Buccaneers Defense A Good Option

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense gets a favorable matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. The unit is an underrated one, as they were able to keep the Saints' offense in check, while generating pressure on Drew Brees. The sack and interception numbers might not have been there in Week 1, but there's potential […]

Ryan Succop A Starting Option In Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop could be in line for a good fantasy day against the Panthers in Week 2. Carolina surrendered two field-goals and four extra-points to Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson in Week 1, so the matchup has the potential to be a good one. Tampa Bay is also very capable of putting […]

O.J. Howard A TE2 Against Carolina

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard gets a pretty tough matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. Howard actually looked like the better tight end when compared to Rob Gronkowski, as he played less snaps but saw more targets and caught a touchdown pass from Tom Brady. This tight end room is almost […]

Rob Gronkowski Needs To Score To Return Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski will face off with the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. Gronkowski played 54 snaps to O.J. Howard's 37, though he caught just two of three targets for 11 yards in Week 1. Tom Brady actually looked Howard's way more frequently, so Gronkowski probably needs to score a touchdown […]

Scotty Miller In Line For Bigger Role

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller could be in line for increased usage on Sunday if fellow wideout Chris Godwin (head) is unable to play. Miller saw six targets from Brady in Week 1, hauling in five of them for 73 yards. The 23-year-old would operate as Tampa Bay's second wideout if Godwin is […]

Chris Godwin Misses Another Practice; Looking Questionable

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (head) wasn't able to practice for the second consecutive day and remains in the concussion protocol. Godwin hasn't been ruled out yet for Sunday's game against the Panthers, but he is looking very questionable at this point. If Godwin does suit up, he'll be more of a WR2, […]

Mike Evans Could Feast Against Panthers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) could be looking at a massive target share in Week 2 against the Panthers. Evans practiced in limited fashion on both Wednesday and Thursday, though he said he feels that the hamstring issue is behind him. With Chris Godwin (head) looking iffy to play, Evans will be […]

Leonard Fournette Hard To Trust For Now

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette has a great matchup ahead of him in Week 2 against the Panthers. Still, Fournette played just nine snaps and carried the ball five times for five yards in his Buccaneers debut. Game script may have limited his opportunities, though it's likely that he hasn't completely acclimated himself […]

Ronald Jones II Poised For Strong Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II gets an ideal Week 2 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Jones II played 33 snaps to Leonard Fournette's nine in Week 1, picking up 82 scrimmage yards against a Saints Defense that's tough on opposing halfbacks. Operating as the lead runner while Fournette continues to learn the […]

Tom Brady Should Bounce Back Against Carolina

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady gets a good matchup in Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. The results weren't pretty in his first appearance as a Buc, as the 43-year-old tossed two interceptions and struggled with accuracy throughout the contest. Fortunately, the Panthers are an easier defense to dissect than the Saints' unit and […]

In Week 1, the quarterback position was rather stable as Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray finished inside the top-five.

Others are too quick to throw underperforming players onto the free-agent list and then regret such moves later on. You may be thinking of cutting […]

Mike Evans Limited On Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Head coach Bruce Arians said that Evans "ran really well" and had a great practice. The 27-year-old was able to play in Week 1, though he only registered one catch. Fortunately for his fantasy managers, Evans will see a lot […]

Chris Godwin In Concussion Protocol

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (head) was not spotted at Wednesday's practice and is in the concussion protocol. Godwin took a helmet-to-helmet hit from Saints safety D.J. Swearinger late in the fourth quarter of the team's Week 1 loss but didn't feel symptoms until Wednesday. Head coach Bruce Arians said that they will […]
