DeSean Jackson Practicing With Brace

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) is practicing on a limited basis and while wearing a small brace on his left thumb on Wednesday.

The myth that using all of your FAAB early will hurt you toward the end of the season. We’ve all heard it many times before from analysts, league mates, the voice in our heads. What are you saving that FAAB for? I’ve even written about using your FAAB early if you have a losing record […]

Week 13 Quarterbacks - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

We've got some exciting options still on waivers this week, as a few potentially league-winning quarterbacks are still available in far too many leagues.

DeSean Jackson Sees Hand Specialist

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said that wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hand) saw a local hand specialist in Tampa and is headed to New York for a second opinion. It might help explain why he caught just three of his eight targets for only 19 yards in Week 12 against the Niners. D-Jax […]

Peyton Barber Shows Signs of Life on Sunday

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber found the end zone once again as he wrangled himself another decent fantasy outing. Barber rushed 18 times for 47 yards, caught two passes for 16 yards to go along with his touchdown, rewarding any brave owner who dared trek into starting him. Barber is an RB3 with minimal upside […]

Cameron Brate Finds End Zone Against 49ers

Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate became fantasy relevant once again due to O.J. Howard's leg injury. His bump in usage came immediately as he was able to score and add 24 yards on three catches Sunday against the 49ers. Brate is a talented TE who was buried on the depth chart by an even more […]

Adam Humphries Continues to Establish Himself

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries is approaching low-end WR2 value with his recent stretch of games. Humphries was the least noteworthy Tampa Bay pass-catcher coming into this season but now seems like one of the two most relevant. He ended Week 12 with six catches, 54 yards, and a touchdown. This was his […]

Mike Evans Cracks 100 Receiving Yards Again

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has had back-to-back solid outings. With 116 yards on six catches, Evans allowed concerned owners to breathe a sigh of relief knowing that last weekend's blow-up wasn't a fluke given his month-long skid earlier. Evans remains a top-tier WR option for owners and should continue to produce with Jameis Winston […]

Ronald Jones II Still Inactive

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ronald Jones II (hamstring) is inactive for Week 12 against the 49ers.

DeSean Jackson Playing In Week 12

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) is active for Week 12 against the 49ers. D-Jax hasn't scored since Oct. 28 and hasn't gone over 100 yards since Sept. 30 against the Bears.
