Mike Evans Hopes To Bounce Back

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was a complete non-factor Week 5 against the Saints Defense. Cornerback Marshon Lattimore shadowed Evans the entire game and relinquished absolutely nothing. Evans ended with three targets for zero catches, zero yards and zero touchdowns. The last time that happened was 2015. He clearly looked frustrated during the […]

Chris Godwin Is Breaking Records

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (hip) preyed on the Saints Defense in Week 5 in the Superdome. While cornerback Marshon Lattimore was extinguishing Mike Evans, Godwin was able to work underneath all afternoon, accumulating seven receptions for 125 yards and two touchdowns. He showed impressive quickness and strength throughout the day. Godwin is the […]

Jameis Winston Needs To Get Mike Evans The Ball

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston acknowledged that they need to get wide receiver Mike Evans the ball in order to win games. Evans was held without a catch last week against the Saints for just the second time in his six-year NFL career. He has one 100-yard game -- an eight-catch, 180-yard, three-touchdown performance […]

Jameis Winston A QB2 In Tough Week 6 Matchup

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston put up a lackluster performance in Week 5, and with the Carolina Panthers on deck for Week 6, another middling effort could be on the horizon.

In Week 5, there were several players that exploded in fantasy lineups, scoring multiple touchdowns. Wide receivers Will Fuller, Michael Thomas, D.J.

Peyton Barber Scores In Bucs Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber didn't necessarily disappoint fantasy owners Sunday, however, that may be due to the fact that expectations were low for the Bucs running back.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin rewarded fantasy owners in a big way Sunday, catching 7-of-9 targets for 125 yards and two touchdowns in the Bucs loss to the Saints.

Mike Evans Doesn't Record A Catch In Week 5
