LeSean McCoy Has Grade 2 Ankle Sprain

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) suffered a Grade 2 ankle sprain in the Week 4 win over the Chargers, according to a source. The injury will most likely keep him out of Thursday night's matchup against the Bears in Week 5. Consider McCoy week-to-week for now. Shady just hasn't been much of […]

Ke'Shawn Vaughn (RB, TB) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn saw his first NFL action in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers and came away with his first career touchdown in the game. Vaughn caught a key nine-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady […]

Scotty Miller (WR, TB) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In an offense that features the likes of Mike Evans, O.J. Howard, Chris Godwin, and Rob Gronkowski, you'd be forgiven for not paying much attention to whatever Scotty Miller is doing. That'd be if he wasn't actually the second-best receiver playing for […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, CAR) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Teddy B has surprised some folks, but he's been good to have Carolina at an even 2-2 through four weeks of play while not being bad at manning the offense from the pocket. While Bridgewater won't win you the league, he's been a […]

Buccaneers Defense Puts Up Solid Numbers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense had a solid showing in a 38-31 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The 31 points allowed weren't great, though they allowed just 7 points in the second half, as they held strong when they needed to. The unit registered two sacks, one fumble recovery and one interception in the […]

Ryan Succop Nails A Field-Goal And Five Extra-Points

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop enjoyed a solid day in his team's 38-31 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He did miss a field-goal, but rebounded to make a chip shot attempt, in addition to his five extra-points. Succop is 5 of 6 on field-goal attempts and 13 of 14 on extra-points, making him […]

Cameron Brate Hauls In Touchdown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate caught just one pass in a Week 4 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. However, he made it count, as it was a touchdown grab. The veteran tight end could see increased usage if O.J. Howard (Achilles) is out for extended time. With Rob Gronkowski's wonky involvement, Brate […]

Rob Gronkowski Manages One Catch Against Chargers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski caught just one pass for 29 yards in a 38-31 win over the Chargers. Gronkowski was essentially invisible as a receiver all day, as Tampa Bay turned him back into the blocker they said they would. The veteran tight end has been a complete non-factor in three of […]

Justin Watson Sees Six Targets

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Justin Watson saw six targets in a win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Watson only managed 40 receiving yards, but the opportunity was there for him and Tom Brady didn't shy away from him. That's a good sign ahead of Week 5, as Tampa Bay could be without as many […]

Ke'Shawn Vaughn Catches First Career Touchdown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn rushed the ball three times for four yards and caught two passes for 22 receiving yards and a touchdown. Vaughn saw more work with Leonard Fournette (ankle), LeSean McCoy (ankle) and Kenjon Barner (concussion) all out of the game. It was the Ronald Jones II show and it […]

O.J. Howard Has Good Game, Leaves With Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (Achilles) caught three of six targets for 50 receiving yards and a touchdown in a win over the Chargers. Howard was carted off the field in the fourth quarter and was promptly ruled out for the remainder of the contest, which doesn't exactly bode well for his status […]

Scotty Miller Posts 83 Yards And A Score

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller caught five of seven targets for 83 receiving yards and a touchdown in a win over the Chargers. Miller did most of his damage on one series, going deep for a 44-yard reception, then scoring a touchdown on the subsequent play. The 24-year-old finally benefitted from the absence […]

Mike Evans Goes For 122 Yards And A Touchdown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (ankle) caught seven of eight targets for 122 yards and a touchdown in a 38-31 win over the Chargers. Evans basically played the whole game on a bad ankle, but it sure didn't look like that. Los Angeles had no answers for the Brady-Evans connection, as the star […]

Ronald Jones II Has 100-Yard Day

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II took advantage of the absence of fellow back Leonard Fournette (ankle). Jones II powered his way to his second career 100-yard game, rushing for 111 yards on 20 attempts along with six catches on nine targets. The workload was enormous for the 23-year-old, as no other back […]

Tom Brady Dissects Chargers Defense For Five Scores

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady enjoyed his best game as a member of the team. Brady completed 30 of 46 passes for 369 yards with five touchdowns and one interception, which was returned for a touchdown. The 43-year-old shook off a tough interception and proceeded to play like the Tom Terrific that Patriots fans […]

O.J. Howard Ruled Out For Remainder Of Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (Achilles) was injured during the Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. He will not return. Before being carted off the field, the 25-year-old was arguably having his best game of the 2020 campaign by catching three passes for 50 yards and a touchdown. The exact nature […]

Mike Evans Leaves Game Against Chargers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has limped to the locker room after suffering an apparent lower leg injury against the Chargers. Already without Chris Godwin, the Buccaneers could be in a bad spot if Evans is unable to return to this game. Scotty Miller is now the top receiving option for quarterback Tom […]

LeSean McCoy Questionable To Return Against Chargers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) is questionable to return in Week 4 against the Chargers. The Buccaneers are already without Leonard Fournette, so if McCoy is unable to return, they'll have to rely heavily on Ronald Jones II the rest of the way.

Scotty Miller Active In Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller (hip/groin) will play in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Good news for the Bucs and quarterback Tom Brady, who were already set to be without wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring). The Chargers Defense should be able to limit the damage from Tampa, but in a Bruce […]

Week 4 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Another week, and another six out of the top 10 defenses correct. Some of the top ones were gimmes, and I'm a little surprised by how the Chargers Defense laid an egg versus Carolina and the way the Bills Defense just seemed totally lost against the Rams in the second half. I'm happy I trusted […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 4) - Targets and Avoids

Another great week of football that saw comebacks, blowouts and even a tie. And now we're dealing with the first COVID outbreak in the NFL. Hopefully everyone is healthy and if any games get postponed, they will be played. Favorites went 9-6-1 straight up in Week 3 and 9-7 against the spread. My best bets […]

WR/CB Matchups to Target and Avoid - Week 4

Three weeks into the NFL season, the PPGA (points per game against) stat is beginning to stabilize and give us a better understanding of CB matchups. The truth is that defensive performance against a position is mostly driven by the receiver. For example, WR2s are only averaging 2.7 PPG against the Bengals. That is more […]
