The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense takes on the Detroit Lions in Week 16. Detroit has averaged 27.7 points per game since their coaching change, though the offensive line has still been susceptible to pressure.

Ryan Succop An Upside Play In Week 16

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop is in a good spot heading into a Week 16 matchup with the Detroit Lions.

Rob Gronkowski Has Chance For Rebound Effort In Week 16

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski has had a quiet showing in each of his last two games, despite catching a touchdown in Week 14. Still, Gronkowski has remained a key cog in the offense, as he's seen six or more targets in three of his last four contests. Up next is a matchup […]

Brown is coming off a season-best 93 yards and a touchdown against the Falcons, including a go-ahead, 46-yard touchdown. He's had at least five catches and 49 receiving […]

Chris Godwin A Good Play Against Lions

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin gets a great matchup against the Lions in Week 16.

He's been a […]

Leonard Fournette Gets Juicy Matchup In Week 16

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette is likely looking at another week as the lead back for his team against the Lions in Week 16. Fellow back Ronald Jones II (COVID, finger) is looking doubtful for this week, as he is still on the COVID/Reserve list and recovering from finger surgery. That means, Fournette, […]

Tom Brady A Back-End QB1 Against Lions

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady seems to have righted the ship after a few turnover-filled outings before the Week 13 bye. Brady had thrown seven interceptions in four games heading into the bye, though he now has four scores and no turnovers ahead of a Week 16 matchup with the Lions. Detroit's defense has […]

Jared Cook Sees Five Targets

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook caught two of five targets for 29 receiving yards in a Week 15 loss to the Chiefs.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey came in for injured teammate Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) and made the most of his opportunity.

Emmanuel Sanders Totals 76 Receiving Yards Against Chiefs

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders caught four of five targets for 76 receiving yards. Much of his production came on a 51-yard deep ball from Drew Brees, as the wideout was tackled inside the 5-yard line.

Latavius Murray Catches Touchdown

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray rushed the ball four times for three rushing yards and caught two passes for 26 receiving yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Chiefs.

Drew Brees Tosses Three Touchdowns In Return

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 15 of 34 passes for 234 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception in a 32-29 loss to the Chiefs.

Younghoe Koo Makes Five Kicks In Loss

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo made both field goals and all three extra points in a 31-27 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Koo bounced back from a bit of a down performance in his last game.

Hayden Hurst Hauls In Touchdown

Todd Gurley II Has Forgettable Day

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II carried the ball once for negative yardage and caught two passes for 15 receiving yards in a loss to Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers' stingy run defense was in full effect, as the Falcons totaled just 37 rushing yards on 13 attempts as an offense. The veteran back doesn't […]

Matt Ryan Torches Buccaneers For 356 Yards And Three Scores

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed 34 of 49 passes for 356 yards and three touchdowns in a 31-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

Jordan Akins Has Efficient Day In Tough Loss

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins caught five of six targets for 50 yards in a 27-20 loss to the Colts. Akins did drop a pass, though other than that, he was perfect on the day. He showed some big-play ability on a 20-yard reception, then operated as a short-yardage target, considering how much pressure […]

Chad Hansen Catches First Touchdown Of Career

Houston Texans wide receiver Chad Hansen caught two of three targets for 55 receiving yards and a touchdown in a close loss to the Colts.

David Johnson Hauls In 11 Receptions In Loss

Houston Texans running back David Johnson carried the ball eight times for 27 rushing yards and caught all 11 targets for 106 receiving yards in a 27-20 loss to the Colts.
