Fantasy Football Player Notes
2021 Half PPR Rest of Season Rankings
|
10.
Leonard Fournette
RB - (vs . CAR)
With Giovani Bernard sidelined in Week 4, "playoff Lenny" handled 93% of the LDD snaps and 100% of the two-minute work. Bernard returned in Week 5, and suddenly Fournette wasn't seeing the field for long-down-and-distance opportunities anymore. He still handled all the two-minute work, which is a good sign for his going-forward outlook. Bernard's usage in the passing game will be something to monitor on Thursday Night Football this week.

Mike Evans
WR - (vs . CAR)
As expected, Saints corner Marshon Lattimore gave Evans some fits in Week 8. Nonetheless, 'Big Mike' just missed hauling in a long touchdown reception. The Bucs have a bye this week before drawing the burnable Washington secondary in Week 10. Keep Evans rostered for that pristine matchup.

35.
Chris Godwin
WR - (vs . CAR)
Through six weeks, Godwin is seeing a 17% target share with a 9.0 ADOT. The Bucs can't feature everyone every week, but his time will be coming again soon.

59.
Rob Gronkowski
TE - (vs . CAR)
Including playoffs, Gronk now has 11 touchdowns over his past 16 games. In his past three contests, he has secured 15-of-16 targets for 186 yards and four TDs. That's fantastic, but the future Hall-of-Famer is still fighting the age model in a crowded receiving corps. It was tempting to tag him as a "sell", but the Week 1 results are just impossible to ignore.

92.
Antonio Brown
WR - (vs . CAR)
Brown's role on the Bucs is similar to what it was in 2020; he isn't running a lot of routes, but Tom Brady is looking for him whenever he's on the field. This leads "AB" to being a more volatile fantasy option than we'd typically like, but it also increases his chances at spiked games. Consider him an upside WR3 moving forward.

Ronald Jones II
RB - (vs . CAR)

186.
Giovani Bernard
RB - (vs . CAR)
Bernard had a very useful fantasy performance in a Week 3 loss to the Rams, catching nine passes for 51 yards and a touchdown. However, his role remains unchanged. Bernard is Tampa Bay's third-down and two-minute back. Unfortunately, we don't anticipate the Bucs trailing much this season. This will make Bernard's week-to-week production a difficult guessing game.
