Ryan Griffin Out With Illness Wednesday

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin (illness) did not practice on Wednesday. Griffin should be able to play this weekend in a great matchup with the Dolphins. At a very thin position, he's become a low-end TE1 for fantasy owners and has found the end zone in two of the last three games, including […]

Scott Miller Not Practicing Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Scott Miller (hamstring) is not practicing on Wednesday. Miller doesn't look close to returning after sitting out in Week 13. Breshad Perriman capitalized with five catches for a season-high 87 yards in the win over the Jaguars in Week 13, but it's extremely hard […]

Ronald Jones II Still The Starter

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that running back Ronald Jones II remains the starter over Peyton Barber. Jones was benched last week after missing a blitz pickup and saw Barber capitalize with two rushing touchdowns in the win over the Jaguars. Despite the vote of confidence moving forward, Jones is extremely hard […]

Lamar Jackson: MVP in Reality and Fantasy?

The NFL MVP talk is generating a lot of buzz right now as two QBs, Lamar Jackson and Russell Wilson, are the clear frontrunners. The honor almost always goes to a signal-caller, and the fact that two dual-threat types are the top candidates shows how the position has clearly evolved. Quarterback is still the most […]

Week 13 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 13, several of the highest-scoring quarterbacks were guys who have been disappointing as of late.

O.J. Howard Produces In Week 13

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard acquired five of six targets for 61 yards in the Bucs 28-11 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Mike Evans Has Below-Average Week 13

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans secured four of 11 targets for 53 yards in the Bucs 28-11 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Chris Godwin Comes Back Down To Earth In Week 13

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin caught four of six targets for 50 yards in the Buccaneers 28-11 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman grabbed five of six targets for 87 yards in the Buccaneers 28-11 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Peyton Barber Scores Twice In Bucs Win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber rushed 17 times for 44 yards and two touchdowns in the Bucs Week 13 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Barber and Ronald Jones II initially started out sharing the load, but Jones all but disappeared from the rotation after Barber's 15-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Barber's second […]

Ronald Jones II A Ghost In Week 13

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II again fell victim to the Bucs seesaw backfield usage. Jones rushed just six times for eight yards in the Bucs Week 13 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. After seemingly taking over the Bucs backfield over the last few weeks, this has to be extremely disappointing for fantasy […]

Jameis Winston Posts Dud In Week 13

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston let fantasy owners down at the most critical juncture of the fantasy season, completing 21 of 33 passes for 268 yards and zero touchdowns in the Bucs Week 13 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. This was the first time this season Winston did not record a touchdown pass in […]
