Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2-8 at Detroit Lions 6-4
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Bobby Rainey
#23 Ranked RB
Hopefully you got this guy last week, or put in to the waiver wire this week. Seriously, he looked great last week against Atlanta. And sure, Atlanta’s defense is soft (to say the least) but… seriously. Rainey carried the ball 30 times for 163 yards and 2 TDs. And because the getting was good, he also caught 2 passes for 4 yards and 1 TD. Really? That’s crazy. You can’t expect that every game for the rest of the season, but he’s the man. And frankly, at least one of the amazing RBs on the Buccaneers has to stay healthy, right? Right?!?!
Vincent Jackson
#3 Ranked WR
Detroit gives up the 2nd most fantasy points to opposing WRs. That makes Jackson a juicy choice all on it’s own, but add in the fact that he looked like a super star against Atlanta last week, catching 10 passes for 165 yards and 1 TD, and he’s the definition of “must start.”
Gut Calls
Mike Glennon
#12 Ranked QB
The Bucs like to lean on their run game, but Mike Glennon continues to impress. Last week he passed for 231 yards and 2 TDs. Not too shabby. Detroit is middle-of-the-pack when it comes to defending QBs, but if you’re in a pinch, he might be a sneaky play. Has Tampa Bay found their new QB? We’re into him.
Bench Warmers
Tim Wright
#18 Ranked TE
Well, that was fun while it lasted. Last week was another big bummer. Wright caught one pass for 13 yards against the weak Atlanta defense. This week he goes up against Detroit, and they give up the 8th fewest fantasy points to opposing TEs. You don’t want to be part of that. The odds are not in his favor.
