TNF Bucs/Eagles Ball 'Em or Bench 'Em

Once again the Thursday night matchup features a lot of fantasy starters, and a few deep sleepers that could bail you out of a bad bye-week situation.

This profiles to be a high scoring matchup but also one where the Tampa defense will create some turnovers. Leonard Fournette has emerged as the RB1 in Tampa and should see a heavy workload.


While Godwin is a must-start, his value has been in volume while the touchdowns have been directed at Evans and Brown, giving them all relevancy for this game.


Dallas Goedert is out for tonight due to CoVid, so Zach Ertz is a huge play at TE for anyone struggling at the position.


With the Bucs focusing on Hurts and Devonte Smith, look for Quez Watkins to see a few deep looks that could translate to huge sleeper points. Kenneth Gainwell has been slowly eating into Miles Sander's production and he should see a nice share of work in the short passing game in addition to red zone.


Cameron Brate has not been productive in Gronk's absence, pounding home the fact that Brady doesn't throw to tight ends, he throws to Gronk, and if it's not the big man out there it's hard to rely on the targets. Against the Eagles defense however, it's a perfect opportunity for someone to get lost in the coverage, and that person will be OJ Howard in my eyes. If you are struggling at tight end and can't get Ertz, OJ Howard could be a breakout for you although I only suggest this in super desperate situations.


Good Luck tonight! Don't forget to set your lineups.


SportsLeaf Prediction:
TB Bucs 37
PHI Eagles 24
