Rob Gronkowski Needs To Score To Return Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski will face off with the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. Gronkowski played 54 snaps to O.J. Howard's 37, though he caught just two of three targets for 11 yards in Week 1. Tom Brady actually looked Howard's way more frequently, so Gronkowski probably needs to score a touchdown […]

Scotty Miller In Line For Bigger Role

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller could be in line for increased usage on Sunday if fellow wideout Chris Godwin (head) is unable to play. Miller saw six targets from Brady in Week 1, hauling in five of them for 73 yards. The 23-year-old would operate as Tampa Bay's second wideout if Godwin is […]

Chris Godwin Misses Another Practice; Looking Questionable

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (head) wasn't able to practice for the second consecutive day and remains in the concussion protocol. Godwin hasn't been ruled out yet for Sunday's game against the Panthers, but he is looking very questionable at this point. If Godwin does suit up, he'll be more of a WR2, […]

Mike Evans Could Feast Against Panthers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) could be looking at a massive target share in Week 2 against the Panthers. Evans practiced in limited fashion on both Wednesday and Thursday, though he said he feels that the hamstring issue is behind him. With Chris Godwin (head) looking iffy to play, Evans will be […]

Leonard Fournette Hard To Trust For Now

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette has a great matchup ahead of him in Week 2 against the Panthers. Still, Fournette played just nine snaps and carried the ball five times for five yards in his Buccaneers debut. Game script may have limited his opportunities, though it's likely that he hasn't completely acclimated himself […]

Ronald Jones II Poised For Strong Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II gets an ideal Week 2 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Jones II played 33 snaps to Leonard Fournette's nine in Week 1, picking up 82 scrimmage yards against a Saints Defense that's tough on opposing halfbacks. Operating as the lead runner while Fournette continues to learn the […]

Tom Brady Should Bounce Back Against Carolina

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady gets a good matchup in Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. The results weren't pretty in his first appearance as a Buc, as the 43-year-old tossed two interceptions and struggled with accuracy throughout the contest. Fortunately, the Panthers are an easier defense to dissect than the Saints' unit and […]

Panthers Defense An Unappealing Option

The Carolina Panthers Defense gets a tough matchup against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2. Brady was sacked three times and threw two interceptions in Week 1, one of which was returned for a touchdown. Generally, the future Hall of Famer is strong coming off of a loss and he should […]

Joey Slye A Low-End Option

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye gets a tougher matchup in Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Carolina put up 30 points against Oakland, granting Slye the opportunity to nail three field-goals and one extra-point. Scoring chances could be more limited against an underrated Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive unit that largely stifled the Saints offense […]

Ian Thomas Best Left On The Bench

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas gets a good matchup in Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay struggled against tight ends in 2019 and allowed five catches for 80 yards to Saints tight end Jared Cook in Week 1. Unfortunately for Thomas, he only saw two targets against a beatable Raiders defense […]

Curtis Samuel Needs To Prove Himself

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel saw a hefty amount of targets in Week 1 against the Raiders but didn't produce as fantasy managers would have hoped. Samuel saw eight targets, tying with Robby Anderson for second on the team, and also saw a rushing attempt. It's encouraging that Carolina is utilizing him as both […]

Robby Anderson A Risky Flex Option

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson will face off with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2 after he enjoyed a huge start to his season. Anderson hauled in six of eight targets for 114 yards, including a long, 75-yard score. The matchup against the Buccaneers' secondary has potential, as they allowed the most pass […]

D.J. Moore Could Bounce Back In Week 2

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore could have a bounce-back performance in Week 2 against Tampa Bay. Moore was disappointing in Week 1, catching just four passes for 54 receiving yards, though he was targeted nine times. Moore will be just fine as a high-end WR2 most weeks if he continues to see that kind […]

Christian McCaffrey An RB1 Despite Tough Test Ahead

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey will be in every fantasy manager's lineup when he takes the field for a Week 2 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In all likelihood, McCaffrey will put up his normal, week-winning numbers. Still, this Tampa Bay run defense is one to fear. They ranked first in the league […]

Teddy Bridgewater A Low-End QB2 Against Buccaneers

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater draws a tough matchup in Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' improved defense. Tampa Bay's pass rush made Hall of Famer Drew Brees look very ordinary in Week 1 and could do the same to Bridgewater, especially considering his offensive line isn't as good as Brees'. The 27-year-old threw […]

Mike Evans Limited On Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Head coach Bruce Arians said that Evans "ran really well" and had a great practice. The 27-year-old was able to play in Week 1, though he only registered one catch. Fortunately for his fantasy managers, Evans will see a lot […]

Chris Godwin In Concussion Protocol

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (head) was not spotted at Wednesday's practice and is in the concussion protocol. Godwin took a helmet-to-helmet hit from Saints safety D.J. Swearinger late in the fourth quarter of the team's Week 1 loss but didn't feel symptoms until Wednesday. Head coach Bruce Arians said that they will […]

Saints Defense Puts Up Strong Performance

The New Orleans Saints Defense had a great performance in their Week 1 win over the Buccaneers. They intercepted Tom Brady twice, one of which was returned for a touchdown by cornerback Janoris Jenkins. They sacked Brady three times and they recovered a fumble to round out the strong showing. It was a great start […]

Wil Lutz Perfect On All Six Kicks

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made both of his field-goal attempts and all four extra points in a 34-23 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1. Lutz enjoyed a solid day as New Orleans recorded six trips into the red zone. The veteran kicker should be able to put up many more […]

Jared Cook Paces Team In Receiving Yards

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook had a strong game for his team in a 34-23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Cook was a bright spot in an otherwise sloppy day for the offense, as he caught five of seven targets for a game-high 80 receiving yards, including a big 46-yard reception. The […]

Tre'Quan Smith Disappoints In Week 1

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith had a very quiet Week 1 game in a 34-23 win over the Buccaneers. Smith caught his lone target for four yards in what was a sloppy offensive game for New Orleans. It seemed to be a series of strange play calls from head coach Sean Payton, who […]

Emmanuel Sanders Saves Face With Touchdown

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders posted just 15 receiving yards on three catches in Week 1. Sanders managed to salvage his day a bit with a late touchdown, though it was not a great performance. All of the Saints pass-catchers not named Alvin Kamara or Jared Cook seemed to struggle in this one, […]

Michael Thomas Puts Up A Dud Against Buccaneers

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas caught three of five targets for 17 receiving yards in a win over Tampa Bay. It was a strange sight seeing Thomas almost fazed out of the game plan, as he went a couple of series without recording a catch. Head coach Sean Payton took some of the […]

Latavius Murray Plods For 48 Rushing Yards

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray had a forgettable game in a Week 1 win over the Buccaneers. Murray carried the ball 15 times but picked up just 48 rushing yards, as Tampa Bay's strong front picked up where they left off last year. Fortunately, the 30-year-old retained his role in the offense from […]

Alvin Kamara Finds The End Zone Twice In Week 1

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara scored two touchdowns- and nearly had a third- en route to a 34-23 victory over the Buccaneers. His potential third score was overturned. It was a rough day for Kamara on the ground against Tampa Bay's strong front, as he picked up just 16 yards on 12 carries, […]

Drew Brees Tosses Two Touchdowns In Win

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees threw two touchdown passes in a Week 1 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, though it was by no means a good performance for the 41-year-old. He only threw for 160 yards and averaged a measly 5.3 yards per attempt, as he struggled to get the ball downfield throughout […]

Falcons Defense Picked Apart In Week 1

The Atlanta Falcons Defense was shredded by Russell Wilson and the Seahawks in Week 1. The team allowed 322 passing yards and four scores to Wilson, as they simply had no answer for him or Seattle's pass catchers. Atlanta did register three sacks- 1.5 for Grady Jarrett- and a fumble, but it was a performance […]

Younghoe Koo Nails Two Field-Goals Against Seattle

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo made both his field-goal attempts and one extra point in a 38-25 Week 1 loss to Seattle. Koo impressively made a pair of 49-yard kicks, showing both the strength and accuracy of his leg. While the missed extra point isn't ideal, it's not enough to damper Koo's good start to […]

Hayden Hurst Underwhelms In Falcons Debut

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst had an underwhelming debut in Week 1 against the Seahawks. Hurst saw five targets and caught three of them, but only managed 38 receiving yards. The 27-year-old showed off his athletic ability with a diving, 27-yard reception, though he was mostly held in check by safety Jamal Adams and […]

Russell Gage Records Career-High 114 Receiving Yards

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage had a career day against Seattle, catching nine passes for a career-high 114 yards in a losing effort. Gage took a hard hit from safety Jamal Adams and was in the concussion protocol, but was cleared to return to the game. The 24-year-old amazingly saw the same number of […]
