Buccaneers TE Cameron Brate caught 3-of-4 targets for 23 yards in Monday night's Week 11 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact: Another game, another usual Brate stat line. If he does not score, he does not return any fantasy value.

Buccaneers TE Rob Gronkowski caught 2-of-6 targets for 25 yards in Monday night's Week 11 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact: Gronkowski was quiet on Monday night. While he's had six targets in two of his past three games, he's had fewer than two receptions and 51 yards in all three. If it wasn't for a touchdown last week, Gronkowski would be a bigger mess for his fantasy managers. He gets the Chiefs in Week 12.

Buccaneers WR Mike Evans caught 5-of-9 targets for 49 yards and one touchdown in Monday night's Week 11 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact: Evans has been hot since the Antonio Brown signing. While many thought he would fade, he's had at least 64 yards or a touchdown in three games with Brown, scoring twice. He's also scored in three of his past four games as well. Evans gets Kansas City in Week 11.

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin caught 7-of-10 targets for 53 yards and one touchdown in Monday night's Week 11 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact: While Godwin did not get going yardage-wise, he did grab seven balls and score. He had a solid game in PPR. Godwin had a season-high 10 targets on Monday night and at least six in every game he's played. Godwin gets the Cheifs in Week 12.

Buccaneers WR Antonio Brown caught 8-of-13 targets for 57 yards in Monday night's Week 11 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact: Brown has been targeted 26 times in three games with Tampa Bay, catching 18 of them for 157 yards with no scores. Brown had a quality outing in the Monday night loss in PPR but has yet to look like his old self. Brown gets the Chiefs in Week 12.

Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones rushed 10 times for 24 yards while failing to corral his lone target in Monday night's Week 11 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact: Leonard Fournette out-gained Jones in total yards 26-to-24. However, Jones did handle more touches 10-to-8. The saving grace for the backfield for a while was the Fournette touchdown. Both backs will look to get back on track in a sound Week 12 matchup with Kansas City.

Buccaneers RB Leonard Fournette rushed seven times for 17 yards and one touchdown while a nine-yard pass on four targets in Monday night's Week 11 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact: Neither Fournette nor Ronald Jones had a good game. In fact, both backs face planted. If it wasn't for Fournette's touchdown, he would have busted for his fantasy managers as Jones did. Fournette will look to extend his scoring streak to two games in Week 12 against the Chiefs.

Buccaneers QB Tom Brady completed just 26-of-48 passes for 216 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in Monday night's Week 11 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact: Brady threw a pair of picks on overthrown balls. While he did manage two touchdowns, he only threw for 216 yards. It was not his best showing, a narrative that has reared its ugly head more times than some want to admit this season. But you can't deny the facts. Brady will look to get back on track in Week 12 against Kansas City in a potential shootout.

Buccaneers K Ryan Succop was successful on his lone field goal attempt and on all three extra-point tries in Monday night's Week 11 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact: Succop was perfect on the night but did not get enough field goal opportunities to cash in. He will look to get back on track in Week 12 against the Chiefs in a game that is marked to be a shootout.

Matt Gay connected on 2-of-3 field goal attempts and chipped in all three of his extra points during the Rams' 27-24 win over the Buccaneers in Week 11.

Fantasy Impact: Gay's 40-yard field goal proved to be the game-winner with 2:40 left in the game against his former team. The Rams' have struggled to find consistent performances from their kickers this year, whether it be due to injury or play, so Gay has a tremendous opportunity to build off of this showing. He should be a fringe top-12 option for a Week 12 matchup against the 49ers'.

The Rams D/ST intercepted Tom Brady twice while surrendering 251 total yards of offense en route to 24 points during their 27-24 win in Week 11.

Fantasy Impact: It was a quiet night for this defense outside of two interceptions as they failed to sack Brady one time. They did a nice job limiting the Bucs' big plays on the night, however, it rarely amounted to fantasy points. This defensive unit had a better real life game than for fantasy purposes but are presented a great bounce-back opportunity against the banged up 49ers' offense in Week 12.

Van Jefferson hauled in his lone target for seven yards en route to scoring his first professional touchdown during the Rams' 27-24 win over the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.

Fantasy Impact: Jefferson ran a beautiful route on a five-yard slant and fell into the end zone for the first score of his career. The rookie receiver has been good when given the chance, though he hasn't been given many opportunities as of late. Hopefully his score impressed the coaching staff and will amount to some more playing time. Until then, he should be left on fantasy benches until he becomes a bigger part of the Rams' offense.

Tyler Higbee caught all four of his targets for 19 scoreless yards during the Rams' 27-24 victory over the Buccaneers in Week 11.

Fantasy Impact: Higbee was once again out-targeted by Gerald Everett and his four targets is extremely disappointing on a night where Jared Goff threw 51 passes. He is a far cry from the TE1 we thought we were getting at the beginning of the season, though you're likely starting him if you have him due to the fantasy wasteland at tight end. He will be a low-end TE1/high-end TE2 for Week 12 against the 49ers'.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers D/ST surrendered 413 total yards and 27 points in Monday night's Week 11 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact: While the Tampa defense has played terrific at times this season, they were lit up on Monday night. And while they did force two turnovers, they failed to sack Jared Goff once. Things won't get any easier for the Buccaneers defense, however, they can be faded against the Chiefs in Week 12.

Gerald Everett hauled in 4-of-5 targets for 27 yards during the Rams' Week 11 win over the Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact: On a night where Sean McVay dialed up 51 pass plays for the Rams' offense, Everett once again out-targeted Tyler Higbee 5-4. It's possible that they cap each other's fantasy upside but Higbee is far from the clear cut TE1 in this offense. Neither of them project as must-start fantasy options ahead of a Week 12 date against the 49ers'.

Cam Akers rushed five times for 15 yards and caught his lone target for four yards and a touchdown during the Rams' 27-24 victory over the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.

Fantasy Impact: Akers' four-yard reception in the first half marked the first score of his professional career. His five carries were still behind Darrell Henderson but more than Malcolm Brown on a night where Jared Goff threw 51 passes. With all three Rams' running back fully healthy, this is certainly a backfield to stay away from if possible, though Akers presents the most upside due to his high draft pedigree and Sean McVay's expressed desire for him to take over the job at some point in the season. Akers' likely won't be a recommended fantasy play for Week 12 but is a fantastic bench stash.

Malcolm Brown rushed three times for 20 yards and hauled in his lone target for eight yards during the Rams' Week 11 win over the Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact: Brown took a backseat behind both Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson in this one, though he was the more efficient back. It appears this dreaded committee backfield will be a reality as long as all three running backs are healthy, making it difficult to project on a week-to-week basis. It would be wise to stay away if possible moving forward. Brown and the Rams get the 49ers' in Week 12.

Josh Reynolds hauled in 3-of-6 targets for 32 yards during the Rams' 27-24 win over the Buccaneers in Week 11.

Fantasy Impact: Having seen a rising target share over the last few games, Reynolds took a backseat to Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods in this one. His three catches on a night where Jared Goff threw 51 passes is certainly discouraging, though he does have a nice matchup against the 49ers' in Week 12. He should remain in the WR3/4 range moving forward.

Darrell Henderson rushed eight times for five yards and hauled in 2-of-3 targets for four additional yards during the Rams' 27-24 victory over the Buccaneers in Week 11.

Fantasy Impact: On a night where Jared Goff threw the ball 51 times, Henderson led all Rams' running backs with 10 total touches on the night. Unfortunately, he was only able to turn those 10 touches into nine total yards of offense while watching Cam Akers find the end zone for the first time in his career. With all three running backs fully healthy, this backfield is a nightmare for fantasy purposes and should be avoided if possible. Henderson will be a risky RB3 for Week 12 and beyond.

Robert Woods hauled in 12-of-15 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown during the Rams' 27-24 win over the Buccaneers in Week 11.

Fantasy Impact: It was the Woods' and Cooper Kupp show on Monday as the duo largely benefited from Jared Goff's 51 pass attempts. His fifth receiving touchdown of the season capped off the Rams' first drive of the game and Woods has now caught more than double the amount of touchdowns he did all of last year. Woods should be considered a high-end WR2 for the Rams Week 12 game against the 49ers, though it can't be expected for Goff to throw 51 passes again.
