O.J. Howard Finishes With One Reception

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard completely disappeared in the 16-3 loss to the Redskins in Week 10. He caught one pass for 15 yards and did absolutely nothing for the rest of the game. Both Howard and Cameron Brate finished with two total receptions. Howard had caught at least four passes in the […]

Mike Evans is Quiet in Week 10

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was quiet for the second straight week as the Redskins pass defense held him in check. Evans caught three passes for 51 yards in the 16-3 loss to Washington. He saw six targets, but was not able to do much at all. The Bucs totaled almost 500 yards […]

DeSean Jackson is Targeted Eight Times in Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson was not able to do much with his chances in the 16-3 loss to the Redskins. Jackson was targeted eight times, but only managed five receptions for 67 yards. Jackson doesn't have the same fantasy value that he once did earlier in the season. He's a touchdown dependent […]

Chris Godwin Plays Well in Week 10

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin went over 100 receiving yards for the first time this season in the 16-3 loss to the Redskins. Godwin caught all seven of his targets for 103 yards, but did not score. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick targeted Godwin in the end zone, but it was intercepted. It did not […]

Jacquizz Rodgers Goes Over 100 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Jacquizz Rodgers was oddly reliable in the Bucs 16-3 loss to the Redskins. Rodgers rushed only once for no gain, but caught eight passes for 102 yards. He saw a team-high eight targets as the third down back behind Peyton Barber. Rodgers did fumble once which ended up hurting the […]

Peyton Barber Finds Little Room to Run in Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber was not able to get much going on the ground against the Redskins in Week 10. Barber rushed 13 times for 61 yards, but failed to find the end zone. Barber had a few nice runs for 10 or more yards, but basically did nothing after that. Fantasy […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Throws For 400 Yards in Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick had no trouble moving the ball on offense, but failed to capitalize when it mattered most. Fitzpatrick finished 29-for-41 with 406 passing yards and zero touchdowns with two interceptions. He also rushed for 35 yards on eight attempts. Fitzpatrick fumbled on 2nd and goal and threw one of his […]

Ronald Jones II Out Again In Week 10

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (hamstring) will miss Sunday's meeting against the Washington Redskins. The rookie spent the early part of the year as a healthy inactive and now is dealing with this hamstring issue, which has made his rookie season into a tough one for Tampa Bay. Expect Peyton Barber to […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 10) - Targets and Avoids

Hard to believe we are already in Week 10. The season is flying by and it's sad to that there are only eight weeks left. Last week, the big favorites took care of business. Each team favored by five or more won. In terms of the spread, underdogs went 7-6. With nearly all participants in […]

Week 10 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

The NFL season continues to tick along, and as we reach the first week of the season that has two numbers inside of one number in its name, we start to reach panic mode for some fantasy owners. You're sitting at 3-6 and you know another loss dooms you, and you can't risk putting someone […]

Week 10 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

I cannot believe it is Week 10 already! This season has flown by and things in the NFL are starting to settle down. The good teams are really starting to distinguish from bad and the pretenders are falling away a little bit. The same goes for the players in the consistency ratings. The best running […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 10

Fantasy footballers are going to have to live without some things this upcoming week. Fantasy football owners will not get a 100-yard receiving game out of Minnesota’s Adam Thielen, a touchdown toss from Houston’s Deshaun Watson, or a sack out courtesy of Denver’s Von Miller this week. That is because those fantasy superstars’ teams are […]

O.J. Howard is Elite Option in Week 10

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard has five touchdowns on the season and has scored three of them in the last two weeks. Howard has quickly turned himself into one of the most productive fantasy tight ends. He's heading into a matchup against the Redskins who rank average in terms of passing defense. Howard […]

Peyton Barber is Shaky RB2 Against Redskins

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber (ankle) has been limited in practice this week, but is fully expected to play in Sunday's game against the Redskins. However, Barber has not done much of anything this season. He has 422 yards from scrimmage and is almost impossible to trust in fantasy leagues. The Bucs main […]

Rebuilding Your Dynasty Franchise Through the Trade Market

I have six fantasy leagues. When I get asked my co-workers and friends like clockwork on Monday how I did each weekend in fantasy, my answer is almost always 5-1, or 4-2. Sure, I've had a week or two where I've gotten to say "undefeated" casually while I pour the coffee into my cup without looking, super […]

Rookie Running Back Overview, ROS Outlook

It's been said before and I'll say it again - rookie running backs can play a very significant role when it comes to fantasy fortunes. Kareem Hunt (2017) and Ezekiel Elliot (2016) are the recent examples, while the Saquon Barkley breakout of 2018 has taken absolutely no one by surprise. Prior to this season, I […]

Adam Humphries, Chris Godwin Low-End WR3s for Sunday

Buccaneers wide receivers Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries are not the best starting options this coming Sunday but could be in play if you are desperate at the position. Bye weeks often ravage teams this late in the season and sometimes all you're left with is a waiver wire pick up or someone like Godwin […]

Flex DeSean Jackson on Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson is in his usual flex territory this coming Sunday against Washington. The Redskins gave up a few big plays to the Falcons last weekend, and although they might be more careful going forward, it's still possible for D-Jax to go off. Jackson is typically boom-or-bust and he should be started […]

Mike Evans Looks to Bounce Back Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans will likely see plenty of Josh Norman this Sunday. Tampa is hosting Washington this weekend and they are both in desperate need of a win. Evans is coming off of one of his worst games ever last weekend against Carolina and this Sunday will not be easy to make up […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick's Ceiling Lower in Week 10

Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has been money (fantasy-wise) when he's played this season. The veteran QB has utilized the deep-ball extremely well in targeting his talented receivers in high-scoring affairs throughout the year. Unfortunately, this week against the Redskins, he might not be as potent. The Redskins defense is not one of the best, however, […]

Mike Evans Returns To Practice Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (knee) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. The Buccaneers were just resting him ahead of Week 10 against the Redskins. Evans caught just one of his 10 targets last week in his worst game of the season by far. Expect him to bounce back […]

WR Target and Snap Count Risers from Week 9

Your wide receivers remain essential components toward accomplishing your unwavering goal of securing a league championship. As the season unfolds, it is crucial for you to utilize the tools that you have available, in order to maintain an extensive level of knowledge regarding the number of opportunities that are being provided to your wide receivers […]

Mike Evans, Ronald Jones II Miss Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (knee) and rookie running back Ronald Jones II (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Evans also sat out early last week in practice but played and disappointed in Week 9 with just one catch for 16 yards on 10 targets. He's had double-digit targets in each of the […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 10

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.
