I am glad football is back, I really am. I am forever grateful that the players are risking their health for our amusement, and I am thankful for each snap I get to watch. Pretty much all of us feel this way, I would imagine. So take what I am about to say with a […]

Buccaneers Defense Not A Great Option Against Packers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense faces their toughest test yet in Week 6. They'll go up against a red-hot Aaron Rodgers and the league's highest-scoring offense, the Green Bay Packers. Fantasy managers who play in leagues that penalize defenses for points scored will want to avoid Tampa Bay this week. Green Bay has also had […]

Ryan Succop Faces Tough Matchup

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop faces a tough matchup in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. Succop took advantage of a favorable matchup against the Bears last week, making all four field-goals and an extra-point. It won't be so easy this week, as the Packers have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game […]

Cameron Brate A Low-End TE2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate gets a tough Week 6 date with the Packers. Green Bay has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends and has yet to allow a touchdown to the position. Brate was out-snapped by fellow tight end Rob Gronkowski, who has held him off in terms of […]

Rob Gronkowski A Touchdown-Dependent Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski will face off with the Packers in Week 6. Green Bay has been a tricky matchup for opposing tight ends, as they've allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Gronkowski saw the same amount of targets as fellow tight end Cameron Brate in Week 5, […]

Leave Leonard Extremely Risky In Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) will be a game-time decision for his team's Week 6 contest against the Packers. Fournette was active last week despite not being able to practice, so one would expect him to suit up this week after being limited in practice for three straight sessions. Even if he […]

Ronald Jones II A Solid RB2 In Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II gets a favorable matchup against the Packers in Week 6. Green Bay has allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing backs, though their rating is a bit deceptive. The Packers have actually allowed the ninth-fewest rushing yards compared to the sixth-most receiving yards per game to opposing […]

Tom Brady Has Upside Against Packers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will face the Packers and their high-octane offense in Week 6. Green Bay comes into the contest scoring a league-high 38 points per game while allowing 25.3 per game. In short, they've found themselves in a lot of shootouts, which bodes well for Tom Brady, who is coming off […]

Mike Evans, Chris Godwin Will Play Versus Packers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans (ankle) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) were taken off the final injury report and will play in Week 6 against the Packers. Evans hasn't been 100 percent for most of the year, but he hasn't missed a game and has scored in each of his five games. However, aside […]

Mike Evans, Leonard Fournette, Scotty Miller Up In The Air

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receivers Mike Evans (ankle) and Scotty Miller (groin, hip) and running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) will likely be game-time decisions for Week 6 against the Packers. Evans continues to play through nagging injuries and he was a limited practice participant on Thursday, so we'd expect […]

Chris Godwin Should Be Good For Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians thinks that wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring) will play in Week 6 against the Packers. "I think Godwin's going to go," Arians said. Godwin will likely be questionable after getting in limited practices this week, but it sounds as though he's trending in the right direction. He's missed […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Fantasy GMs are to be commended for rising to the unique challenges that have unfolded during this regular season. Injuries to critical players is an unwelcome reality that occurs every year.

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Week 6 is not going to be kind to fantasy football managers at the tight end position. Four teams are on bye, which means fantasy players will not have Las Vegas’ Darren Waller, New Orleans’ Jared Cook, Los Angeles’ Hunter Henry, and Seattle’s Greg Olsen at their disposal. On top of that, fantasy footballers might […]

Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Being a tight end in a Tom Brady-led offense has proven quite fruitful in the past, but there wasn't much hope surrounding Cameron Brate coming into the 2020 season with O.J.

Godwin and McCoy were inactive last Thursday night. Fournette was active against the Bears but didn't see a single touch in the […]

Week 5 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Unlike Week 4 where 17 quarterbacks scored at least 20-fantasy points, only 11 quarterbacks reached that same mark in Week 5. Patrick Mahomes finished the week as the No. 1 quarterback on the week, while Ryan Fitzpatrick finished No. 2 in surprising fashion against a tough 49ers Defense. Travis Kelce finished Week 5 as the […]
