BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Eifert! Remember Tyler Eifert? Well, I do and notably, his target share has increased over the past three games from three to four to eight. Pick Tyler Eifert up if you are struggling at tight end and pray that he is about […]

Chris Godwin (WR, TB) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has three touchdowns in three games yet isn't owned in more than 50% of leagues. This will change after waivers clear in the middle of the week. Godwin's target share has increased in every game so far, […]

Marlon Mack (RB, IND) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack was inactive Sunday against Philadelphia due to a nagging hamstring injury. Despite this, he is still worth grabbing in leagues given the fact that Indianapolis is devoid of talent in the backfield. As long as Mack can […]

Peyton Barber Needs to Show Some Life Monday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber has been a huge letdown to start the year. Through two weeks, Barber hasn't totaled 100 rushing yards despite carrying the ball 35 times and has only caught one pass for five yards. This is not the RB2 most owners were hoping to draft. Barber has a decent […]

O.J. Howard Trending Upward

Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard seems to have a good rapport with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Howard's only been targeted six times this year, but he has reeled in five for catches and turned it into 150 yards and a score. Howard's targets doubled from Week 1 (2) to Week 2 (4) and could see an […]

DeSean Jackson Could Stay Hot Monday

Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson will be targeted deep a few more times this coming Monday. The Steelers secondary has been lackluster at best and Jackson has absolutely clicked with Ryan Fitzpatrick to start the year. Jackson will be seeing a lot of cornerback Mike Hilton out of the slot and should have the upper […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Removed From Injury Report

Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (knee) has been removed from the injury report and is clear to play Monday. There really wasn't much concern as to Fitzpatrick's availability as this was likely just a formality for the vet. Monday's matchup against Pittsburgh is quite favorable for the Magic Man as they have been porous since losing […]

Chris Godwin Expected To Play Monday

Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (toe) has been cleared to play Monday against the Steelers. Godwin gets to face one of Joe Haden and reportedly Coty Sensabaugh this week in what should be a shootout in Tampa. With all eyes on Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson, Godwin should be able to reel in a couple […]

Mike Evans Set For Another Big Game Monday

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has a great matchup Monday against the Steelers. Despite Joe Haden being cleared to play, it seems that Artie Burns (toe) might be benched for Coty Sensabaugh who has taken first-team defensive snaps all week. Evans talent outmatches both corners by a good amount so he should see his fair […]

Brent Grimes and Vita Vea Return to Practice Thursday

Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes (groin) and defensive tackle Vita Vea (foot) participated in practice on Thursday. This is the first time all week both have practiced and it's a positive sign towards them playing on Monday against the Steelers. Grimes had been dealing with a groin issue since Week 1 and Vea has been missing […]

Below you will find our FAAB auction bidding recommendations for those playing in FAAB waiver wire leagues. As a caveat, these prices do not by any means […]

Chris Godwin Scores Again Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin found the end zone yet again Sunday versus Philadelphia. This is Godwin's second week in a row with a touchdown and it is showing that he has established himself as a legitimate option in a loaded Bucs' offense. Godwin is the starting outside receiver opposite Mike Evans and typically draws […]

Peyton Barber Disappoints Yet Again

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber had another quiet game Sunday against Philadelphia. Barber finished the day with just 22 yards on 16 attempts and one catch for seven yards. While Barber's blocking is extremely valuable to the Bucs' offense, he hasn't been much of an asset fantasy-wise thus far. It's fair to blame matchups in […]

DeSean Jackson Goes Deep Again Sunday

For the second week in a row, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson took a bomb from quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to the house. In Week 1, it was a 58-yarder, in Week 2 it was 75. Jackson ended Sunday with four catches (on four targets) for 129 yards and a touchdown. There is a special […]

O.J. Howard Dazzles Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard continued to shine in 2018 with a great game against the Eagles on Sunday. Howard ripped off a massive 75-yard touchdown catch-and-run which padded his stats quite nicely for the day. He finished Sunday off with three catches on four targets for 96 yards and a score. Howard […]

Mike Evans Targeted Heavily Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was targeted 12 times against Philadelphia on Sunday and hauled in 10 receptions. Evans' 10 catches resulted in 83 yards and a touchdown in what has become a fantastic start to the year. There was some doubt as to whether Evans would have a decent enough workload to justify drafting […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Whips His Wand Out Sunday

The Philadelphia Eagles got a big taste of Fitzmagic this past Sunday in Tampa. Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick had his second straight week with over 400 yards, exactly four touchdowns, and a win. The league as a whole is stunned that the Bucs are undefeated, especially after opening the season against two playoff-level teams (one […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Not Worth a Look Sunday

Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was stellar in last Sunday's game against the Saints. Almost no one saw that performance coming and it shouldn't be expected to replicate this coming Sunday. Philadelphia's defense is one of the most formidable in the league and without the domed stadium environment, it is going to be a lot harder […]

Chris Godwin a Solid Start if DeSean Jackson Sits

Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin will be in for a sizeable workload if DeSean Jackson (concussion) were to miss this Sunday's game. Jackson was dealing with a concussion after last Sunday's slaughtering in New Orleans but was seen doing drills at practice Thursday. Despite the practice, Jackson remains questionable to play Sunday against Philadelphia which […]

Mike Evans Could Take Advantage of Size Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has a distinct size advantage over Philadelphia's cornerbacks this weekend. Evans typically has a size advantage over most secondaries, however, Philadelphia's corners have been the weak spot in their defense in recent history. Rasul Douglas is the Eagles' only starting corner over six-feet tall and he is one of the […]

Peyton Barber Faces Tough Test Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber will match up against a daunting Eagles front seven this coming Sunday. Tampa Bay enters this game looking to start their season undefeated after two games for the first time in over a decade and it could depend a lot on the run game. Barber blocked well in […]

Mike Evans Roasts Saints Secondary

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans played like the WR1 everyone knows him to be Sunday against New Orleans. Evans caught all seven of his targets for 147 yards and a touchdown. Marshon Lattimore, who absolutely clamped Evans in 2017, was exposed all night and could not stop Evans from dominating. Sunday's beatdown on the Saints […]

Peyton Barber Quiet in Buccaneers Offensive Explosion

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber was disappointing Sunday against the Saints. Barber rushed 18 times for just 69 yards and no touchdowns in what ended up being a 48 point beatdown on New Orleans. The starting running back was touted as the Bucs' workhorse going into this season, and his volume suggests it. However, it's […]

DeSean Jackson Scores Twice Sunday, Exits Early

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (concussion) had a great game Sunday against the Saints. Jackson finished the day with 146 yards, two touchdowns and a perfect catch rate (5-for-5 on targets). His two touchdowns came on home run throws from Ryan Fitzpatrick that flat-out embarrassed a formidable Saints' secondary. The 31-year old wideout […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Provides the Fitzmagic

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick went ballistic against the Saints on Sunday. Fitzpatrick threw for 417 yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions, and lead his double-digit underdog Buccaneers to an eight-point victory over the reigning NFC South champions. This was a literally magical performance from the 35-year old Harvard grad who is only starting because […]

Brent Grimes Doubtful for Week 1

Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes (groin) is officially doubtful for Sunday's game against the Saints. Grimes is a late addition to the injury report after straining his groin in Friday's practice. The veteran corner is probably the only talented player in the entire starting secondary and his a major blow to any chance the Bucs' defense […]

Stephen Strasburg Earns No-Decision Thursday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg pitched 5 2/3 innings on Thursday, leading to a no-decision. Strasburg faced a potent Cubs lineup that only managed to score three runs off of him (two earned). Although he allowed nine baserunners, he minimized damage as much as possible and struck out six. This start was Strasburg's third […]

Ryan Zimmerman Fills Stat Sheet Wednesday

Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman had a great day against St. Louis on Wednesday. Zimmerman went 2-for-5, scored two runs and drove in three. A bases-loaded double in the seventh knocked in the three men on base and made this start worthwhile for Zimmerman owners. Despite being annoying to own due to health, Zimmerman has […]

Tanner Roark Hit Hard Wednesday

Nationals starting pitcher Tanner Roark had a rough outing Wednesday against the Cardinals. In five innings, Roark gave up six runs on 10 hits and ended up with the loss. This is Roark's third loss in a row and second straight game with four or more earned runs. His hot streak has seemingly cooled down […]

Mike Evans Faced With Tough Week 1 Matchup

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is not the safest play Sunday against New Orleans. Evans faced the Saints twice last season and only managed to catch 6-of-19 targets. The addition of Marcus Lattimore into the Saints' secondary has made the matchup a daunting task for any and all WR1s. With Fitzpatrick under center instead of […]
