In what has been a consistent weekly thing, Week 8 in fantasy brought us numerous unknowns providing sparks in terms of production. Seeing players like Drew Lock, DeeJay Dallas, and Corey Davis high in their positional rankings is not where we thought we would be at this point in the NFL season. But as injuries […]

Compiling this data and writing this article each week has made it clear that a receiver's talent and target share are more important than his opposition. With that said, fantasy managers should be aware of how […]

Chris Godwin Expected To Suit Up

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (finger) is expected to play in Week 9 against the Saints. Godwin was limited on Wednesday and Thursday, though ramped up his practice efforts to full on Friday, which was great to see. It's been an injury-filled year for the star wideout- and opportunities may be harder to […]

Week 9 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 8 was the toughest of the year so far with only four correct top-10 predictions after Tampa Bay notched seven points against the Giants on Monday night. That puts me at 40%, which is the worst finish of the season. Weather played a factor, with winds whipping over 20 MPH in a few games […]

Week 9 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

We’ve made it to Week 9. Everyone pour one out because the NFL season is officially half over. We’ve seen more injuries to star players than I think we’ve ever come across before. Defenses continue to struggle to stop opposing offenses, and kickers are benefiting in a massive way thus far. Due to some whipping […]

As this unique regular season continues to unfold, an expanding assortment of tools is available that can provide you with an extensive level of knowledge regarding this critical position.

Ryan Succop A Starting Option For Week 9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop is a starting option this week versus the Saints. Succop has been efficient this season, going 15-for-17 in field-goal attempts and 26-for-27 in extra-point attempts. The Saints offer a generally favorable matchup for kickers and Succop's great output this season means he is a decent starting option.

Buccaneers Defense Better Left On Bench

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense is not an ideal starting option this week. Despite the strength of this unit, it is quite risky to trust them against a Saints team that gave them fits in Week 1 and should have Michael Thomas back to join Alvin Kamara and Drew Brees. In addition, struggling QB Daniel […]

Rob Gronkowski A TE1 This Week

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski is a TE1 against the Saints this week. Gronk has been playing effectively the past few weeks as he has three touchdowns in the past three games along with at least 40 yards in five of the past six games. The Saints allow the fourth-most points to fantasy […]

Antonio Brown A Flex This Week

Newly acquired Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown should be considered a flex piece this week. Brown returns to the NFL after a tumultuous year and will look to build his rapport with Tom Brady. In one game with the former New England QB last year, the WR had a 4/56/1 line. It remains […]

Chris Godwin A WR2 Against Saints If Active

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin should be considered a WR2 versus the Saints if active. It's been a frustrating season for Godwin who hasn't been able to stay on the field. The addition of Antonio Brown could also affect the fantasy values of the Tampa WRs. Nevertheless, Godwin's role and value in this […]

Mike Evans A WR2 For This Week

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is a WR2 this week versus the Saints. Evans has had an inconsistent campaign this year and has eclipsed 100 yards in two of eight games. He had a decent week last week against the Giants (5/55/1) and has a chance to build on that performance in what […]

Leonard Fournette A Lower-End RB2 For Week 9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette should be considered a lower-end RB2 for Week 9. In the past two weeks, Fournette has recorded 50 and 52 rushing yards, which is more than Ronald Jones II. The former Jaguar also had more carries than Jones last week (15 vs. 7). Now, it seems both Tampa […]

Ronald Jones II A Low-End RB2 For Week 9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II is an RB2 this week against the Saints. After having a three-game stretch with over 100 yards, the RB has dropped back down to earth and has only gotten 34 and 23 rushing yards the past two weeks as a result of Leonard Fournette cutting into his […]

Tom Brady A QB1 In Week 9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is a QB1 this week against the Saints. Brady threw for 279 yards last week and has been on a robust stretch that has seen him throw for nine touchdowns and zero picks in the last four games. The Saints allow the fifth-most points to fantasy QBs and Brady […]

Chris Godwin Expected To Play Sunday Night

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pro Bowl wide receiver Chris Godwin (finger) is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Saints on Sunday night, but head coach Bruce Arians expects the receiver to play in the divisional showdown. Godwin caught passes for the first time on Friday since undergoing surgery on Oct. 27 for a fractured […]

Where Have All the Bell-Cow RBs Gone?

Picture this: It's not 2020 and you're not as old as you actually are. Instead, you're back in middle school, let's say seventh grade. Last night, you forgot (or intentionally neglected) to do your science homework because it was too nice out to be bothered with academics and you spent the evening riding your bike […]

Tape Tells All: Sterling Shepard's Week 8 Performance

After a week off because of #life, we're back with another edition of Tape Tells All. This week, we're talking about New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard, who is looking pretty good since returning to the football field. Is he a consistent fantasy option going forward? Can we really trust someone in this Giants offense? Let's […]

Week 9 Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Wire Fliers

Week 9 should be fine for fantasy footballers --- as long as their players are not on bye or listed as “questionable.” Fantasy football managers will be without their Bengals, Browns, Rams and Eagles this week, so there will be plenty of talent on fantasy benches. This bye week did not sneak up on fantasy […]

Is Josh Allen Still a Fantasy QB1?

From my apartment balcony, I can see the storm clouds on the horizon. I watch as they move closer towards me and, just before the storm reaches me, I walk inside, close the door, return to a place of safety. No matter how bad the weather gets out there, I'm inside. I'm away from it […]

Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

We are officially in the second half of the fantasy season, so most of the waiver wire gems have been snatched up. The bye weeks continue and injuries keep mounting, though.

Chris Godwin Practices In Cast

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Chris Godwin (finger) was essentially a full participant in the team's walk-through practice on Wednesday while wearing a cast on his left hand. The Buccaneers won't know until Friday if Godwin can actually catch passes with his surgically repaired finger. That doesn't sound very […]
