The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 2)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

Were you among the owners who were extremely satisfied with your situation at running back entering Week 1? Some of you might still be confident in the players that are contained on your rosters.

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

Week 1 is (mostly) in the books, and while the year is clearly over for the Bears, Browns, and Falcons, your fantasy team can still rebound from a Week 1 loss. Maybe you're considering a change at QB after being let down by one of the popular Week 1 plays like Jameis Winston or Baker […]

Week 2 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 1 of the 2019 NFL season is just about wrapped up, and we saw plenty of wild and crazy things this past weekend. The Kansas City Chiefs scored 40 points on the day, and they were only third among the highest scorers. With several high scoring games, we saw quite a few active kickers. […]

Week 2 Deeper League Waiver Pickups

T.J. Hockenson: Your New Dynasty TE1

It certainly didn’t take long for rookie first-round pick T.J. Hockenson to make his presence known in Detroit. Selected eighth overall in the 2019 NFL Draft, Hockenson was one of the catalysts to Detroit’s offense in Week 1, catching six passes for 131 yards and a touchdown. He led the team in receiving yards and […]

Ronald Jones II (RB, TB) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues OWNED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: No rookie had a worse year in 2018 than Ronald Jones II. The USC product played in just nine games and ran 23 times for 44 yards (1.9 yards per tote) and only one touchdown. He worked hard in the offseason and was […]

O.J. Howard Fails To Produce On Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard finished with just 32 yards on four receptions during the loss to the 49ers on Sunday. While most of the team outside of Chris Godwin failed to get anything going, Howard was another victim to a smothering 49ers Defense that finished with two scores off of interceptions. With […]

Chris Godwin Scores On Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin finished with three receptions for 53 yards and a touchdown during the Week 1 matchup with San Francisco. With Mike Evans, who finished with just two receptions for 28 yards, likely dealing with the lingering effects of the flu that almost didn’t allow him to play, Godwin was […]

Mike Evans Quiet In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was quiet during the Week 1 matchup with the 49ers. Evans, who was battling the flu and was a potential scratch on Sunday, managed to suit up but finished with just 28 yards on two receptions (five targets). With a few more days of rest coming up to […]

Peyton Barber Plays Second Fiddle On Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber ran for just 33 yards on eight carries against the 49ers Defense on Sunday. As expected, Barber saw less action than Ronald Jones II, who finished with 75 yards on 13 attempts while Dare Ogunbowale served in a James White type role by pulling in four receptions for […]

Ronald Jones II Leads Rushing Attack

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II led the team in rushing against the 49ers Defense, finishing the day with 75 yards on 13 carries. As expected, the team bolstered a committee approach on Sunday, with quasi-backup Peyton Barber running for 33 yards on eight carries and Dare Ogunbowale hauling in four receptions (five […]

Jameis Winston Struggles In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston struggled during the Week 1 encounter against San Francisco. Winston threw for 194 yards and a touchdown, but tossed three interceptions, with two of them being returned for scores by the smothering 49ers Defense. With Bruce Arians now calling the shots in Tampa, Winston’s fantasy expectations were high coming […]

Devin White Dealing With Tonsilitis

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie linebacker Devin White (illness) has been dealing with tonsilitis and not the flu bug, according to head coach Bruce Arians. White played through the illness in his NFL debut against the 49ers in Week 1 and finished with five solo tackles. White is an incredibly talented linebacker and should make noise […]

Mike Evans, Devin White Will Play Against 49ers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (illness) and rookie linebacker Devin White (illness), who were both listed as questionable, will play in Week 1 against the 49ers, according to sources. In a projected shootout with San Francisco, Evans is an elite WR1 for fantasy owners this weekend. White has the chance to be one […]

Breshad Perriman Could Take Over DeSean Jackson Role

With DeSean Jackson back in Philadelphia, Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman steps into the WR3 role. Although Jackson is significantly more talented, Perriman can pass as a burner option at WR and maybe make a few plays this season. He is largely viewed as a bust due to his underperformance in Baltimore along with his […]

Peyton Barber Best Left on Bench

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber is basically a lame-duck running back waiting to get replaced. He is the incumbent starter by default due to Ronald Jones II's atrocious rookie year but now faces a more motivated Jones II and potential breakout RB Dare Ogunbowale. Ogunbowale likely sees plenty of third-down work and two-minute drills, while […]

Chris Godwin a Must-Start in Week 1

Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has had an electric preseason and training camp. His name was thrown in every sleeper article imaginable and his slot role in the offense is one that has typically seen success under Bruce Arians. All the stars are seemingly aligning for Godwin to breakout in 2019. What better way to […]

Mike Evans Anticipated To Suit Up In Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (illness) is likely to play in Week 1 against San Francisco. Evans did not practice on Friday after coming down with the flu; however, he is apparently well enough to go and draws a favorable matchup against the 49ers Defense on Sunday. He is a must-start in all […]

Ronald Jones II is a Risky Start for Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II is in a timeshare/running-back-by-committee for the foreseeable future and should be benched in most leagues against the 49ers. Although the matchup is awesome and could present a breakout opportunity for the second-year RB, he just is not guaranteed enough touches to warrant taking on the risk outside […]

Devin White Questionable For Buccaneers Defense

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie linebacker Devin White (illness) has been added to the Week 1 injury report and is questionable to play on Sunday against the 49ers. White is expected to have an immediate presence in the middle of Tampa's defense and has been a popular name thrown around as a Defensive Rookie of the […]

Reality Check: Why Your RB Sleepers Won't Wake Up

"Embrace reality, even if it burns you." - Pierre Berge This quote is ironic for a couple of reasons. First of all, this is a column about fantasy sports. Fantasy - the very definition reads, "the power or process of creating especially unrealistic or improbable mental images in response to psychological need." An escape from […]
