Jameis Winston Delivers in Atlanta

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston was as productive as ever Sunday in Atlanta. The former first-overall pick found himself in a shootout with fellow NFC South QB Matt Ryan that was not decided until the very last second. Winston's 395 passing yards, four touchdowns (two picks), and 31 rushing yards made him the top QB from […]

Peyton Barber on Cusp of Irrelevance if He Falters in Atlanta

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber has been horrid thus far and will probably get his last chance to start or get significant carries if he doesn't have a better performance in Atlanta. Atlanta's defense is one of the worst against the run in the league (31st in DVOA), and especially exposable to running […]

Stash Ronald Jones II in Hopes of Breakout Sunday

Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II finally got a chance to see the field two weeks ago against a stout Chicago Bears defense. This week, Jones II will see an exposable Falcons defense that is missing stud defensive tackle Grady Jarrett. If he were to go off and claim the lead running back spot as […]

DeSean Jackson is an Upside WR2 Sunday in Atlanta

Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson has started 2018 off strong and faces a weak Falcons defense this Sunday. Jackson has typically been unreliable but his highs make him worth a start for owners who might need a major upside play. Winston and Jackson may not have the same chemistry Fitzpatrick and Jackson had, but they […]

Mike Evans Will Dominate Falcons Secondary Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans loves playing the Atlanta Falcons. He has scored five times in their last five matchups and continually puts up WR1 numbers against them. The Falcons are down to their second and third-string safeties, making their top corner Desmond Trufant exposable this season. Evans is a must-start every week so there […]

Jameis Winston is a QB1 Against Atlanta

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is starting for the first time this season on Sunday and he will likely want to make an impression. The fourth-year QB has been stuck at home watching Ryan Fitzpatrick do his job for most of this season and finally gets the chance to show why he was drafted first overall. […]

O.J. Howard Remains Limited Thursday, Iffy For Sunday

Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (knee) logged in another limited practice on Thursday. Howard sprained his MCL two weeks ago and was reportedly supposed to miss up to a month but has been on the practice field the past two days. If he ramps up practice tomorrow, there is a shot that he plays Sunday […]

Taylor Gabriel (WR, CHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: What went unnoticed over the first three weeks of the season was Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel and his increasing target share. From Week 1 to 3, Gabriel's targets went from 5 to 7 to 10. No one paid attention because he hadn't […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 6 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 […]

David Moore (WR, SEA) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore has seen his snap count increase in every game leading up to Sunday. There was finally production with his enhanced usage, as he jumped out the gate with two touchdowns on just three catches. The Seattle offense is […]

Curtis Samuel (WR, CAR) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel was finally healthy enough to play on Sunday and he ended up with a touchdown on one of his two receptions. Samuel showed flashes last year before breaking his ankle so,  health permitting, it's fair to assume that he […]

D.J. Moore (WR, CAR) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore has seen his involvement in the offense incrementally increase over the course of the season thus far. He received a season-high in targets on Sunday and should continue to be integrated as the year goes on. He really […]

Taywan Taylor (WR, TEN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Rishard Matthews out of the picture, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Taywan Taylor has seen his role increase significantly. His snap percentage had already been climbing over the past few weeks and it's clear that he is carving out a significant role in the offense as […]

Marcus Mariota Looks to Stay Sharp Against Buffalo

Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota looked alive and well last week against Philadelphia. There was no sign of him elbow being an issue as he played every single snap for the first time this season and helped lead his team to an overtime victory over the defending champions. As long as Mariota's healthy, he will continue […]

Dion Lewis Has Some Flex Appeal Sunday

Titans running back Dion Lewis has out-snapped backfield mate Derrick Henry in three of four games this season. Lewis is the team's primary receiving back and has outscored Henry on the year. While his ceiling is at best that of an RB2, it's fair to say that this Sunday in Buffalo, Lewis will have a […]

Derrick Henry Might Have a Decent Game in Buffalo

Titans running back Derrick Henry has been a disappointment this season. After the departure of DeMarco Murray in the offseason, the expectation was for Henry to become the backfield's bell-cow. Henry showed flashes last season that set up some reasonable expectations, but with the addition of Dion Lewis those flamed out fairly quickly. The Titans […]

Taywan Taylor Ready For More Work Sunday

Titans wide receiver Taywan Taylor has seen his snap count incrementally rise in every game this year. With the release of Rishard Matthews a week ago, Taylor is now guaranteed his role in the offense and has been targeted heavily of late. For the past two weeks in a row, Taylor has played the second […]

Corey Davis In Play As WR2 Against Buffalo

Titans wide receiver Corey Davis has an interesting matchup this Sunday against the Bills. While the Bills as a whole are bad, their cornerback Tre'Davious White is a stud. If White is assigned to shadow Davis this weekend, there could be some trouble for owners who might want a line akin to the one he […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 5 NFL 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 […]

Jameis Winston Named Week 6 Starter

Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter has named quarterback Jameis Winston the starter for Week 6 against Atlanta. Koetter refused to commit to Winston to start the year and with Ryan Fitzpatrick's play early on his reasoning was justified. However, after seeing Fitzpatrick falter early on in two straight games, the head coach has made the […]

O.J. Howard May Miss Up To a Month

According to Adam Schefter, Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard will miss the next two to four weeks with an MCL sprain. Howard sustained the injury in Sunday's game versus Chicago. Unfortunately for his owners, Howard exited the game before putting up any fantasy points which surely disappointed those who finally mustered up the confidence to […]

Temper Expectations for DeSean Jackson in Week 4

Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson will likely see a lot of Bears slot corner Bryce Callahan on Sunday and that may not behoove his owners. Callahan has been one of the better interior cornerbacks in the league all season and he will look to keep it up against the speedy Jackson. D-Jax has notoriously been […]

Chris Godwin Could Be Sneaky Good Sunday

With Chicago Bears' cornerback Prince Amukamara ruled out for Sunday's contest against Tampa Bay, it seems that Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin could be in for a favorable game. Bears' top corner Kyle Fuller is likely to see plenty of Mike Evans, leaving Godwin with burnable Marcus Cooper and rookie Kevin Tolliver. Godwin is still […]

Peyton Barber Continues to Underwhelm

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber has been awful fantasy wise this season. With just 33 yards on eight carries, Barber continues to be an untrustworthy fantasy back. He is best left at the end of your bench and in consideration as a drop if a hot RB pops up on the wire. There is legitimately […]

Chris Godwin Scores Again Monday

Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has now scored in three straight games and is showing signs of a breakout. Godwin was targeted several times in the end zone but only managed to catch one for a touchdown, which is fine. The fact that he is being targeted there often is a great sign of things […]

O.J. Howard Targeted Heavily Monday

Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard was targeted eight times on Monday and hauled in six for catches. The Steelers defense has been particularly weak since losing Ryan Shazier last season so offenses have been exposing them through the second and third level of their defense since then. Howard totaled 72 yards Monday and has looked […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 4 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much […]

DeSean Jackson Cools Off Monday

Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson finally came back to Earth Monday night against Pittsburgh. Jackson hauled in three catches on five targets for 37 yards. This was a far cry from his first two games in which he exceeded 100 yards and scored. There should be no real cause for concern here because Jackson is […]

Mike Evans Abuses Steelers Secondary

The Steelers defensive backs had no chance against Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans. Evans caught six passes for 137 yards and a touchdown Monday. He just could not be contained. The most notable catch was a 51-yard touchdown bomb from Fitzpatrick that Evans reeled in to inch the game closer. There's no doubt that he's […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Delivers Despite Struggles Monday

Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick finally looked like he came back to Earth in the first half of Monday's game against the Steelers. The Magic Man threw three picks (one returned for a TD) that ended up leaving Tampa down by 20 at the half. After nearly leading Tampa to an improbable comeback in the second […]
