Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 18? Breece Hall, Bucky Irving, Joe Mixon

Fantasy managers playing in Week 18 championships are going to have to make some tough lineup decisions this week. With several teams choosing to sit key players in the final week of the season, some stars might not be available to start this weekend.  In this article, we'll determine if Breece Hall, Bucky Irving, and […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 18? Jalen McMillan, Adam Thielen, Jameson Williams

While the majority of fantasy leagues held their title games last week, there are plenty still playing for the top prize in Week 18. It’s important to finish the season on a strong note! Wide receivers are always essential to any championship team, especially in PPR leagues. Picking the right receivers can give your team […]

Buccaneers D/ST Has Favorable Matchup In Week 18

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense has struggled at times, but they've been playing better lately. Last week, the Bucs defense recorded five sacks and allowed only 14 points in the win over the Carolina Panthers. This team will get another favorable matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 18. The Saints are banged up […]

Chase McLaughlin Has Solid Streaming Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin was extremely busy during last week's win over the Carolina Panthers. McLaughlin made eight kicks during that game, including six extra points. McLaughlin has been one of the better kicking options this season with only four misses heading into Week 18. He figures to continue having success in a […]

Payne Durham Should Remain Involved

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Payne Durham (quad) is good to go ahead of Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Durham has been asked to start in each of the last two games with Cade Otton (knee) sidelined. That is likely going to be the case once again this weekend, so Durham […]

Jalen McMillan Looks To Keep Touchdown Streak Alive

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan has stepped up and delivered for this offense over the last few weeks. The rookie wideout came alive in Week 14 and hasn't looked back since then. McMillan now carries a four-game touchdown streak into the Week 18 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The 23-year-old has also […]

Mike Evans Looks To Make History

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans will look to make history during Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. The veteran wideout needs 85 yards to tie Jerry Rice's record of 11 straight sessions with 1,000 receiving yards. In addition, Evans will earn a $3 million incentive if he hauls in at least five […]

Rachaad White Likely To Have Reduced Role

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has seen his role on offense diminish over the last few weeks. In fact, White has only rushed the ball nine times over the last two games. Luckily for fantasy managers, White has remained involved in the passing attack with eight receptions for 54 yards over that span. […]

Bucky Irving Has RB1 Value For Week 18

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (shoulder, shin) is coming off another solid performance during last week's win over the Carolina Panthers. The rookie back is dealing with a pair of injuries, but that didn't impact his performance on the field. Irving rushed 20 times for 113 yards while hauling in all four of […]

Baker Mayfield Remains Elite Option For Week 18

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off a stellar performance against the Carolina Panthers last week. Mayfield threw for 359 yards with five touchdowns and zero interceptions in the blowout win last weekend. The 29-year-old now looks to end his 2024-2025 regular season on a high note with a plus-matchup against the New […]

Sterling Shepard Considered Questionable For Week 18

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to play in a must-win game in the Week 18 regular-season finale versus the division-rival New Orleans Saints. Shepard was inactive for the team's Week 17 win over the division-rival Carolina Panthers but is hoping to […]

Cade Otton Doubtful To Play On Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton (knee) is now being considered doubtful to play in the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival New Orleans Saints after it was reported earlier on Friday that he would be a game-time decision. Otton has already missed the last two games with a knee injury […]

Antoine Winfield Jr. To Miss Another Game Against Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (knee) and cornerback Jamel Dean (knee) will not play in the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday versus the division-rival New Orleans Saints. Winfield injured his knee in the Week 14 win against the Las Vegas Raiders and hasn't played since, but he did return to practice on […]

Cade Otton To Be Game-Time Decision In Week 18

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton (knee) will be a game-time decision for the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival New Orleans Saints, according to head coach Todd Bowles. Otton has missed the last two games but returned to a limited practice on Thursday for the first time since Dec. 20, […]

Sterling Shepard Stays Limited In Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (hamstring) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday.

Devin Culp A Full Participant In Thursday's Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Devin Culp (ribs) was upgraded from a limited participant on Wednesday to a full participant on Thursday. His counterparts at tight end both went from DNP to limited participants, so Friday's practice statuses will determine a lot heading into their season finale. The rookie saw his biggest snap share of […]

Quarterback Matchups to Target in Week 18 - Baker Mayfield, Joe Flacco, Joshua Dobbs

Week 18 can get a bit tricky in DFS. While we want to target teams with something to play for regarding their playoff fate, we can't ignore the other games. This week's group of quarterbacks is a good example of targeting both types of games -- those that matter and some that don't. And we […]

Tight End Matchups to Target in Week 18 - Trey McBride, Zach Ertz, Brock Bowers, Brenton Strange

Tight ends often fly under the radar in NFL DFS, but they can be the position that separates a good lineup from a great one. As defenses focus on stopping perimeter playmakers and deep threats, tight ends are increasingly carving out significant roles, feasting on short and intermediate routes. Week 18 offers a mix of […]

Antoine Winfield Jr. Gets Back To Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (knee) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. It's nice to see Winfield back at practice considering he hasn't played since suffering a knee injury in Week 14. A limited session on Thursday indicates that Winfield has a decent chance at playing against the New Orleans Saints […]

Payne Durham Returns To Practice On Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Payne Durham (quad) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This is good news after Durham sat out to open the week due to a quad issue. Durham has seen a bigger role on offense lately with Cade Otton (knee) missing the last two games. Otton was able to […]

Sterling Shepard Remains Limited On Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (hamstring) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This marks two days in a row that Shepard has been limited after missing last week's win over the Carolina Panthers. There is a decent chance that Shepard returns this weekend, but his fantasy outlook is bleak. Rookie wideout […]

The final week of the NFL regular season has arrived. As time goes on, injury reports get longer and longer (in general) due to the nature of the game and the piling on of more tackles, hits, and falls to the ground from players at every position. At least many fantasy football managers won't have […]

Bucky Irving Stays Limited In Thursday's Practice Session

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Bucky Irving (shin, shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Irving continues to be listed on the team's injury report with various ailments, but he should be able to suit up in a must-win game in Week 18 […]
