Week 13 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Week 13 was pretty random as far as quarterbacks went, with Derek Carr, Baker Mayfield, Ryan Tannehill, Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff finishing in the top-six. Patrick Mahomes only scored 19.32 fantasy points but his day could have been much bigger had Tyreek Hill's touchdown been properly called by the officials and counted. Darren Waller […]

Week 12 saw some crazy high defensive point totals with Atlanta, Carolina, San Francisco, and Houston all scoring over 15 points.

Lions Ready to Roar Back Without Matt Patricia

The Detroit Lions’ experimental attempt to become the NFC’s version of the New England Patriots is officially over before it ever really started. Well, to be fair, it did technically start. After the Lions hired Bob Quinn as the team’s general manager in January 2016, he began stockpiling former Patriots - mostly defensive players who […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 13

Week 13 is the unluckiest week of the fantasy football season --- for those managers and teams who lose and do not end up making their league’s playoffs. Even this late into the season, two teams are going to be on bye (Tampa Bay and Carolina), so fantasy managers will have to find a replacement […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 13

Thanks to a rash of COVID positives and close contacts, Week 12 was interesting from a fantasy perspective. There were some fantastic performances this Week.

Week 12 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Week 12 was a little frustrating for quarterbacks with Josh Allen, Justin Herbert and Kyler Murray all finishing outside the top-10. Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes finished as the top-two quarterbacks on the week, while the main surprise was Mitch Trubisky who relied on garbage-time production to finish as QB-6. Robert Tonyan returned to relevance […]

Rob Gronkowski Records Season-High 106 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski hauled in six of seven targets for a season-high 106 yards against the Chiefs. He looked like vintage Gronkowski out there, as he and Tom Brady connected on a few big plays down the field, including a 48-yard, catch-and-run play. There probably won't be many weeks where the […]

Antonio Brown Quiet In Week 12 Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown had a quiet game in a Week 12 loss against Kansas City. Brown caught two of three targets for 11 receiving yards, as he took a backseat to fellow wideouts, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. The former All-Pro receiver was involved in the game plan up to this […]

Chris Godwin Leads Team In Receptions

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin caught a team-high eight of nine targets for 97 receiving yards in a loss to the Chiefs. Aside from a big, 44-yard catch, Godwin continued to operate as Tom Brady's safety blanket over the middle of the field. Godwin's shorter routes out of the slot seem suited to […]

Mike Evans Catches Two Touchdowns In Losing Effort

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans hauled in three of nine targets for 50 yards and two scores in a loss to Kansas City. Evans was having a relatively quiet day- and then the fourth quarter happened, where he caught a beautiful, 31-yard deep ball from Tom Brady for his first score. He grabbed […]

Leonard Fournette Fails To Make An Impact In Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette failed to do much in a 27-24 loss to the Chiefs. Fournette saw just six touches but mustered only 20 scrimmage yards, as he took a backseat to Ronald Jones II. This is starting to become a trend for Fournette, who has seen playing time but has been […]

Ronald Jones II Posts 103 Scrimmage Yards And A Score

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II carried the ball nine times for 66 rushing yards and caught one pass for 37 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Tom Brady Throws For 384 Yards and Three Touchdowns

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady completed 27 of 41 passes for 384 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions in a 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.
