Peyton Barber Looks To Build Off Week 2 Performance

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber, coming off an impressive 83-yard, one-touchdown performance in Week 2, will look to keep things rolling Sunday with the New York Giants coming to town. Reports had suggested that Barber was in line to play second fiddle to Ronald Jones II against the Panthers in Week 2, but […]

Jameis Winston Will Play Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (foot) practiced in full on Wednesday and will start in Week 3 against the Giants. Winston looked a little better last Thursday than he did in Week 1, but fantasy owners were still expecting more from him in Bruce Arians' offense. Against New York's porous defense this weekend, Winston […]

Start Mike Evans With Confidence

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has been very quiet the first two games of the season. In two starts, he's caught only six passes for 89 yards. This is a bit of an anomaly compared to his first five seasons, including last year's first two games, where he compiled 17 receptions for 230 […]

Warning Signs: Week 2 Review

With Week 2 in the books, it is clearer what to be afraid of and what was a one-week fluke. David Montgomery the number two behind Mike Davis? Fluke. Oakland Raiders a good team? Fluke. But now it is time to turn to the situations which are seemingly staying the same. We need to find […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 3

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. […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 3

I will ask the obvious question on the minds of many who watched Thursday Night Football last week: what is the deal with Cam Newton? The Panthers signal-caller threw 51 times against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, yet only completed 25 of those attempts and failed to find the end zone. Perhaps his foot injury is […]

Buccaneers Not Worried About O.J. Howard

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians didn't seem too worried about tight end O.J. Howard after he didn't see any targets in the passing game last Thursday. "The balls will come. We don't dictate who gets the ball, the defense does, so sometimes it will spread around for different people every week," Arians said. […]

Should You Worry About O.J. Howard's Production?

We all know about Week 1 and its relation with overreactions. Everybody spends the summer trying to find the next big thing. The greatest bargain and the player with the highest upside entering the still-to-unwrap season. Then the first weekend rolls around and that guy you had been targeting for long, snatched in the middle […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

Week 2 solidified some waiver-wire adds as more than flashes in the pan, while other Week 1 studs followed that up with a flop. Whether you're coasting towards an easy 2-0 start, in the thick of it at 1-1 or up against it with an 0-2 team, you never stop improving. Stay tuned as injury updates […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

It was another wild and woolly week of NFL football in Week 2, and while there are still no bye weeks to contend with, plenty of owners may be seeking to make a change at quarterback. Owners of Drew Brees and Ben Roethlisberger should be looking at free-agent quarterbacks, as both veteran signal-callers potentially face […]

Ryan Griffin Gets One Target Monday

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin got one target that he didn't catch in a 23-3 loss against the Browns Monday night. Griffin now has only five targets through two games and is not a viable fantasy option in any format, especially given the Jets are likely to be starting a third-string quarterback next […]

Devin White Might Not Be Out Long

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie linebacker Devin White (knee), who went down with a knee injury just six plays into Thursday's game against the Panthers, has a Grade 1 MCL sprain and is day-to-day, according to head coach Bruce Arians. White could miss a game or two, but he's also got the advantage of having extra […]

Bruce Arians Thinks O.J. Howard Can Play Better

When asked about Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard's production through two games, head coach Bruce Arians said "he can play a heck of a lot better than he's playing." We'd agree with that, as Howard only has four catches for 32 yards through the first two weeks of the season. He wasn't targeted […]

Ronald Jones II Disappoints In Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II had just nine yards on four carries during the win over the Panthers on Thursday night. After an efficient Week 1 performance against the 49ers on Sunday, Jones fizzled out against Carolina despite rumblings of an expanded role moving forward. Nonetheless, the situation in the Bucs' backfield […]
