Mike Evans More of a WR2 Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has had some trouble lately.

Evans is still a must-start every week given his ceiling but we have to be aware of his lower floor... Read More

Ryan Fitzpatrick in Play as a QB1 Against Giants

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... Read More

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... Read More

Mike Evans Looks to Bounce Back Sunday

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... Read More

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,... Read More

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.

Ryan Fitzpatrick Eats Up Garbage Time on Sunday

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.

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... Read More

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... Read More

DeSean Jackson a WR2 Against Carolina

Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson is in play as a WR2 this Sunday against the Panthers.

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... Read More

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... Read More

Ryan Fitzpatrick Set for Shootout Sunday

Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is in for a tough battle against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

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.

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...
