Jared Goff’s three interceptions were just one shy from his career high. This was only the second time in his career that he had thrown more than two in one game. They locked up the Rams rushing attack with their underrated front seven and should be taken more seriously going forward. The Bucs D/ST had the fifth highest fantasy output of the week. Their Week 5 meeting with the New Orleans Saints may turn into another strong fantasy outing for the D/ST unit.
