Ronald Jones II Rushes For 78 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II finished with 12 carries for 78 yards and a score in Sunday's victory over the Falcons. After returning from a two-game absence due to being put on the COVID list and dealing with a finger injury, Jones proved why he is the lead RB1 on this team […]

Tom Brady Throws For 399 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady went 26-for-41 for 399 yards, four touchdowns, and a pick in Sunday's win over the Falcons. Brady closed the season by throwing for at least 348 yards in the last three games and had seven total games with over 300 yards. Even at age 43, the QB looked sharp […]

Ryan Succop A Starting Option In Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop is a starting option for Week 17 against the Falcons. Succop has gone 25-for-28 in field goals and 47-for-52 in extra points this season and has overall been reliable for this team. The Falcons are middle-tier against fantasy kickers, so Succop is a great start in the season finale.

Buccaneers Defense A Low-End Starting Option

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense is a low-end starting option this week against a Falcons squad that features a capable offense. Two weeks ago against Atlanta, the Bucs' defense had three sacks and four QB hits. Last week, this unit had four sacks, 11 QB hits, and a pick. Overall, the unit has performed well […]

Rob Gronkowski A TE1 In Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski is a TE1 this week against Atlanta. Gronk has been rather inconsistent the past four games but does have seven targets, at least 58 yards, and a score in two of those four games. The TE has been hot and cold all season but the fact that the […]

Antonio Brown A WR3 In Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown is a WR3 for Week 17. Brown has seen at least six targets in the past two games and has two touchdowns as well in that span. The WR has carved out a decent role for himself on an offense full of playmakers. The Falcons allow the third-most […]

Chris Godwin A Low-End WR1 Versus Falcons

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Chris Godwin is a low-end WR1 for Week 17. Godwin has been streaky the past four games he has played, but he has gotten at least nine targets and 84 yards in two of those four games. The Falcons allow the third-most fantasy points to wideouts, so Godwin is a great […]

Mike Evans A WR1 Against Falcons

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is a WR1 for the season finale against Atlanta. The WR has at least six receptions, seven targets, and 110 yards in the past two contests and will look to close out the season strong. He is coming off a 181-yard performance last week. The Falcons allow the […]

Leonard Fournette A Flex Play In Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette is a flex play in Week 17. Ronald Jones II is expected to return after being on the COVID list and dealing with a finger injury, so Fournette will likely see his role decrease in the season finale. The back has at least nine carries and 34 rushing […]

Ronald Jones II An RB2 For Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II is an RB2 for Week 17 against the Falcons. The RB has missed the past couple of games due to being on the COVID list and dealing with a finger injury. In his last game in Week 14, Jones had 18 carries for 80 yards and a […]

Tom Brady A QB1 For Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is a solid QB1 this week against Atlanta. Brady has been on fire the past two weeks and has thrown for at least 348 yards in both contests. Just two weeks ago, the QB had 390 yards and two touchdowns against the Falcons. Atlanta allows the most fantasy points […]

Joey Slye A Low-End Starter

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye is a low-end start this week against the Saints. Slye has gone 29-for-36 in field goals this season along with 32-for-35 in extra points, and it's evident the kicker has shown some instances of struggle in the 2020 campaign. The Saints are middle-tier against fantasy kickers, so Slye is a […]

Panthers Defense Should Be Left On Bench

The Carolina Panthers Defense is not a strong starting option this week against the Saints. New Orleans trounced the Vikings last week with a 52-point performance and this offense is still quite potent with Alvin Kamara and Drew Brees running the show. Meanwhile, the Panthers have allowed at least 24 points in three of the […]

Ian Thomas Not A Great Start

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas is not a viable fantasy starter in Week 17. Thomas has had at least four targets and 20 yards in the past two games, but the TE's role this year has been very small overall and his recent production isn't strong enough for fantasy. As a result, Thomas should […]

Curtis Samuel A Low-End WR2

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel is a low-end WR2 for Week 17. The WR had 106 yards receiving and seven carries for 52 yards last week. Overall, Samuel has seen at least five targets in the past five games along with at least 68 receiving yards in four of the past five games. With […]

D.J. Moore A Solid WR2 In Week 17

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is a great WR2 for Week 17 against the Saints. Moore has seen at least seven targets in the past five games and has gotten at least 96 yards in three of the past five games. The Saints are middle-tier against fantasy WRs, so Moore is a fine start […]

Robby Anderson A WR2 Against Saints

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson is a WR2 versus the Saints in Week 17. The WR has seen at least seven targets in four of the past five games though the yardage total hasn't always been consistent. He does have at least 84 yards in two of the past four games. The WR's role […]

Rodney Smith Not A Fantasy Worthy Option

Carolina Panthers running back Rodney Smith is not a starting-caliber option this week. With Mike Davis unlikely to play due to an ankle injury and Christian McCaffrey also unlikely to suit up due to a thigh injury, the Panthers may have to lean on Smith and Trenton Cannon to lead the backfield. Smith had seven […]

Teddy Bridgewater Not A Starting Option

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is not a starting option this week against the Saints. The QB has only thrown for one touchdown and one pick total in the past three games and only posted 197 yards last week. The Saints are quite stingy against fantasy quarterbacks, so Bridgewater is not a starting option in […]

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst hauled in five receptions for 47 yards and a score on five targets in the Week 16 loss to the Chiefs. After a three-game stretch with less than 25 yards each week, Hurst had a solid performance this week. Overall, the TE has been inconsistent this season, making it […]

Russell Gage Manages 23 Yards

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage finished with four receptions for 23 yards on five targets in the Week 16 loss to the Chiefs. Gage has seen at least five targets in the last five games, but his yard total in Week 16 was the lowest since Week 12. Nevertheless, the WR's target share has […]

Calvin Ridley Has Fourth-Straight 100 Yard Game

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley recorded five receptions for 130 yards on nine targets in Week 16. The WR now has at least nine targets and 108 yards in the last four games and the absence of Julio Jones has led to some monster production for him. Given his stellar recent production, Ridley is […]

Todd Gurley II Musters 16 Yards

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II finished with four carries for 16 yards and three receptions for 34 yards on three targets in the loss to Kansas City. Gurley hasn't been all that effective recently and his demotion to team RB2 doesn't help his case. The back has had single-digit carries and less than […]

Ito Smith Rushes For 46 Yards

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith finished with 10 carries for 46 yards and one reception for five yards on one target in Week 16. Despite being the RB1 on the team, Smith wasn't all that explosive in this game. Overall, the back hasn't rushed for more than 46 yards in the past four games. […]

Matt Ryan Tosses For 300 Yards

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan finished 27-for-35 for 300 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to the Chiefs in Week 16. The QB has tossed for at least 300 yards in the past two games now and will face a Bucs squad that allows the 12th-most points to fantasy QBs in the season finale […]

Younghoe Koo A Starting Option Against Chiefs

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is a solid starting option this week against Kansas City. Koo has gone 35-for-36 in field goals this season along with 28-for-31 in extra points. Overall, he has been very reliable this season. The Chiefs are stingy against fantasy kickers, but Koo has proven he is a reliable option, so […]

Falcons Defense Should Stay Benched In Week 16

The Atlanta Falcons Defense should stay well off the fantasy radar in Week 16 as they travel to face the Chiefs' high-powered offense. The Falcons have allowed at least 20 points in all but two games this season. Meanwhile, the Chiefs have one of the most talented and explosive offenses in the NFL and have […]

Hayden Hurst A Low-End TE2

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst is not a strong start this week against Kansas City. The TE has recorded less than 25 yards in four of the past five games and has put up the most underwhelming stretch of production this season in these past few games. The Chiefs do allow the 12th-most points […]
