Regression is Coming - Five Players Bound to Decline

It's been three weeks of games already. That means we're quickly approaching the completion of the first quarter of the season. Time flies, folks. With a big enough sample of data already in our hands, it's time we start separating the wheat from the chaff before it's too late. And that's what I'm here for. […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 4 (10/4/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Woah baby did we have some sweats going on in Week 3, but we earned a sweep that will hopefully set the tone for the rest of the season. While this is without a doubt the most unprecedented season of my lifetime, the NFL will do everything they can to keep the train from derailing. […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 4 - Daily Fantasy Football

Week 4 is here, and unfortunately, COVID-19 has made its first significant appearance of the regular season as the matchup between the Steelers and Titans has been rescheduled. When we thought it couldn't get any worse related to the Coronavirus, more news hit on Saturday that the game between the New England Patriots and the […]

Buccaneers Defense Gets Juicy Matchup

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense is red-hot coming into a matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. Take a look at the Buccaneers' key defensive stats over the last two weeks: 11 sacks, three interceptions, two fumble recoveries, a safety and a blocked punt. There might be no hotter defensive unit in fantasy right now and […]

Ryan Succop A Great Play In Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop gets a great matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4. Succop has missed just two combined kicks this season and will face a Chargers team that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this season. There should be opportunities for Succop in the red zone, […]

O.J. Howard Not A Starting Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard appears to have taken a backseat to Rob Gronkowski. Howard played just 49 percent of the snaps compared to 93 percent for Gronkowski and was out-targeted seven to four. It seemed like Howard would rise up and be the superior tight end for fantasy, especially after head coach […]

Rob Gronkowski Could Put Up TE1 Numbers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski will face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4. Gronkowski is coming off his best performance of the season, as he out-snapped fellow tight end O.J. Howard and saw a season-high seven targets, turning them into six catches for 48 yards. The Chargers rank 14th in the league […]

Justin Watson An Iffy Play Against Chargers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Justin Watson (shoulder) was a full participant at Friday's practice and won't carry an injury designation into a matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. There are a lot of targets potentially on the table with Chris Godwin (hamstring) out and Scotty Miller (hip, groin) questionable. Even if Miller plays, Watson […]

Scotty Miller Questionable Against Chargers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller (groin, hip) is listed as questionable after getting a full practice session in on Friday. Miller is likely to play, though it will be hard to trust him, even without Chris Godwin (hamstring) playing. The 23-year-old did put up 83 receiving yards in Week 3, but he did […]

Mike Evans A Volume-Based WR1 In Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans will face off with the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4. Evans is going up against a defensive unit that has allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards through three weeks, led by star cornerback Casey Heyward Jr. Still, Evans will be operating on the outside without teammate Chris Godwin […]

Ronald Jones II Should See Bigger Workload

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II will take on a tough Chargers Defense in Week 4. Jones II should handle a bigger workload this week with Leonard Fournette (ankle) ruled out for the contest. The Chargers have bottled up most halfbacks on the ground this year, though they have been susceptible to receiving […]

Tom Brady More Of A QB2 Against Chargers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady faces a tough matchup against the Chargers in Week 4. The Chargers rank 14th in the league in pass DVOA and have been pretty stingy against the pass, though their best games have come against Joe Burrow and Teddy Bridgewater. They'll also be without their best corner Chris Harris […]

Leonard Fournette Ruled Out For Week 4

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Fournette wasn't able to practice at all this week after sustaining an ankle injury in Week 3 against the Broncos, so it's not surprising that he's not suiting up. Tampa Bay will go with Ronald […]

RB Insurance Report: Essential Adds and Backfield Updates

Chris Carson often plays at a fantasy RB1 level when he is available. But he has a checkered injury history that even preceded his college days. So when I drafted him in several leagues this season, I made sure to take Carlos Hyde later on as an insurance pick every time. So when Carson went […]

Key Moves to Save the Season for Winless Fantasy Teams

No fantasy football manager ever goes into the season thinking he or she is staring down the barrel of an 0-3 start. Maybe we have a roster spot or two we can foresee giving us issues, but unless we possess the most defeatist of attitudes, we likely feel the team we drafted will give us […]

Leonard Fournette, Scotty Miller Miss Another Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) and wide receiver Scotty Miller (groin, hip) are both missing practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Fournette suffered a minor ankle injury in the Week 3 win over the Broncos, but he'll need to get in at least a limited practice on Friday to have […]

Top Early-Season Trade Targets

We’re three weeks into the NFL season, and it’s time for you to start getting aggressive on your league mates. After three weeks, people are convinced they know who’s going to be the producers for their fantasy teams later in the year. They’re wrong, and, with that in mind, you can capitalize on guys that […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 4

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Chris Godwin Out For Week 4 With Hamstring Pull

An MRI exam on Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring) on Tuesday confirmed a mild hamstring pull, according to a source. Godwin will be out for Week 4 against the Chargers and could also miss next Thursday's game against the Bears, but he shouldn't be out much more after that. You'll obviously need […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 3's Studs Turned Duds

The NFL was low on studs in Week 3. The top two players in fantasy, Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley, were both out injured. Three of the top wide receivers in football, Julio Jones, Davante Adams, and Michael Thomas, were all out as well. We also were without the second-best tight end in the game […]

FAB Bidding - Week 4 Waiver Wire Targets

It's time for our famous waiver wire pickups list and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, the column that focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Budget (FAB). In case you were not aware, several fantasy sports platforms are switching from FAAB to FAB in […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

This is the week the rookie receivers emerged in 2020. Justin Jefferson exploded for 7-175-1 and finally gives the Vikings a viable option behind Adam Thielen. Brandon Aiyuk looks like he could be the answer to San Francisco's WR injury woes by living up to his first-round status. Gabriel Davis took advantage of John Brown's […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 4 Lightning Round

With many of us still reeling from the injury-filled Week 2, we were faced with further injuries to Chris Carson (knee), Dallas Goedert (ankle), DeSean Jackson (hamstring), Jordan Reed (ankle/knee), Russell Gage (head), Diontae Johnson (possible concussion), John Brown (calf), Tarik Cohen (knee), Michael Pittman Jr. (ankle), Chris Godwin (hamstring), and Mike Williams (hamstring). Take […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

Week 3 is in the books. It was a week of close, exciting games, and also the week that the Bengals and Eagles played to a tie, with both teams giving up at the very end to avoid losing. That was a very bad overtime. Anyway, wide receivers! That's why you're here! Read on to […]

Deeper League Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 4

The NFL season is moving along and so are fantasy seasons. This season has been filled with more injuries than anticipated, unfortunately leaving many teams and fantasy squads to test their depth. Through three weeks, guys like Chris Godwin, Christian McCaffrey, and Saquon Barkley have hardly made much of a fantasy impact. As we go […]

Week 3 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Week 3 was a wild one in the NFL with several key players going down with injuries and a few shootouts going down. The quarterback position was fairly stable with Russell Wilson, Josh Allen and Dak Prescott finishing as the top-three producers at the position. Tight end on the other hand was an absolute disaster […]
