Chris Godwin A High-End WR2 Against Carolina

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (finger) faces a Panthers Defense that's been stingy against the pass in 2020. Godwin was a full participant in practice, meaning he should be close to 100 percent when he takes the field against Carolina's 17th-ranked pass defense. The veteran wideout has averaged seven targets per game in […]

Leonard Fournette Has Upside In Week 10

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette has the upper hand in this backfield ahead of a juicy matchup with the Panthers in Week 10. Fournette has out-snapped fellow back Ronald Jones II in each of the last three games and out-touched him in two of them. Most importantly, the former Jaguar has averaged 6.3 […]

Ronald Jones II A Flex Play Against Panthers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II gets a favorable matchup in Week 10 against Carolina. After rattling off three straight games with at least 100 yards rushing, Jones II has been held under 50 yards on the ground in three straight contests with a snap count percentage under 50 percent in each. While […]

Tom Brady Poised For Bounce-Back Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is coming off a terrible three-interception performance in a 35-point loss on national television against the Saints in Week 9. Brady has had eight losses by 20 or more points in his career and is 7-1 in the games following such losses. He owns 19 touchdowns to just three […]

Carlton Davis Unable To Practice Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis (knee) was kept on the sidelines for Thursday's practice as the team's premier corner battles a knee ailment.

Lies, Damned Lies, and Fantasy Statistics - Broken Tackle Rate

Like it or not, the life force of your fantasy team usually dwells within the running backs on your roster. Having a stud like Dalvin Cook or Alvin Kamara alone can keep you at the top of the standings even when other players don't pan out. Those left holding the bag on Melvin Gordon, Jonathan […]

Buccaneers Not Worried About Mike Evans' Targets

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers coach Kevin Garver isn't exactly worried about wide receiver Mike Evans' lack of targets this year, explaining that the offense is run by a quarterback (future Hall of Famer Tom Brady) who spreads the wealth. The Bucs receiving corps ranks among the top 10 in the NFL, but Evans (34 […]

Tape Tells All: Jake Luton's Week 9 Performance

The Jacksonville Jaguars have a new starting quarterback. As Gardner Minshew II deals with a hand injury, the team has turned to rookie sixth-round pick Jake Luton to man the QB position.

In Week 9, we saw performances such as the Minnesota Vikings wide receivers combining for five receptions, Josh Allen throwing for 415 yards, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 9's Studs Turned Duds

The outdated thought in fantasy was that running backs carry the top end of a team, while the depth of wide receiver allowed managers to use many more options from that position. The latter remains true, but the former no longer is. There is no top end of the running back position. In Week 9, […]

Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Jets vs Patriots

After several fun and exciting Monday night matchups, we have gotten into the unfortunate part of the season. The Tampa Bay and Giants matchup seemed rough… but then the Patriots and Jets game entered the picture and I feel like none of us will be the same. If you are starting more than one of […]

Lavonte David Suffers Hyperextended Knee

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David (knee) suffered a hyperextended knee in the blowout loss to the division-rival Saints on Sunday night, but he's expected to be fine going forward. David was able to record four solo tackles and three assists while also recovering a fumble in Week 9. The 30-year-old from Nebraska is a […]

Rob Gronkowski Manages One Catch

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski could only muster one catch for two yards on six targets in the Week 9 loss to the Saints. Gronk had a rough night and this comes after a four-game stretch where he had at least 41 yards in each game and three total touchdowns. The TE has […]

Antonio Brown Has Three Catches

After a year off the field, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown appeared in a game once again and finished with three receptions for 31 yards on five targets in his Tampa debut. The entire team had an off-night so it's still hard to assess Brown's value on this offense. Nevertheless, he should be […]

Chris Godwin Accumulates 41 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin had three receptions for 41 yards on six targets in Week 9. The WR dealt with a finger injury that caused him to miss last week but he had a modest outing this week. When he's on the field, Godwin brings huge potential and remains an integral part […]

Mike Evans Has 64 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans finished Week 9 with four receptions for 64 yards on six targets. Despite the Bucs struggling the entire game, Evans paced the team in yards and had a decent outing. The WR now has over 50 yards in the past two games and will look to build some […]

Leonard Fournette Has 41 Receiving Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette finished Week 9 with one carry for zero yards and six receptions for 41 yards on six targets. The rushing attack was left behind after the team fell behind early in the game, but Fournette's value in the passing game is better than that of Ronald Jones II. […]

Ronald Jones II Has Only Three Carries

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II had only three carries for nine yards along with three receptions for nine yards on four targets in Week 9. The Bucs had to ditch the run game as they fell behind quickly and Jones never had many opportunities in this game. With Leonard Fournette in the […]

Tom Brady Throws Three Picks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady went 22-for-38 for 209 yards and three picks in the Week 9 loss to the Saints. It was an off-night for the Bucs who couldn't seem to get in sync at all. As a result, this was Brady's worst performance of the season. Nevertheless, the QB has had some […]
