Leonard Fournette A Flex Play

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette is in the starting mix this week with Ronald Jones II (finger) ruled out of the contest. Fournette last played in Week 12 where he had three carries for 10 yards and three receptions for 10 yards on three targets. Because Jones is the primary back, Fournette hasn't […]

Redrafting the 2020 Fantasy Football Season

2020. Man, what a year. We had protests, fires, a global pandemic that shut down everything, and freaking murder hornets. By the way, what happened to them? We do still have a few weeks left in the year, so are they to be the grand finale? Not all was doom and gloom, though, and there […]

Fantasy Football Warning Signals For Week 15

We are in the thick of the fantasy playoffs. Every decision from here could be the factor that determines if fantasy gamers will be able to advance further into the playoffs. Knowing the warning signals from the previous week is crucial to all of our roster management decisions. There are only three weeks left of […]

Jason Pierre-Paul Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) wasn't able to practice on Wednesday. Pierre-Paul had surgery on his knee this year, so the Buccaneers have taken it easy on him in practices early in the week. Despite dealing with the knee issue, JPP has been the top-scoring defensive lineman -- just above the Rams' […]

Buccaneers Put Ronald Jones II On COVID-19 List

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed running back Ronald Jones II (finger) on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Jones' status for Week 15 against the Falcons was already in doubt after he underwent surgery on his fractured pinkie finger this week, so this news all but rules him out. Not only is Jones now doubtful to […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 14's Studs Turned Duds

The fantasy football playoffs are when managers need the most luck and yet the stakes are highest. During the regular season, there is time to tinker and adjust rosters to find reliable players. By now, those players need to perform up to their standards else managers risk being bounced. That's where the luck comes in. […]

Ryan Succop Put On Reserve/COVID-19 List

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop, punter Bradley Pinion and long snapper Zach Triner have been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. It's unclear if any of them actually tested positive for COVID-19 or if they were just deemed high-risk close contacts of someone else who did. If they are high-risk contacts, they still […]

Ronald Jones II To Have Surgery On Finger

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (finger) will have surgery to have a pin placed in his injured pinkie finger on Tuesday. It's unclear when the injury occurred, as Jones managed to play a full game in the win over the Vikings, but it's an ailment that caused teammate Chris Godwin to miss […]

FAB Bidding - Week 15 Waiver Wire Targets

Week 14 ended on a dramatic note with Lamar Jackson's WWE-style return to action that surely tilted many fantasy matchups. To those of you still in the hunt for glory, we salute you.

The Cut List (Week 15) - Time to Let Go?

I don't know if there is a more frustrating aspect of fantasy football than the double-bladed sword we refer to as "patience." One of those blades will mockingly wound you in grand fashion after you've given up on a player too early. The other will repeatedly lacerate you over time for believing in a player […]

Ronald Jones II May Have A Fractured Pinkie

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that running back Ronald Jones II (pinkie) might have suffered a fractured pinkie finger in the Week 14 win over the Vikings on Sunday. The team is waiting to see if Jones needs to have a pin inserted. This is surely something to watch heading into Week […]

Buccaneers Defense Posts Strong Effort

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense put up a strong effort in a 26-14 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Tampa Bay got after Kirk Cousins, hitting him 12 times and sacking him six times. Shaquil Barrett led the way for the Buccaneers, with two sacks and two tackles for loss. This seemed like a get-right performance […]

Rob Gronkowski Scores Against Vikings

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski only caught one pass in a Week 14 win over Minnesota, though he made it count. The veteran tight end caught his fifth touchdown of the year from quarterback Tom Brady, a beautiful, leaping grab in the back of the end zone that extended the Tampa Bay lead […]

Antonio Brown Paces Team In Receptions

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown led his team in receptions in a 26-14 victory. Brown hauled in all five of his targets for 49 receiving yards against the Vikings Defense. Since Tampa Bay jumped out to a 17-6 lead at the half, Tom Brady's arm wasn't needed much, which in turn led to […]

Chris Godwin Has Quiet Day In Win Over Vikings

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin had his lowest output of the season in a win over the Vikings. Godwin caught two of three targets for 25 receiving yards, as the passing game largely wasn't needed for much of the contest. This game snapped a three-game streak where Godwin recorded at least six catches […]

Mike Evans Leads Team In Receiving Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans caught three of five targets for 56 receiving yards in a win over Minnesota. Evans did most of his damage on a third-quarter drive, where he hauled in two passes for 36 receiving yards, helping lead to a Buccaneers' touchdown. The Buccaneers weren't going to pass much with […]

Ronald Jones II Totals 84 Scrimmage Yards And A Score

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II carried the ball 18 times for 80 yards and a rushing touchdown in the 26-14 win over the Vikings. Jones added a catch for four receiving yards, as he had the backfield to himself with Leonard Fournette inactive. All things considered, it was a bit of a […]

Tom Brady Throws For Two Scores In Victory

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady completed 15 of 23 passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns in a victory over the Vikings. Brady's arm wasn't needed much in this contest, as Tampa Bay built up a 17-6 halftime lead. Still, the veteran quarterback was effective, averaging a healthy 8.5 yards per attempt, much of […]

Leonard Fournette Inactive For Week 14

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. This was a potentially solid matchup for Fournette, but it now looks like Ronald Jones II will have sole control of this backfield on Sunday, making Jones a high-end RB2 play and someone with a lot of […]

Cameron Brate Expected To Play Week 14

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (illness) is expected to play against the Vikings in Week 14. Brate tied his season-high with six targets in his last game, but he remains a low-floor TE2 fantasy option at best heading into this matchup, though his absence could have open some more targets up for the […]
