Jameis Winston A Solid Option In Week 10

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston will return home this week to play the Arizona Cardinals in what should be a high-scoring affair. Winston has thrown for at least 300 yards and two touchdown passes in three consecutive games and should have no problem continuing that streak against a Cardinals Defense that is currently ranked […]

Ronald Jones II Has Big Opportunity In Plus Matchup

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II was given a vote of confidence after his Week 9 performance, with Bucs head coach Bruce Arians telling reporters that Jones "has earned the right to play a little bit more and start the ballgame." All Jones has to do now is take advantage of this opportunity, […]

O.J. Howard, Cameron Brate Practicing In Full

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight ends O.J. Howard (hamstring) and Cameron Brate (ribs) both returned to a full practice on Wednesday. Howard is on track to return after missing the last two games. He's done very little for fantasy owners that were expecting a breakout this year, hauling in just 13 of his 18 targets for […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Keenan Allen, Damien Williams, Mohamed Sanu

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. […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 10

The pressure is on, folks. With just four games left in the regular fantasy football season, now is the time to secure high-upside handcuffs and high-floor fill-ins for those players injured or on bye. Each week, the waiver wire scrap heap appears to get smaller and smaller, but that just means you have to squint […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 10 Waiver Wire Targets

Assisting our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much these free agent players will […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Like it or not, you are probably going to have to dip your toe into the waiver wire this week because there are six teams on bye. Some shouldn't affect your roster in any way (Broncos, Redskins) while others could force you to stream at one or more positions (Texans, Patriots). There is always help […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 10

The regular season continues to advance at a relentless pace as we have now entered planning for Week 10. Some of you are benefitting from favorable production from your running backs, which has allowed you to focus on other areas of your rosters. But many of you have been contending with unwanted developments at this […]

Bucs Place Antony Auclair On Injured Reserve

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed tight end Antony Auclair (toe) on the Injured Reserve on Tuesday after he was injured in the Week 9 overtime loss to the Seahawks. The Bucs signed linebacker Sam Acho in a corresponding move. Mainly a blocker, Auclair had his first catch of the season last Sunday and wasn't on […]

Week 9 Surprises? We Must Overreact

In Week 9 several high-end players had exploitable matchups and came through in a big way. Mike Evans, Tyler Lockett, and D.K. Metcalf were all expected to have big games, and all three finished in the top three in PPR scoring. At running back, David Montgomery scored two touchdowns as he continues to emerge as […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round

We're onto double digits, as Week 10 approaches and with it, a whopping six teams hitting their bye. The Broncos, Eagles, Jaguars, Patriots, Redskins and Texans are kicking their feet up, meaning nearly all of you will need some replacement parts. To help you craft the best plan possible, here is the waiver wire lightning […]

Breshad Perriman (WR, TB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I do not feel great about recommending Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman as a waiver wire option, but as someone who pays a lot of attention to targets, I have to pay some attention to Perriman. The fourth-year wideout had […]

O.J. Howard Should Be Ready For Week 10

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that tight end O.J. Howard (hamstring) should be "ready to roll" for Week 10 against the Cardinals after missing the last two games. Cameron Brate wasn't targeted at all in Week 9 with Howard sidelined. Howard has been the biggest bust at his position in fantasy with […]

Ronald Jones II Has Earned Bigger Workload

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that running back Ronald Jones II has earned the right to start and play more snaps ahead of Peyton Barber. It's about time. Jones has been the more explosive back for most of the year and just carried the ball 18 times for 67 yards and a […]

Cameron Brate Does Absolutely Nothing

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (ribs) was relegated to blocking duties in Week 9 against the Seahawks Defense. He did not receive a single target the entire game, even with O.J. Howard (hamstring) inactive. This is certainly disappointing since both Bucs tight ends have shown in the past to be legitimate fantasy starters. […]

Breshad Perriman Surprises In Week 9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman surprised with four receptions for 42 yards and a touchdown on a season-high eight targets against the Seahawks Defense. Perriman has been a bust for the first half of the season. He was brought in to replace DeSean Jackson but has done nothing at all with his opportunities […]

Chris Godwin Puts Up Average Numbers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin grabbed seven of nine targets for 61 yards in Week 9 against the Seahawks Defense. Godwin struggled to gain many yards after contact, which accounted for his low yardage output. Fellow wideout Mike Evans was the main cog once again, using his height and reach advantage to abuse […]

Mike Evans Unstoppable Once Again

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was an unstoppable force in Week 9 versus the Seahawks Defense, accumulating 12 receptions for 180 yards and one touchdown on 16 targets. The Seahawks had no answer for the master of contested catches and were fortunate to win the game in the end. The Bucs continue to […]

Peyton Barber A Non-Factor Against Seahawks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber posted a measly 15 yards on four carries in the Bucs Week 9 loss to the Seahawks. Barber, who is usually in a timeshare with Ronald Jones II, took a major back seat in this one, seeing 16 fewer touches on the day. The unpredictability of the Bucs […]

Ronald Jones II Scores In Bucs Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II rewarded fantasy owners who took the risk of starting him in Week 9, touching the ball 20 times for 82 yards and a touchdown. In a backfield that is usually mired in a strict timeshare, Jones took absolute control, seeing 16 more touches than backfield mate Ronald […]

Jameis Winston Posts Solid Effort In Bucs Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston put up a very solid performance in Week 9, but it was ultimately not enough as the Seahawks prevailed in overtime. The fifth-year signal-caller threw for 335 yards and two touchdowns while fumbling once. He held his own against Russell Wilson in this one, and while this may not […]

Ryan Griffin Plays Well Again Sunday

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin made six catches for 50 yards in a loss to the Dolphins Sunday. It could have been an even bigger day for the veteran tight end, but an apparent touchdown catch towards the end of the first half was overturned when replay revealed the ball moved a bit […]

Cameron Brate Active Against Seahawks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (ribs) is officially active for Week 9 against the Seahawks. Brate was listed as questionable but wasn't really in any danger of missing this game. Although he didn't capitalize with O.J. Howard (hamstring) out in Week 8, Brate has the opportunity to put up TE1 numbers against Seattle […]

Wide Receiver / Cornerback Matchups To Target in Week 9

In Week 8, the only unfamiliar faces to crack the top 15 at the wide receiver position were Chris Conley and Hunter Renfrow. Conley's big day came because Dede Westbrook was in and out of the game as he struggled with a shoulder injury, resulting in more targets heading Conley's way. Renfrow was fantasy-relevant because he […]
