Mitch Trubisky (QB, CHI) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky (fantasy-wise) has been stellar the past four weeks - and with the weapons currently available to him, there's no reason to believe that he can't keep putting up at solid performances. His biggest limitation is himself, but as long as […]

Peyton Barber Runs Well Sunday

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber had his second good game of the season Sunday against Cincinnati. Barber ran for 85 yards on 19 carries and managed to punch one in for a score. This comes after Barber had been limited in practice due to an ankle injury during the week which some thought might affect […]

Jameis Winston Stumbles, Ryan Fitzpatrick Shines

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston was benched Sunday after throwing his fourth interception of the game. Coach Dirk Koetter opted for veteran QB Ryan Fitzpatrick to take over under center and he was as effective as he could be in limited playing time. Fitzpatrick led the Bucs to three scoring drives in four attempts and got […]

DeSean Jackson Shows Out for Potential Suitors Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson has been mentioned in the news recently due to a reported trade request. Sunday's game against Cincinnati helped boost his value after he caught his first deep touchdown since Week 2. He finished the day off with three catches on eight targets for 68 yards an a TD. Similarly to […]

Mike Evans Scores for First Time in October

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans had only reached the end zone this season while quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has thrown to him. Evans caught a 72-yard bomb from Fitzpatrick in the second half of Sunday's game after Jameis Winston's benching. Evans had a decent day with Winston up until Fitzpatrick showed up but he just went […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 8 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 […]

Buccaneers Defense Riddled With Injuries Up Front

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be missing star defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and free-agent signee Vinny Curry this coming Sunday against the Bengals. The pair was out last week against Kansas City as well and that front seven was gashed by Kareem Hunt. This situation puts Joe Mixon squarely in play as a high-end RB1 […]

Peyton Barber Has Opportunity Against Bengals

The Bengals' defense has not been good this season and they are now missing their top two linebackers Sunday against the Buccaneers. Running back Peyton Barber is officially listed as healthy after dealing with an ankle injury throughout the week, as a result, he should continue to carry the bulk of the backfield work. Barber […]

O.J. Howard a Strong Play Against Cincinnati

Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard is in play as a TE1 Sunday in Cincinnati. Howard has been excellent all season long and will look to continue his breakout season Sunday. The former first-round pick will be facing a Bengals defense that is missing its two top linebackers, Nick Vigil and Vontaze Burfict. Howard might even […]

DeSean Jackson, Chris Godwin Remain Flex Options

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Chris Godwin are every-week flex plays given their production throughout the season thus far. Jackson started off the year scorching but has come back down in recent weeks. Godwin has been a consistent threat throughout the year to get a few catches, 50 yards, and a touchdown. […]

Mike Evans a Low-End WR1 Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has been much better this year than in 2017. He is making plays all over the field and proving that he is more than just a tall receiver. This Sunday in Cincinnati, he will have another chance to show out but conditions will be tough. Evans will likely line up […]

Jameis Winston a Good Start for Week 8

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston finds himself in QB1 territory this Sunday in Cincinnati. The Bengals defense has been exposable all season long and despite the lack of a solid rushing attack, the Bucs should pose a formidable threat. Winston has posted consecutive QB1 performances against the Browns and Falcons, therefore, it is fair to assume […]

Peyton Barber Picks Up Ankle Injury

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber (ankle) is reportedly dealing with an ankle injury he picked up during Sunday's game against the Browns. Coach Koetter confirmed it but did not disclose the severity. An injury report will be put out Wednesday that should be closely monitored in case Barber doesn't practice. If he were to miss […]

O.J. Howard Takes Stranglehold Over TE1 Role in Tampa

Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard can officially claim his throne as the Bucs' TE1. Jameis Winston has shown plenty of favor to Cameron Brate these past few years but with Howard, the former first-round pick, playing the way he has, it's been hard to ignore. Howard was targeted nine times on Sunday and was looked […]

Chris Godwin Continues to Produce Flex-Worthy Numbers

With five catches for 59 yards, Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin continues to show that he is worthy of a start in PPR leagues. Godwin has been receiving consistent targets every week with several coming in the red zone. He is capable of putting up WR2 numbers while only being on the field sparingly. He […]

DeSean Jackson Scores First Rushing Touchdown Since 2010

Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson scored the first touchdown of the game for Tampa Sunday against Cleveland. Jackson took the ball 14 yards to the end zone in the first quarter and unfortunately didn't see the ball much until later in the game. With just two catches for 25 yards, D-Jax wasn't too involved in […]

Mike Evans Breaks 100 Yards Against Cleveland

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans cracked 100 yards receiving Sunday against the Browns. This marks Evans' first time accomplishing the feat this season with Jameis Winston at quarterback (his third time overall). Evans ended the day with seven catches on 11 targets for 107 yards which is a pretty good outing from the Bucs' WR1. […]

Jameis Winston Good Enough Sunday

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston provided an inefficient yet effective fantasy line Sunday against Cleveland. With 365 yards passing and 55 rushing, Winston provided a solid yardage base for his point total while his two interceptions and lost fumble were essentially negated by a rushing TD (his lone score of the day). The Buccaneers ran the […]

Keep Peyton Barber Benched Against Cleveland

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber has been extremely unreliable this season. Despite getting the most snaps in the backfield, he has failed to produce all year up until last week. Barber only went off because Atlanta's defense has been exposable by running backs all season due to the barrage of injuries that have hit. Barber […]

DeSean Jackson,Chris Godwin Both Flex Options Sunday

Buccaneers wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Chris Godwin are both starting options this weekend against Cleveland. The Browns will be without cornerback E.J. Gaines and talented coverage linebacker Joe Schobert against Tampa, leaving their defense exposed to the pass. Jackson and Godwin share targets pretty evenly so they will both have their opportunities to produce […]

O.J. Howard in Play as TE1 Sunday

Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard has been cementing himself in TE1 territory all year long with his various double-digit point games. This Sunday against Cleveland, he will have an opportunity to continue that trend as they will be short at linebacker and likely focusing their coverage on the talented Bucs' wide receivers. Howard is a […]

Mike Evans Likely To See a Lot of Denzel Ward Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is always a start given his elite status but he will have a tough matchup this weekend against rookie cornerback Denzel Ward. Evans massive height gives him a natural advantage over the undersized Ward but he will have a difficult time getting separation. Back-to-back duds by Evans shouldn't discourage his […]

Jameis Winston a Decent Starting Option Sunday

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is in play this weekend as a solid starting option. The Browns/Bucs game total has risen from 48 to 51 signifying that there should be some solid scoring going on in Tampa. The Browns have effectively shut opposing quarterbacks down at home this season but have been vulnerable on the road. […]

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 the premiere of a new face in a Lakers' uniform and it sure did not disappoint (unless you're a Lakers fan). The King did King things while Chicago and Philadelphia […]

Keke Coutee (WR, HOU) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Houston's receivers had a rough game Sunday against Buffalo. Will Fuller V was held to just two catches as he continues to progress from an injured hamstring, DeAndre Hopkins had just 63 yards on five catches and Keke Coutee finished with three catches for 33 yards. This […]

DeSean Jackson Solid in Loss Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson was heavily involved in the offense Sunday despite only finishing with four catches for 77 yards. Jackson was targeted nine times and had a chance to end the game off a lateral near the sidelines but failed to reel the ball in off the ground. This game was the most […]

Chris Godwin Bounces Back Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin scored his fourth touchdown of the season Sunday in Atlanta. Despite typically playing in just half of the Bucs' offensive snaps since Week 2, Godwin has been productive. Yesterday, he ended up with six catches on nine targets for 56 yards and a score. Both Ryan Fitzpatrick and Jameis Winston […]

Mike Evans' Production Dips Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans had a mediocre day Sunday in Atlanta with just 58 yards on four catches. The de facto WR1 in Tampa Bay has not had a WR1-esque game since Week 3 and owners may start to get a little concerned. Could Jameis Winston's return be having a negative effect of Mike […]
