According to Adam Schefter, Buccaneers tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins is expected to play after missing the last nine games with a shoulder injury. With Seferian-Jenkins back in the lineup, Cameron Brate can be relegated back to the waiver wire. Seferian-Jenkins may be a tough play in fantasy leagues as it is unclear how much he will play, but he does make for an intriguing DFS GPP play as he is near the minimum price on some sites.
The presence of Seferian-Jenkins is good news for Jameis Winston as his projections are slightly increased. Wide receivers Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson may lose a couple of targets, but projection changes are minimal for them. The Falcons have allowed the 2nd fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks and wide receivers, so this looks like it could be a big day for running back Doug Martin against a defense that has allowed the 4th most fantasy points to running backs. Also according to Adam Schefter, Michael Floyd is expected to play against the Rams despite being questionable with a hamstring injury.
With Floyd playing, it is a bump up for Carson Palmer and a bump down for John Brown. The Rams have been a tough matchup for quarterbacks and wide receivers as they have allowed the 4th fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks and 3rd fewest fantasy points to wide receivers. According to Ian Rapaport, Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola will play today in their matchup against the Eagles. With Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman out, Danny Amendola should see plenty of targets against an Eagles defense that has allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers,
Aside from Amendola, Scott Chandler is likely the secondary passing option in the Patriots offense. According to Adam Schefter, the Bengals will be without tight end Tyler Eifert after he suffered a neck stinger last week. Rookie tight end Tyler Kroft will step in to the #1 tight end position for the Bengals, while you aren't playing him in your fantasy leagues, this is a chance to get a better look at him for keeper and dynasty league purposes. With Eifert out of the lineup, quarterback Andy Dalton is without his best red zone target who leads the NFL in receiving touchdowns with 12. It is a bump down for Dalton, but wide receiver AJ Green and Marvin Jones will both see a few extra targets with a better shot at being targeted in the red zone.
