Buccaneers Defense A Strong Start In Week 4

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense draws a favorable matchup against Mac Jones and the Patriots in Week 4. Tampa Bay took advantage of an exploitable Week 2 matchup against the Falcons, scoring two defensive touchdowns while racking up three interceptions. Facing the rookie Jones, who is coming off of a three-interception game of his own, […]

Ryan Succop Should Have Solid Floor

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop should have a decent floor in a Week 4 contest against the Patriots. Succop has made at least three extra points in every game this season while making two of three field goals so far. The veteran kicker has benefited from kicking in one of the league's best offenses […]

Rob Gronkowski A Solid TE1 If He Suits Up

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) has an uncertain status for a Week 4 tilt against his former team, the Patriots. Gronkowski has been unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday, but even a limited session would put him on track to play in Sunday night's game. If the big tight end suits up, […]

Antonio Brown An Upside Flex Against Patriots

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown was activated off the COVID-19 list and will suit up for a Week 4 matchup with the Patriots. Fantasy managers have seen both sides from Brown in two games this year, as he boomed for 121 yards and a touchdown in Week 1, then busted for three catches […]

Chris Godwin A High-Floor Option In Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has been a steady pass-catcher for Tom Brady heading into a Week 4 matchup with New England. Godwin ranks first on the team in catches, 19, tied for first in targets, 25, and ranks second with 205 receiving yards. The star wideout has been a steady producer, exceeding […]

Mike Evans In The WR2 Conversation Against New England

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans gets a bit of a tough matchup against the Patriots in Week 4. Evans has bounced back since his poor Week 1 effort, as he has totaled 13 receptions on 19 targets for 181 yards and two scores over the last two weeks. New England's defense has allowed […]

Ronald Jones II Can't Be Trusted In Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II will be hard to trust for fantasy purposes in Week 4 against the Patriots. Jones' stock was seemingly on the rise after he played a season-high 41 percent of the snaps and saw seven touches against Atlanta, though those numbers declined to 16 percent and five touches […]

Leonard Fournette In The Flex Conversation In Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette draws a favorable matchup in Week 4 against the Patriots. Aside from the Week 3 anomaly, Fournette has been the team's lead back, playing an average of 50 percent of the snaps while exceeding 14 touches in two of three games. The former fourth overall pick will face […]

Tom Brady A Strong QB1 For Must-See Matchup Against Patriots

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will take on his former team, the Patriots, in Week 4. Brady, who is playing excellent football, will be motivated to take on the only team he knew for the first 20 years of his career. The star signal-caller ranks first in touchdowns, 10, and second in passing yards, […]

Rob Gronkowski, Giovani Bernard Remain Sidelined

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) and running back Giovani Bernard (knee) remained out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. X-rays on Gronkowski's ribs came back negative, but two missed practices have his status up in the air for Sunday night in his return to New England to face the […]

Antonio Brown Activated Off COVID-19 List

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown was activated off the COVID-19 list Thursday. Brown will suit up for a Week 4 primetime game against the Patriots. The star receiver landed on the COVID-19 list on September 22 and missed the team's Week 3 loss to the Rams, though he'll be a welcome presence for […]

Antonio Brown Will Return Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Antonio Brown will come off the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. "He'll be back tomorrow no matter what. His 10 days are up so he'll be back tomorrow," Arians said. Brown missed the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams after he landed on […]

Scotty Miller Lands On Injured Reserve

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed wide receiver Scotty Miller (toe) on Injured Reserve with a severe turf-toe injury on Wednesday. Miller will be out for at least three weeks and possibly longer. The 24-year-old saw the field more in the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams with Antonio Brown on the COVID-19 list, […]

Antonio Brown Remains On COVID-19 List

Tampa Bay Bucs wide receiver Antonio Brown was not activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list before practice on Wednesday. Obviously, COVID-related medical information is kept relatively private, so it's hard to say if Brown is experiencing any symptoms or anything that would impede him from playing. It's likely the veteran would need little practice time to […]

Rob Gronkowski Misses Practice With Injury

Tampa Bay Bucs tight end Rob Gronkowski missed the open portion of practice on Wednesday while recovering from a rib injury suffered during Sunday's loss. The veteran won't need much practice time to get ready for Sunday night's game, and you can absolutely count on the fact that he will do everything in his power […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

We had a clear frontrunner for top waiver priority and FAB burner this week before Sunday even began.
