Week 8 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Windy conditions impacted several games this week, and as a result only Patrick Mahomes eclipsed 30 fantasy points as teams seemingly relied more on the run given the weather. In Week 8 only seven quarterbacks cracked 20 points, so scoring was down in general. At tight end Travis Kelce was one of only two tight […]

Buccaneers Defense Intercepts Two Passes

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense had a solid day in a 25-23 win over the New York Giants. The unit recorded three sacks and two interceptions against Daniel Jones and the Giants' offensive line. All things considered, it was a good performance by the Giants to limit what could have been an ugly game. Tampa […]

Ryan Succop Nails Four Field Goals

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop made all four field goals and one extra-point attempt in a 25-23 win over the New York Giants. Succop had plenty of chances in the red zone, as the Buccaneers offense got off to a sluggish start in this one. He would have had another attempt at an extra […]

Rob Gronkowski Finds The End Zone In Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski played a pivotal role for his team yet again in a Week 8 win over the Giants. Gronkowski caught four passes for 41 receiving yards and a touchdown, which gave Tampa Bay the lead. Gronkowski has now scored a touchdown in three straight games and has eclipsed 50 […]

Tyler Johnson Posts Just 35 Receiving Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tyler Johnson saw just two targets and caught both of them for 35 receiving yards in a 25-23 win over the Giants. Johnson had an opportunity in front of him with Chris Godwin (finger) out of the lineup, though he wasn't able to capitalize on it. The 22-year-old has gone […]

Scotty Miller Held To Three Catches In Win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller caught three of six targets for 35 receiving yards in a victory over the Giants. The six targets were nice, but Miller and Brady weren't on the same page on a couple of throws down the field, limiting Miller's numbers. This is the second time that the 23-year-old […]

Mike Evans Hauls In Late Touchdown Grab

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans hauled in five of seven targets for 55 receiving yards and a touchdown against the Giants. It was a quiet start, but Evans came up big late in the game for the Buccaneers, beating James Bradberry in the end zone for a diving grab. The star wideout has […]

Leonard Fournette Turns 18 Touches Into 71 Scrimmage Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette saw a team-high 18 touches and picked up 71 scrimmage yards en route to a 25-23 victory over the Giants. Fournette saw increased playing time after fellow back Ronald Jones II had a bad fumble, as the former played 51 of 69 total snaps. The former Jaguar didn't […]

Ronald Jones II Fumbles, Held To 46 Scrimmage Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II carried the ball seven times for 23 rushing yards and caught four passes for 23 receiving yards in a 25-23 win over the Giants. Jones II had a bad fumble inside his team's 20-yard line, which set up the Giants for a touchdown. This seemed to earn […]

Tom Brady Throws For Two Scores In Win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady completed 28 of 40 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns in a 25-23 win over the Giants. Brady started slow but rebounded with two second-half touchdown passes to lead his team to victory. It wasn't always pretty, as the Giants Defense pressured him at times and forced him […]

How Much Does Shadow Coverage Impact Wide Receivers?

If you only play redraft fantasy football, you know that no matter what you have to play your studs week in and week out. That is non-negotiable, and your lineup decisions mostly come down to who to play at lower-level spots such as WR3 or FLEX. If you play DFS contests, though, you know that […]

With six or seven games of data for each team, situations are becoming more crystalized and teams are game-planning to exploit clear-cut coverage weaknesses.

Week 8 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 7 was relatively successful with seven correctly predicted top-10 defenses after the Los Angeles Rams strong effort on Monday night. Washington was a close call as they made my top-12, but I never thought the Cowboys offense would fall off the cliff as steeply as it did on Sunday, and both Arizona and Jacksonville […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 8) - Targets and Avoids

Last week had the feel some underdogs would come through knocking remaining entrants of survivor pools in half. But that wasn't the case. Underdogs went 8-5 against the spread with four outright upsets. The biggest was the Cardinals +3.5 beating the Seahawks. The Chargers gave many remaining entrants a scare when they fell behind in […]

Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups - Week 8

The need for last-minute replacements and waiver wire pickups in fantasy football has never been higher. Arizona, Washington, Jacksonville and Houston are on bye this week, which already leaves most fantasy football teams shorthanded.
