Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tyler Johnson finished the Week 5 loss to Chicago with four receptions for 61 yards on six targets.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate posted five receptions for 44 yards on six targets in Week 5. With O.J. Howard now out for the season and the WRs hobbled, Brate stepped up and posted his best totals of the season. Nevertheless, managers should wait and see if Brate can develop some consistency before […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans finished the Week 5 loss to the Bears with five receptions for 41 yards and a score on a team-leading nine targets. Despite entering the game hobbled with an ankle injury, Evans provided fantasy value with the touchdown he scored. The WR is a fantasy WR1 most weeks […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II finished Thursday's loss with 17 carries for 106 yards and three receptions for 19 yards on five targets. It was the second straight 100-yard game for Jones and he faced no competition for carries even with Leonard Fournette active this game. It's now becoming clear Jones is […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady went 25-for-41 for 253 yards and a touchdown in the Thursday night loss to the Bears. It was a tough night for the QB against a ferocious Bears Defense and it didn't help that his receiving corp came in injured. Nevertheless, the QB has been serviceable this season in […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoJoey Slye A Streaming Option For Week 5
Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye is a streaming option for this week against Atlanta. On the season, Slye has gone 10-for-11 in field goal attempts and 7-for-9 in extra point attempts. The Falcons are middle-of-the-pack in points allowed to kickers, but Slye's decent production this season gives him starting value in leagues of over 10-12 […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoPanthers Defense Not A Viable Starting Option
The Carolina Panthers Defense has shown signs of improvement in the past two weeks but is not a strong streaming option for Week 5 against Atlanta. The Falcons' problem is their defense and the offense has had to pick up the load to keep the team in games. The offense is filled with talented playmakers […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoIan Thomas Should Remain On The Bench For Week 5
Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas is not a viable starting option this week. The tight end has seen a total of five receptions for 30 yards and a score on nine targets through four games. His role is simply not large enough for him to be trustworthy enough to start in fantasy.
Rishi Patel 4 years agoCurtis Samuel A Flex For Week 5
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel is a flex option for Week 5. Samuel has seen a steady role this season as he has gotten at least three receptions, four targets, and 38 yards in three of four games. He is the WR3 on the team, so huge production is not expected out of Samuel. […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoRobby Anderson A WR2 This Week
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson is a WR2 this week against Atlanta. Anderson has started off his Carolina career exceptionally well, posting nearly 100 yards in three of four games. He has also seen over eight targets in three of four games as well. Anderson is developing a strong rapport with Teddy Bridgewater and […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoD.J. Moore Is A WR2 This Week
Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is a WR2 for this week. Moore has posted only 65 and 49 yards respectively in the past two games, which is certainly disappointing considering his role as the WR1 on the team. This has been due to the emergence of Robby Anderson. Nevertheless, the Falcons allow the 10th-most […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoMike Davis A Low-End RB1 In Week 5
Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis is a low-end RB1 for Week 5. Davis has filled in well for injured back Christian McCaffrey as he has accumulated value in the rushing and passing game. Last week, the back had 16 carries for 84 yards and five receptions for 27 yards on six targets. In the […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoTeddy Bridgewater A Streaming Option In Week 5
Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is a streaming option in Week 5 against the Falcons. In the past two games, the QB has tossed for over 500 yards and three touchdowns in winning efforts. In addition, he is starting to build comfort in this offense. The Panthers now play the hapless Falcons, who allow the […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoRyan Succop Only Worth Starting In Deeper Leagues
Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop should only be considered a starting kicker for those in deeper leagues this week. On the season, Succop has gone 5-for-7 on field goals and 13-for-14 on extra points. He has missed two field goals from beyond 40 yards. The Bears have allowed the eighth-most points to fantasy kickers, […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoBuccaneers Defense A Solid Starting Option
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense is a strong starting option this week against the Chicago Bears. Chicago struggled against the Colts last week with Nick Foles at the helm and only managed a touchdown in the fourth quarter when the game was already decided. Meanwhile, the Bucs' defense has 14 sacks, five picks, and four […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoCameron Brate A Low-End TE2 For Week 5
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate could see a bit of fantasy value this week as the team is dealing with numerous injuries to pass-catchers. With fellow tight end O.J. Howard now out for the season with an Achilles injury, Brate will be the TE2 on the team for the rest of the season. […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoRob Gronkowski A Low-End TE1 For Thursday
Despite not putting up the numbers fantasy managers have become accustomed to, there is some fantasy value for Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski in Week 5. With the Bucs dealing with wideout injuries across the board, Gronk could see more targets come his way. Chris Godwin and Justin Watson will not be playing […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoScotty Miller A Flex If Active In Week 5
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller should be considered a flex piece in Week 5 if he is active. The wideout is currently dealing with a hip and groin injury and is considered questionable for the contest. With Chris Godwin being injured most of this season, Miller has stepped up, posting 83 yards the […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoMike Evans A Low-End WR1 If Active
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans should be considered a low-end WR1 on Thursday night if he is active. Currently, Evans is questionable due to an ankle injury. The Bucs are already down Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Justin Watson (chest), so Evans will see a large workload if he plays. Nevertheless, the injured receiver […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoRonald Jones II An RB2 For Week 5
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II is a solid RB2 against the Bears on Thursday. Both Leonard Fournette and LeSean McCoy are dealing with ankle injuries and neither will likely play on Thursday, meaning Jones will be the workhorse back. The RB posted his best total of the season last week with 20 […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoTom Brady A Low-End QB1 In Week 5
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is a low-end QB1 for the Thursday night matchup against the Bears. The 43-year-old has been on absolute fire the past two games, throwing for nearly 700 yards and eight total touchdowns. While it's encouraging to see the QB getting in a groove with his new team, expectations should […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoHayden Hurst Grabs 51 Yards
Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst finished Week 4 with four receptions for 51 yards on six targets. Aside from a Week 3 no-show, Hurst has been a factor in this passing game and has gotten at least three receptions, five targets, and 38 yards in three of four games. He is starting to develop […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoOlamide Zaccheaus Paces Team With 86 Yards
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus appeared out of nowhere and paced the team with eight receptions for 86 yards on nine targets in the Week 4 loss to Green Bay.

Rishi Patel 4 years agoRussell Gage Gets 22 Yards In Week 4
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage posted two receptions for 22 yards on three targets in Week 4. The receiver has come back down to earth after getting over 100 yards in Week 1. He has now posted 26 and 22 yards in the past two games, respectively. Julio Jones is dealing with a hamstring […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoCalvin Ridley Puts Up Goose Egg
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley finished with zero yards on five targets in the Week 4 loss to Green Bay. It was a tough outing from the beginning for Ridley and he couldn't quite reel in any catches. Nevertheless, this was a major disappointment considering the receiver had three straight 100-yard games. The talented […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoTodd Gurley II Scores Two Touchdowns
Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II was the lone bright spot in the Week 4 loss to Green Bay in which the entire offense looked out of sync. The back posted 16 carries for 57 yards and two scores. The former Ram has seen at least 14 carries in four games this season and […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoMatt Ryan Posts 285 Yards
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan went 28-for-39 and posted 285 yards in the Week 4 loss to the Packers. The Falcons were down for most of the game and the offense looked out of sync for most of the night. Ryan now only has one passing touchdown in the past two games. He will look […]

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith finished Week 4 with four receptions, 54 yards, and two touchdowns on four targets.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders stepped up in the Week 4 win over the Lions, getting six receptions for 93 yards on nine targets.
