Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Brate will undoubtedly be Tampa Bay’s pass-catching tight end while Rob Gronkowski nurses his injured ribs. Need proof? Brate has out-targeted O.J. Howard 11 to 2 the past two games while Gronk has been sidelined. The veteran hasn't done a whole lot with his opportunity, […]

O.J. Howard Off To A Disappointing Start

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard has been a fantasy disappointment through four games played in 2021. The Alabama product has flashed his ability at times throughout his five-year career, most notably in 2020, as he looked to be on-pace for a strong year before rupturing his Achilles tendon. Howard played less than 20 […]

Dalton Schultz (TE, DAL) - Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There is no reason--not a single one, seriously--not to add Dallas Cowboys' tight end, Dalton Schultz, to your roster. I mean, obviously, if you already have one of the stud-TE such as Travis Kelce or Darren Waller you will probably have between zero […]

Josh Gordon: Are We Doing This Again?

Josh Gordon is the fantasy football equivalent of this Grand Theft Auto meme. We know he's unlikely to have an impact on your fantasy season. We know he's unlikely to ever get close to his peak of 2013 again. We know there's a better chance he doesn't finish the season than there is of him being […]

Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Something or Nothing?

Week 4 of the NFL season is now in the books and as expected Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, Aaron Rodgers and Kyler Murray all performed very well finishing as QB1's. Matt Ryan shredded Washington's struggling defense and in the same game, Taylor Heinicke threw three touchdowns to finish as QB-5 on the week. […]

MNF NFL DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Raiders vs Chargers Showdown

Happy Monday RotoBallers! I hope your Week Four has been profitable so far. I had a solid day myself yesterday but didn't have the best Sunday Night Football slate, so I'm looking to get that back tonight. We have an interesting AFC West Showdown tonight between the Chargers and Raiders, and I expect this to […]

C.J. Uzomah (TE, CIN) - Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Chasing tight ends has become a weekly national tradition. Those of us who have been playing fantasy football for long already know the drill: either you draft Tony Gonzalez/Antonio Gates/Rob Gronkowski/Jimmy Graham/Travis Kelce/George Kittle/Darren Waller or you're inevitably going to be digging […]

Ryan Succop Nails Five Kicks Sunday Night

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop made 4 of 5 field goals and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's victory over the Patriots. Succop was busy on a night where the Patriots defense kept Tom Brady out of the end zone, as he made kicks from the 20-29 yard range and the 40-49 yard range, […]

Cameron Brate Catches Just Two Passes

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate hauled in two receptions for 29 yards in a 19-17 win over the Patriots. Brate was essentially the team's starter with Rob Gronkowski (ribs) sidelined, though the increase in playing time didn't lead to a lucrative fantasy line. Still, Brate has shown a rapport with Tom Brady in […]

Antonio Brown Sees Season-High 11 Targets

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown caught 7 of 11 targets for 63 yards in Sunday's victory over New England. Brown was Tom Brady's second-favorite target, as the veteran signal-caller looked to the receiver often, particularly in the shorter routes. Brown's fantasy line would have looked better had he caught a well-placed ball from […]

Chris Godwin Posts 55 Receiving Yards In Victory

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin tallied three receptions for 55 receiving yards in a 19-17 win over the Patriots. Godwin was uncharacteristically quiet to start the game, as he didn't catch his first pass until the second quarter with five minutes and 45 seconds on the clock. Still, he managed to exceed 50 […]

Mike Evans Exceeds 75 Receiving Yards For Third Straight Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans caught seven of a team-high 12 targets for 75 yards in Sunday's win over the Patriots. Evans was on the receiving end of history, as he hauled in a 28-yard reception, which made Tom Brady the NFL's all-time leader in passing yards. The big-bodied wideout then proceeded to […]

Ronald Jones II Scores First Touchdown Of Season

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II carried the ball six times for 25 rushing yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Patriots. Jones was the clear backup to Leonard Fournette in this game, as he saw just six touches to the former's 23. Jones somewhat salvaged his fantasy value with an […]

Leonard Fournette Totals Season-High 138 Scrimmage Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette carried the ball 20 times for 91 rushing yards, adding three receptions for 47 receiving yards in Sunday's win over New England. Fournette dominated the backfield touches, tallying 23 to Ronald Jones II's six- though it was Jones who found the end zone. Still, the 26-year-old Fournette has […]

Tom Brady Held Scoreless In Win Over Patriots

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady completed 22 of 43 passing attempts for 269 yards in a 19-17 win over the Patriots. Brady didn't exactly fill up the box score in his return to Foxborough, though he did make history, surpassing Drew Brees on the NFL's all-time passing yards list with a 28-yard completion to […]

Antoine Winfield Jr. Suffers Head Injury Sunday Night

Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr. was being evaluated for a concussion late in the fourth quarter of the Sunday night game against the New England Patriots. He had an interception and a forced fumble before the injury. The Bucs secondary lost cornerback Carlton Davis (quadriceps) in the first half when he was carted […]

Carlton Davis Ruled Out With Quad Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis (quadriceps) was ruled out for the rest of the second half of the Sunday night game against the New England Patriots after he was carted off the field. Davis came into the game dealing with injuries to his abdomen and ribs, but it was a quad injury that forced […]

Richard Sherman Expected To Start Sunday Night

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Richard Sherman will start Sunday night against the Patriots. The Buccaneers signed Sherman as a veteran presence in their injury-riddled defensive backfield- and the veteran will get into game action sooner than anyone thought. The 2019 Pro Bowler should aid a Tampa Bay secondary that has allowed the second-most passing yards […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 4

Through the first three weeks of the season, the league's top cornerbacks, like Jalen Ramsey, Jaire Alexander and Trevon Diggs, have held receivers in check for the most part. On the other end of things, cornerbacks like Eli Apple, Benjamin St-Juste and Vernon Hargreaves have emerged as guys opposing quarterbacks will likely target on a […]

Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups: Week 4

The post-waiver pickups have probably not been as prevalent during the first three weeks of the NFL season in fantasy football leagues. I feel like the 2021 season has been light on “questionable” injury tags and last-minute Sunday morning scratches. Just because things have been easier than usual on fantasy football general managers early on […]

Week 4 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

What a week for the kickers! We saw Justin Tucker make the longest kick in the history of the NFL and for a game-winner, no less. 66 yards off the crossbar, just insane. If that wasn't enough, Mason Crosby gave us another game-winner. This time from 51 yards out. Kickers, truly are the perfect example […]
