Scotty Miller Hopes To Return This Weekend

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller (toe) is hoping to return from Injured Reserve to contribute in Week 10 against the Washington Football Team, but he will wait to see how this week goes and what the coaches and trainers decide. Miller said Wednesday's practice went well, but we'll have to wait and see […]

Buccaneers Have No Interest In Odell Beckham Jr.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said the team doesn't have a need for free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. "No. Too many letters – I've already got A.B. (Antonio Brown), I don't need OBJ," Arians said jokingly. While the Bucs are stacked at the receiver spot when healthy, Brown continues to deal with […]

Chris Godwin Dealing With Foot Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (foot) is dealing with a foot injury and his status for Week 10 against the Washington Football Team is uncertain, according to head coach Bruce Arians. With Antonio Brown (ankle) not looking likely to return this Sunday either, the Bucs could be severely short-handed this weekend, especially if […]

Rob Gronkowski Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) didn't practice on Wednesday but was jogging lightly with trainers monitoring him. Gronkowski has a better shot at returning in Week 10 against the Washington Football Team than wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle), but head coach Bruce Arians expressed doubt on Tuesday that Gronk would be ready […]

Antonio Brown Not Practicing On Wednesday

Tampa Bay Bucs wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) was in sweats at practice on Wednesday as he tries to come back from his ankle injury. An earlier video of the wide receiver during his rehab work showed that he still had instability and swelling on his injured ankle, which would suggest that him playing this […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed free-agent tight end Darren Fells to their practice squad on Wednesday.

The 35-year-old was targeted just five times in seven games for the Lions, catching four passes for 43 yards. Buccaneers tight […]

Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Real or Mirage?

Week 9 was one of the wildest weeks we've had for fantasy football in quite some time. Matt Ryan came off a very disappointing performance in Week 8, only to crush the stingy Saints defense to finish as QB-3, while Carson Wentz and Josh Johnson finished as top-five options in a Thursday night game that […]

NextGen Stats - Quarterback Breakdowns and Takeaways

Rob Gronkowski, Antonio Brown In Doubt For Week 10

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians expressed doubt as to whether tight end Rob Gronkowski (back) and wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) would be able to play in Week 10 against the Washington Football Team. "I think we still have to worry a little bit about Gronk and I don't know if A.B. (Brown) […]

Week 10 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 9... what an absolute cluster. The Buffalo Bills lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars, 9–6. The Broncos went and punched the Cowboys in the mouth and the Cowboys didn't even bother to put up a fight. It was quite the week so it only made sense that after a week of championing Greg Joseph and […]

Antonio Brown Remains In Walking Boot

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) is still in a walking boot. It doesn't sound like Brown made much progress during the team's bye in Week 9. The 33-year-old suffered an ankle sprain in Week 6 and hasn't played since, and fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting him […]

Welcome to Week 9 of the WR/CB Matchup chart. Last week DFS players needed to have A.J. Brown and Michael Pittman Jr. in their lineups to have any shot to win a big tournament.

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 9

As usual, the wide receiver matchup article from last week had some solid recommendations along with a few letdowns. D.J. Moore (WR-45) could not take advantage of a great matchup as Sam Darnold continued to struggle and while Marvin Jones (WR-57) had a great matchup, he let us down once again with just five catches […]

Bold Predictions for Week 9

Bold predictions are always meant to be taken with a grain of salt, but ideally, they are not a bunch of takes thrown like you-know-what at a wall with the hope of sticking.
