Jalen Hurts - Franchise QB or Flash in the Pan?

When the Philadelphia Eagles drafted Jalen Hurts in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft, many people were surprised. After all, they already had their franchise quarterback in Carson Wentz. Fast forward to Week 16, and the move looks incredibly smart. Wentz struggled all season and when the Eagles finally made the switch during their […]

Rob Gronkowski Finishes With 29 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski ended Week 17 with two receptions for 29 yards on four targets. The TE was overall very inconsistent this season and only showed flashes of the dominance from his New England tenure. The 31-year-old only had one 100-yard performance this season and only recorded over 50 yards in […]

Antonio Brown Gets Season-High 138 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown recorded 11 receptions for 138 yards and two scores on 14 targets in Week 17, which were all season-highs. The WR was phenomenal in the season finale and his rapport with Tom Brady has been evident throughout his short Tampa career thus far. Even though the WR had […]

Chris Godwin Gets Season-High 133 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin finished with five receptions for 133 yards and two scores on seven targets in Week 17. Godwin finished with his best total of 2020 after dealing with injuries throughout the campaign. After a breakout season in 2019 with 1,333 yards, the WR came back down to earth this […]

Mike Evans Finishes With 46 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans finished with three receptions for 46 yards on four targets in Week 17. The WR sustained a knee injury very late in the first quarter and ultimately could not finish the game. Evans has eclipsed 1,000 yards in each of his seven NFL seasons and has remained a […]

Leonard Fournette Manages 13 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette finished with five carries for 13 yards and two receptions for 14 yards on two targets in the season finale. With Ronald Jones II returning, Fournette's role predictably downsized this week. It's clear that Jones was the lead back in Tampa and Fournette was nothing more than a […]

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 […]

Mike Evans Injury Not Expected To Be Serious

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (knee) suffered a knee injury in the first quarter of this week's game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Mike Evans Ruled Out In Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Evans was hurt in the first quarter, hyperextending his knee while attempting to catch a touchdown pass. We'll have to monitor the situation closely to see if Evans is able to return for […]

Bucs Looking At Mike Evans' Knee

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans left the field after a dropped touchdown in Week 17 with an apparent knee injury and is being looked at by trainers. Evans is a key cog for the Tampa Bay offense, so it will be important to watch to see if Evans is able to return. If […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 17

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 […]
