Jameis Winston Performs Well For Fantasy Purposes
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston had a very solid fantasy stat line Sunday against New Orleans. With 213 passing yards, 47 rushing, two touchdowns, and just one interception, Winston put up over 20 fantasy points in most, if not all leagues. Although the Bucs' offense faltered in the second half of the game, Winston... Read More
RotoBaller NBA Recap: Derrick Favors the Bench
Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's slate of NBA games. Thursday night featured a typical short slate of games. This week was quite underwhelming with three blowout wins for Boston, Portland, and Utah. With so many fantasy irrelevant bench players playing, most of... Read More
Chris Godwin in Play as a Starter Against Saints
Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is not a bad option to start for Week 14. Of course you would traditionally want someone a little more reliable in your starting lineup come playoff time, however, Godwin has been eating with DeSean Jackson absent. Godwin has put up 310 yards and two touchdowns in the three games... Read More
Adam Humphries Has Big Upside This Week
Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries has emerged out of nowhere these past two months. Humphries has been a top-10 WR since Week 8. It's astonishing given the talent that was present in that Buccaneers receiving core but now it's to be expected with the absence of O.J. Howard and DeSean Jackson. Humphries has been a... Read More
Jameis Winston Faces Stout Saints Sunday
Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston has his toughest test since Chicago coming up. The New Orleans' defense has been revamped since they first played Tampa. Marcus Davenport, Sheldon Rankins and the rest of them have gotten better as the season's progressed. Winston did not have the opportunity to play New Orleans in Week 1 due to... Read More
Mike Evans Looks to Repeat Week 1 Performance on Sunday
Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was stellar in the first game of the season against New Orleans. The stud WR1 scored over 20 fantasy points and caught all seven targets that came his way. Unfortunately, circumstances are different this weekend. The game will not be played in a dome, Ryan Fitzpatrick will not be slinging... Read More
FAAB Bidding - Week 14 Waiver Wire Targets
As an addendum to our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, in this column we also present suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much... Read More
Adam Humphries Goes Off Once More
Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries has been fantastic over the past two months. He is putting up top-10 PPR numbers on a weekly basis and it is probably the biggest surprise of the year. Humphries caught seven passes on nine targets for 67 yards and a touchdown. He has settled in as a reliable every-week... Read More
Peyton Barber Finds End Zone Sunday
Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber was serviceable Sunday against Carolina. With 45 yards and a touchdown, Barber had himself a low-end RB2 day. The only issue was his fumble at the goal-line. Barber was a sit for me this week but ended up being productive-ish. Barber is just so hard to trust but with the... Read More
Mike Evans Lackluster Against Panthers Again
Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans had another dud outing against the Panthers. It seems as if they just have his number. Evans caught four passes on six targets for 48 yards. Much better than his prior one catch, 16-yard outing but still disappointing. Evans has an opportunity to make up for this performance next week... Read More
Jameis Winston Balls Out Sunday
Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston had another great outing in Week 13. Winston threw for 249 yards and two touchdowns with no picks while adding 48 yards rushing. This was just Winston's third QB1 performance of the season but it's hopefully a sign of things to come. The Buccaneers' QB has been rough to rely on... Read More
Tampa Bay's Defense Will be Ravaged on Sunday
The Buccaneers defense is bad. The Panthers' offense is good. The Panthers strengths are the Bucs' biggest weakness. Not only does Carolina have shifty receivers who can move all around the field, but their backfield tandem of Christian McCaffrey and Cam Newton are also individually capable of rushing for over 100 yards against them. Newton... Read More
Peyton Barber Belongs on the Bench Against Panthers
The Panthers boast a top-10 rush defense and prove to be troublesome for Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber. Barber has taken advantage of some great matchups in recent weeks like San Francisco and the Giants but will have his hands full at the line of scrimmage this weekend. Barber is a touchdown-dependent RB3 and should... Read More
Cameron Brate Has Best Matchup of Season in Week 13
Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate is in play across all leagues this Sunday. The Carolina Panthers have allowed the most fantasy points to tight ends this season and with the absence of O.J. Howard, Brate should eat. This game is bound to be won through the air and Tampa Bay leads the league in air... Read More
Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries in Line for More Targets Sunday
Buccaneers wide receivers Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries should be the beneficiaries of DeSean Jackson's absence this coming Sunday. Jackson (thumb) is dealing with a hand injury and could miss an extended period of time meaning more targets for Godwin and Humphries. Humphries has already had an extraordinary stretch of games in recent weeks while... Read More
Jameis Winston Hopes For Another Positive Outing Sunday
Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston was stellar last weekend against the 49ers. The only problem is that it was against the 49ers who might be the worst team in the NFL. Winston has an opportunity to make a case for himself as a franchise QB this Sunday against the Panthers if he plays well. The Panthers... Read More
Mike Evans Will Redeem Himself Against Carolina
The last time Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans faced the Panthers, he was targeted 10 times and caught just one pass for 16 yards. That is unacceptable for a player his size with his skills. It's essentially unfathomable and should be noted as an outlier on his stat sheet. There is nowhere to go but up... Read More
RotoBaller NBA Recap: KD Lights Up the Six
Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's slate of NBA games. Thursday night featured a typical short slate of games with Toronto vs Golden State as the premier game of the. Although Golden State was down to just two all-stars for the night, the... Read More
Josh Donaldson's Value in Atlanta
The Bringer of Rain™ is taking his talents to the Dirty South™. The question on everyone's mind for the next few months should be how to value the 32-year old slugger who has struggled staying on the field these past two years. There's no way to know whether his lingering calf issue is behind him.... Read More
FAAB Bidding - Week 13 Waiver Wire Targets
As an addendum to our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, in this column we also present suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much... Read More
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... Read More
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... Read 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... Read More
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... Read More
Jameis Winston Shines Against Lowly 49ers
Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston played as well as anyone could ask of him in Week 12. Although the competition wasn't exactly stiff, he instilled hope by starting and finishing the game. Winston racked up 312 passing yards, 24 rushing yards, and two touchdowns Sunday and will look to keep up the good work next week... Read More
DeSean Jackson a Boom-or-Bust Flex Option for Week 12
Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson has been fairly quiet these past few weeks. However, knowing his track record, it is impossible to forget that he could go off any given Sunday. Jackson is due for a big game and this matchup against the lowly 49ers might be the perfect opportunity to shine. If your team... Read More
Mike Evans Should Stay Hot This Weekend
Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is a must-start per usual for Week 12. Evans had his best game in nearly a month last weekend and is primed for another great outing on Sunday. The 49ers are extremely weak in the secondary (outside of Richard Sherman's side) and should continually be exposed by the talented Buccaneers... Read More
Jameis Winston a Strong Start for Week 12
Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is one of the better options at QB this coming Sunday against San Francisco. Winston has had a tumultuous season to date with a suspension and mid-game benching but he seems to be back on track. Last weekend against the Giants, Winston filled up the stat-sheet in the second half and... Read More
O.J. Howard Out For Season
Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve due to foot and ankle injuries. This comes as a shock to most given that the initial diagnosis was fairly positive. Howard's second opinion today was only seen as precautionary but ended up in the bleakest manner. The stud sophomore TE was having... Read More
FAAB Biding: Week 12 Waiver Wire Adds
