Week 16 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

You've made it! Week 16 is the championship round in most leagues, though don't worry if you have a Week 17 title game, because I'll be here to help you out with that! Who should you avoid in your fantasy lineups? Let's go over 10 players who scare me for various reason, plus take a […]

Week 16 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

Another two Saturday games this week so make sure you have those lineups set. It would be criminal to lose your final because you forget about those two games until it is too late! This week is all about trusting your gut if you are in the championship game. If you got here you have […]

Adam Humphries Could Be Flexed This Weekend

Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries has some flex appeal against the Cowboys. Dallas has a slight weakness in the slot and the Buccaneers could exploit it this weekend. Humphries has been the Bucs' most reliable WR over the past two months despite skidding recently. He's an okay start in PPR leagues and can be avoided […]

DeSean Jackson and Chris Godwin Should Be Benched in Week 16

Buccaneers wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Chris Godwin should not be started against the Cowboys this Sunday. With Jackson healthy, Godwin's target share is likely to take a hit. Jackson already is fairly boom-or-bust and could go off this weekend as he typically does against his ex-rival Cowboys, but just coming off an injury, he […]

Mike Evans a Start Despite Matchup

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is a native of Dallas and gets to play back home for the second time in his professional career. This is not some guarantee that he will perform well (as he was fairly mediocre there in 2016), but with the current state of skill players in Week 16, it's doubtful […]

Jameis Winston a Risky Start this Week

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is a tough sell as a starter this weekend against the Cowboys. Although Andrew Luck seemed to rip through their defense last weekend, he didn't even manage double-digit fantasy points while at home. Winston heads into Dallas to face one of the hottest defenses in the league that is playing for […]

DeSean Jackson Will Be Active Against Cowboys

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said that wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) will be active in Week 16 against the Cowboys after missing the last three games. It's a tough matchup to return to, and D-Jax has mostly been a bust as a WR4/5 for fantasy owners this year. All three of his […]

DeSean Jackson Practices In Full

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) practiced in full on Thursday. D-Jax hasn't played since Nov. 25 against the 49ers and couldn't squeeze a football as recently as last week, but he looks to be on track to return in Week 16 against the Cowboys. His return would hurt the upside of both […]

DeSean Jackson Hopes To Play Against Cowboys

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) is hopeful of playing in Week 16 against the Cowboys despite missing the last three games with a left thumb injury. D-Jax hasn't practiced since his injury and hasn't been able to even squeeze a football in recent weeks. Even if he returns, he'll be more of […]

Chris Godwin Puts Up Another Dud

Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has been an absolute disappointment these past two weeks. He was supposed to step up with DeSean Jackson out due to the increase in target share but that has not resulted in any production. Over his past two games, Godwin has 13 targets, one catch, and 10 yards. That's it. […]

Mike Evans Salvages Day With One Huge Catch

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has been a disappointment in the second half of the season but had one of his better outings in Week 15. A 64-yard catch in the middle of the game saved his line for the day as he only managed four catches for 121 yards on nine targets. This was […]

Jameis Winston Underperforms in Wet Conditions

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston had a tough time passing the ball in Week 15. The weather along with a tough Ravens defense held Winston to just 157 yards with no touchdowns and a pick. This was Winston's worst matchup and performance since the Bears' game earlier in the year. Winston's next matchup in Dallas will […]

Peyton Barber Scores TD in Week 15

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber had one of his better rushing games of the season versus the Ravens in Week 15. Barber rushed 19 times for 85 yards and a touchdown in the 20-12 loss. This was a nice game for Barber, but he hasn't been reliable in fantasy football this season. Fantasy […]

Adam Humphries Grabs Four Receptions in Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries had a fairly rough day from a fantasy perspective, but tied with the team-high in receptions during Week 15. Humphries caught four of his six targets for 23 yards in the 20-12 loss to the Ravens. Quarterback Jameis Winston was only able to connect on 13 passes, so […]

Cameron Brate Held to One Reception

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate was held in check by the Ravens in Week 15. Brate caught one of his two targets for nine yards in the 20-12 loss to Baltimore. Brate remains a touchdown-dependent fantasy option that is difficult to trust in most leagues. He should be considered a TE2 versus the […]

Week 15 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

The Carolina Panthers (6-7) looked like a lock to make their second-straight postseason appearance a little over a month ago, but have since lost five-straight games and now find themselves outside of the club arguing with the bouncer over how they belong on the guest list. But, aren't. Conversely, the New Orleans Saints (11-2) have […]
