The offenses are waking up, even on Thursday nights. That means harder times for team defenses, especially in leagues where points scored against are factored.

Breshad Perriman Ruled Out Against Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman (hamstring) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Saints. Perriman has done very little behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin this year, so he wouldn't have been a fantasy option even if he was active. As a result, rookie Scott Miller […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 5

Before we get into the waiver wire analysis, I want to state that the Patriots have put together a football dynasty like none we've ever seen. However, I think we should all agree that a 16-game season is a whole lot less taxing when six of them every year are against the Dolphins, Bills, and […]

Remember that decision you had to make on whether drafting Sony Michel, Mark Ingram, or Derrick Henry in the third round was the best […]

Where Is O.J. Howard?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard played the role of the invisible man again in Week 4, while wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin were off playing Batman and Robin. There were six touchdowns scored against the Rams Defense by five members of the Bucs offense, and still Howard was nowhere to be found. […]

Air Arians' Offense Is Taking Off

Coming into the season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were expected to have one of the top offenses in the NFL. Through the first two weeks, they averaged just 15.5 points. Over the last two weeks though, they've turned things around to average 43 points following an explosive performance in L.A. Behind the Kansas City Chiefs […]

Chris Godwin Back At Practice, Breshad Perriman Still Out

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (hip) returned to practice on Thursday, but wide receiver Breshad Perriman (hamstring) remains out. Godwin will be good to go for Week 5 in a solid matchup against the Saints at the Superdome. He was questionable leading into Week 4 but nearly put up 200 yards receiving and […]

Cameron Brate Is A TE2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate caught his first touchdown of the season from Jameis Winston during a shootout with the Rams. The Rams Defense looked confused against head coach Bruce Arians' offense, and Brate was there to capitalize.

Mike Evans Should Stand Tall

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin have been terrorizing the NFL recently. According to the NFL Research Department, both Godwin (WR3) and Evans (WR4) are top-five WRs in fantasy football. The last WR duo to finish the season with this distinction was Denver Broncos WRs Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders in […]

Jameis Winston A Solid Week 5 Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is in a good position in Week 5 to continue putting up solid fantasy numbers with the New Orleans Saints on deck. Winston has surpassed 380 passing yards in each of the past two weeks, and with the Saints Defense giving up 1,117 passing yards through the first four […]

Chris Godwin, Breshad Perriman Miss Practice Wednesday

[…]

Peyton Barber Not A Recommended Week 5 Start

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber looked solid in his Week 2 performance but has otherwise been outshined by fellow backfield mate Ronald Jones II. Barber, who looks to have taken a firm back seat to Jones, saved his Week 4 performance by scoring a touchdown after totaling just 19 yards on the ground. […]

Ronald Jones II Gaining Traction Heading Into Week 5

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II has started to separate himself from fellow backfield mate Peyton Barber over the last two weeks.
