Buccaneers Defense A Strong Streaming Option
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense is a strong streaming option for Week 3 against the Broncos. Denver will be starting backup QB Jeff Driskel and has lost key players such as Courtland Sutton and Philip Lindsay for this game as well. Meanwhile, the Bucs' defense has generated two picks, six sacks, and two fumble recoveries […]
O.J. Howard Best Left On Bench
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard should be considered as nothing more than a backup tight end for this week. In two games thus far, Howard has nine total targets for 47 yards, but six of those targets and 36 receiving yards came in Week 1. It's safe to conclude Howard does not have […]
Rob Gronkowski Better Off On The Bench In Week 3
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski is better left on the bench for the Week 3 matchup against the Broncos. Through two games, QB Tom Brady's old pal has only seen four targets and converted it to 11 yards total. While Gronk can be a game-changing player, he hasn't proved that he can be […]
Chris Godwin A High-End WR2
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin will finally return to action in Week 3 after missing last week due to being in the concussion protocol. Last we saw of him in Week 1, he was performing quite well and got 79 yards on seven targets. The Broncos allow the fifth-highest points to opposing WRs […]
Mike Evans Is A WR1 For Week 3
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is a solid WR1 for Week 3 against the Broncos. After a bad Week 1 showing, Evans rebounded with a great Week 2 which saw him accumulate 10 targets and 104 yards. It seems the chemistry between the WR and his new QB Tom Brady is slowly developing […]
Ronald Jones II Only A Flex For This Week
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II should only be considered a flex piece for this week's matchup against Denver. Jones started off the season great with 17 carries in Week 1 before getting only seven carries in Week 2. The direct reason why is the presence of Leonard Fournette, who eclipsed 100 yards […]
Leonard Fournette An RB2 For This Week
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette should be considered an RB2 in this week's contest against the Broncos. The workhorse back finally showed his true colors last week by erupting for 103 rush yards on 12 carries. Nevertheless, this Tampa Bay RBs unit remains a mystery considering Fournette only had five carries for five […]
Evaluating Early Air Yard Data - Week 3
Air yards are becoming a more commonly used statistic for fantasy football purposes. Popularized by Josh Hermsmeyer, who developed metrics like RACR (receiver air conversion ratio) and WOPR (weighted opportunity rating), it is a useful way to dig deeper into receiver performance beyond just targets, receptions, and yards gained. Statistics like Mike Clay's aDoT (average […]
Tom Brady A QB2 For Week 3
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady should be considered a QB2 for Week 3. Brady has started the season thus far with three touchdowns and three picks while only throwing for 217 and 239 yards, respectively. This week, he will face the Broncos, a team he has often times struggled against. Not helping the matter […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3
Whew, that was a rough day of football. It seemed like we just watched an endless parade of injuries all day. It wasn't quite as rough for wide receivers as it was for other positions. But while your No. 1 waiver claim this week might not end up being a wide receiver, that doesn't mean […]
Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3
Two weeks down, two tight ends down! The pickings are not slim at the tight end position in most fantasy leagues this early in the season. There are still plenty of grizzled veterans and up-and-coming youngsters to choose from for fantasy football managers. That is good news for those who might need a fill-in with […]
Bruce Arians Not Surprised By Rob Gronkowski's Slow Start
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said he's "not really" surprised that tight end Rob Gronkowski has just four targets in the first two games of the season. His lone target in the Week 2 win over the Panthers was intercepted. "We're not throwing the ball 50 times to the tight ends. That's what […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round
An injury-laden Week 2 serves as yet another reminder that health is precious, and that skipping preseason is not ideal. Prior to SNF, we've seen the following offensive players injured to some degree: Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey, Davante Adams, Raheem Mostert, Cam Akers, Courtland Sutton, Parris Campbell, Sterling Shepard, Breshad Perriman, Jimmy Garoppolo, Drew Lock, and […]
Week 2 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!
In Week 2, the quarterback position was fairly predictable as Dak Prescott, Cam Newton, Josh Allen, Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray finished in the top-five with Matt Ryan and Patrick Mahomes finishing as QB-6 and QB-7, respectively. The main surprise from Week 2 was Lamar Jackson's modest performance, barely finishing inside the top-20 as the […]
Monday Night Football Starts and Sits: Week 2 Matchup Analysis
Week 1 has come and gone and now our sights look toward week 2. This week's Monday night football game has both the Saints and Raiders as 1-0 teams with significant injuries. The Saints will be without Michael Thomas on Monday night while the Raiders offense will have a potentially limited Henry Ruggs III (knee) […]
Chris Godwin Will Play In Week 3
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Chris Godwin (head) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will play in Week 3 against the Broncos. Godwin will return to action after missing the Week 2 win over the Panthers. The 24-year-old got off to a good start in Week 1 with […]
Buccaneers Defense Dominant Against Panthers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense looked very convincing in a Week 2 win over Carolina. The unit recorded five sacks, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries en route to a 31-17 victory. Rising star Devin White led the team in tackles with 15 while Ndamukong Suh recorded two sacks. With a Week 3 date set […]
Ryan Succop Has Decent Day In Win
Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop made one field-goal and four extra-points in a 31-17 win over the Panthers. Succop had a solid role in Week 2, as the Buccaneers offense made several trips to the red zone. That could be a common occurrence with the number of weapons they possess on offense. After two […]
O.J. Howard Musters One Catch In Week 2
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard saw three targets and caught one of them for 11 receiving yards in Week 2. There aren't too many positives to take from this performance for Howard, though one is that he looked better than Rob Gronkowski, who failed to record a catch. This tight end room hasn't […]
Rob Gronkowski Held Without A Catch
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski was targeted once but didn't record a catch in a 31-17 win over Carolina. It was incredibly disappointing for fantasy managers to see, especially considering there were vacated targets with Chris Godwin (head) sitting out. Gronkowski has looked like someone who's been away from football after two games, […]
LeSean McCoy Catches Five Passes
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back LeSean McCoy hauled in five of seven targets for 26 receiving yards in Week 2. McCoy also handled one carry, though he went backwards on it. The veteran back was expected to occupy some sort of pass-catching role for Tampa Bay and he was able to do that well, helping […]
Scotty Miller Held In Check By Panthers
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller had a quiet day in a Week 2 win over the Panthers. Miller was targeted three times and caught two of them for 11 receiving yards. The 23-year-old looked like a great sleeper pick with Chris Godwin (head) sidelined, but all of the glory ended up going to […]
