks to Bounce Back Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans will likely see plenty of Josh Norman this Sunday. Tampa is hosting Washington this weekend and they are both in desperate need of a win. Evans is coming off of one of his worst games ever last weekend against Carolina and this Sunday will not be easy to make up […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick's Ceiling Lower in Week 10

Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has been money (fantasy-wise) when he's played this season. The veteran QB has utilized the deep-ball extremely well in targeting his talented receivers in high-scoring affairs throughout the year. Unfortunately, this week against the Redskins, he might not be as potent. The Redskins defense is not one of the best, however, […]

DeSean Jackson and Chris Godwin Disappoint on Sunday

The Buccaneers' co-WR2s DeSean Jackson and Chris Godwin failed to do much against a mediocre Carolina pass defense. Jackson caught two passes for 32 yards and Godwin caught two for 40. The tandem was outshined by slot receiver Adam Humphries who took two catches to the house and received more targets than Godwin and Jackson […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Eats Up Garbage Time on Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick set himself up nicely before halftime to lead fantasy teams everywhere to commanding leads. The journeyman QB found himself down by 28 points in the first half and knew it was his time to shine. Fitzmagic was all the way up as he went on to toss four touchdowns […]

Adam Humphries Scores Twice in Carolina

Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries found his way to the end zone twice on Sunday. Humphries was targeted eight times and hauled in every single pass for 82 yards and two scores. He was an unwelcome surprise to every fantasy owners who had a piece of the other Tampa pass-catchers. Humphries is the lowest owned […]

Mike Evans Busts Against Carolina

Condolences to anyone who started Buccaneers wideout Mike Evans this week. Week 9 was his worst week of the season and it was not pretty. Evans caught one pass for 16 yards against a Carolina defense that isn't strong against the pass. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was slinging it in the second half trying to lead […]

Buccaneers Defense Will be Ravaged by Panthers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense/special teams shouldn't ever be in consideration as a fantasy start. This rings especially true against the Panthers this week. Carolina's ability to gash defenses with their short passing game will be fully utilized against them. Fully expect Christian McCaffrey and Cam Newton to have a field day. D.J. Moore and […]

DeSean Jackson a WR2 Against Carolina

Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson is in play as a WR2 this Sunday against the Panthers. Jackson has a special connection with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and they will look to exploit a weak Carolina secondary. Jackson's ability as a deep threat is fully utilized by Fitzpatrick who has thrown every touchdown to him this season. […]

O.J. Howard Becoming an Every-Week TE1

Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard is basically a must-start tight end if you own him. It's getting to the point where he might even be a flex option. Howard has thrived in his role as the Buccaneers TE1, essentially usurping Cameron Brate. This week's matchup against Carolina is extremely favorable as the Panthers have given […]

Mike Evans a Top-Five WR Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans may be the top scorer at his position this Sunday against Carolina. The Panthers are fairly weak against the pass and do not have anyone talented enough to stop Evans. It's possible that he's double-teamed but that would be foolish given the dearth of pass-catching talent in Tampa. The Bucs […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Set for Shootout Sunday

Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is in for a tough battle against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The Carolina offense has been rolling since Norv Turner took over and it will be an uphill battle for Tampa to win. This is good news for anyone who has to start Fitzpatrick this weekend given that he is […]

Mitch Trubisky (QB, CHI) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky (fantasy-wise) has been stellar the past four weeks - and with the weapons currently available to him, there's no reason to believe that he can't keep putting up at solid performances. His biggest limitation is himself, but as long as […]

Peyton Barber Runs Well Sunday

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber had his second good game of the season Sunday against Cincinnati. Barber ran for 85 yards on 19 carries and managed to punch one in for a score. This comes after Barber had been limited in practice due to an ankle injury during the week which some thought might affect […]

Jameis Winston Stumbles, Ryan Fitzpatrick Shines

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston was benched Sunday after throwing his fourth interception of the game. Coach Dirk Koetter opted for veteran QB Ryan Fitzpatrick to take over under center and he was as effective as he could be in limited playing time. Fitzpatrick led the Bucs to three scoring drives in four attempts and got […]

DeSean Jackson Shows Out for Potential Suitors Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson has been mentioned in the news recently due to a reported trade request. Sunday's game against Cincinnati helped boost his value after he caught his first deep touchdown since Week 2. He finished the day off with three catches on eight targets for 68 yards an a TD. Similarly to […]

Mike Evans Scores for First Time in October

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans had only reached the end zone this season while quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has thrown to him. Evans caught a 72-yard bomb from Fitzpatrick in the second half of Sunday's game after Jameis Winston's benching. Evans had a decent day with Winston up until Fitzpatrick showed up but he just went […]

Buccaneers Defense Riddled With Injuries Up Front

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be missing star defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and free-agent signee Vinny Curry this coming Sunday against the Bengals. The pair was out last week against Kansas City as well and that front seven was gashed by Kareem Hunt. This situation puts Joe Mixon squarely in play as a high-end RB1 […]

Peyton Barber Has Opportunity Against Bengals

The Bengals' defense has not been good this season and they are now missing their top two linebackers Sunday against the Buccaneers. Running back Peyton Barber is officially listed as healthy after dealing with an ankle injury throughout the week, as a result, he should continue to carry the bulk of the backfield work. Barber […]
