Carson Wentz is Back! Should You Trade Him?
That headline is sure to get some wide-eyed looks and eye rolls but I'm serious. Now that he's back, should you trade Carson Wentz immediately? It's a much more legitimate idea than it sounds. It's hard to envision a scenario where the pre-injury MVP-to-be can automatically be on the block the second he returns, but […]

Welcome back to "Tape Don't Lie," the weekly column where I look at the film and the analytics of a surprising performer from the previous week and try to come to conclusions about his value moving forward!

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 3): NFL DFS Lineups
After two weeks we are getting some idea of what is maybe real and what in Week 1 was a fluke. Most importantly for DFS strategy we seem to be getting a read on how defenses are playing. We have confirmed that Kansas City's is not good and we have learnt that Pittsburgh's and New […]
Week 3 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings
Hey there RotoBallers! After another high-scoring slate of games in Week 2, you are probably looking forward to getting some lineups set for Week 3. NFL offenses have been on fire through the first two weeks of the season, especially passing offenses. This makes stacking a quarterback with his top passing game target a must […]
Brent Grimes and Vita Vea Return to Practice Thursday
Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes (groin) and defensive tackle Vita Vea (foot) participated in practice on Thursday. This is the first time all week both have practiced and it's a positive sign towards them playing on Monday against the Steelers. Grimes had been dealing with a groin issue since Week 1 and Vea has been missing […]
No Practice For Jason-Pierre Paul
Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) did not practice on Thursday. JPP missed a practice last week, too, but he wound up playing against the Eagles and recorded five tackles and a sack. His presence on the defensive line is paramount as Tampa attempts to get consistent pressure on the opposing quarterback. Slowing […]
Chris Godwin Limited In Practice
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (toe) was limited in practice on Thursday. Godwin should be fine to play in Week 3 against the Steelers on Monday night. He was talked up all preseason and training camp as a starter, but he remains third behind Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson. Godwin has eight catches […]
Ryan Fitzpatrick On Week 3 Injury Report
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (knee) was on the Week 3 injury report against the Steelers but practiced in full on Thursday. Aside from Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, Fitzpatrick has been the best quarterback in the NFL through two weeks. He has gone 48-for-61 for 819 yards, eight touchdowns and one interception. Fitz should […]

Vita Vea Back On The Practice Field
Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie defensive tackle Vita Vea (calf), the team's first-round pick, is back in pads at practice on Thursday for the first time since his injury. Vea is unlikely to return in Week 3 on Monday against the Steelers, but it's a good sign that he's progressing toward making his NFL debut. His […]
Brent Grimes Says He'll Play On Monday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes (groin) said he will return to practice on Thursday and will play in Week 3 on Monday against the Steelers for the first time this season if everything goes as planned. Tampa's secondary has been very vulnerable to begin the season, so hopefully Grimes' return can help them slow […]

Smashmouth: Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football (Week 3)
After two weeks of the regular season, we can start to figure out which teams are contenders and which ones are pretenders, doomed to pick in the top of the 2019 NFL Draft. There is a common theme with the underperformers so far: poor offensive line play. The Giants, Cardinals, Seahawks all have been awful […]

Week 3 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
Week 2 has wrapped up, and, while some kickers put up some great numbers, others kicked themselves out of a job. Through two weeks, we've seen multiple surprises at the top of the kicker scorers. Players like Chandler Catanzaro and Randy Bullock are making a name for themselves early this season. Heading into Week 3, […]
FAAB Bidding - Week 3 NFL Waiver Wire Targets
As an addendum to our famous Waiver Wire pickups list, we now present suggested percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). Below you will find our FAAB auction bidding recommendations for those playing in FAAB waiver wire leagues. As a caveat, these prices do not by any means […]
Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions
Up is down, black is white, cats and dogs are living together. Ryan Fitzpatrick is the best QB in football (OK, behind Pat Mahomes) and Blake Bortles doubled Aaron Rodgers in fantasy points this week. Also, Joe Mixon, Devonta Freeman, and Leonard Fournette are sidelined by injuries while Le'Veon Bell continues to sideline himself. Also, […]
Jameis Winston Being Sued By Uber Driver
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston, currently serving a three-game suspension, is being sued by the Arizona Uber driver who accused him of sexual assault by groping her in March of 2016. Kate P. is seeking more than $75,000 in damages. Winston hasn't been criminally charged in the incident and is unlikely to face further […]
Week 3 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
It’s time to start prepping for Week 3 waiver wire additions and I have you covered for wide receivers. As I was looking up players to add for this article, I was shocked to see some of the names that are still not at least 50% owned in fantasy leagues. A couple of them will […]
Week 3 Quarterbacks - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
We had another wild and woolly week of action in the NFL, and some big quarterback performances from unlikely sources once again in Week 2. Many owners prefer to set and forget at quarterback, but for those of us that like to play the streaming game we've got to be on top of matchups every […]
DeSean Jackson Supports Ryan Fitzpatrick
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson would support the decision to stick with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick as the starter when Jameis Winston returns from his three-game suspension. "He's been on fire right now," Jackson told NFL Network's Scott Hanson and Willie McGinest on Monday. "With the way the team is rallying behind him and […]
Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round
There's always some degree of insanity at the outset of a new football season, but 2018 feels like quite the beast in this regard. We've got players being thrust into the spotlight due to injuries and sheer force of will -- some are new names, some very familiar -- but how can you keep up […]
Deeper Sleepers Heading Into Week 3
Ryan Fitzpatrick is the leading MVP candidate. There have been two ties in two weeks. Josh Gordon is a Patriot. James Conner has more fantasy points than both Odell Beckham and Aaron Rodgers. And, although not really fantasy related, the Bills are so bad that Vontae Davis retired from football at halftime. No, this isn't […]
The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 3)
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 […]
Chris Godwin Scores Again Sunday
Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin found the end zone yet again Sunday versus Philadelphia. This is Godwin's second week in a row with a touchdown and it is showing that he has established himself as a legitimate option in a loaded Bucs' offense. Godwin is the starting outside receiver opposite Mike Evans and typically draws […]
Peyton Barber Disappoints Yet Again
Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber had another quiet game Sunday against Philadelphia. Barber finished the day with just 22 yards on 16 attempts and one catch for seven yards. While Barber's blocking is extremely valuable to the Bucs' offense, he hasn't been much of an asset fantasy-wise thus far. It's fair to blame matchups in […]
DeSean Jackson Goes Deep Again Sunday
For the second week in a row, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson took a bomb from quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to the house. In Week 1, it was a 58-yarder, in Week 2 it was 75. Jackson ended Sunday with four catches (on four targets) for 129 yards and a touchdown. There is a special […]
O.J. Howard Dazzles Sunday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard continued to shine in 2018 with a great game against the Eagles on Sunday. Howard ripped off a massive 75-yard touchdown catch-and-run which padded his stats quite nicely for the day. He finished Sunday off with three catches on four targets for 96 yards and a score. Howard […]
