The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are headed to New Orleans for a matchup with the first-place Saints, a game whose outcome is likely critical to the Buccaneers' season. From a fantasy football standpoint, however, everybody could come out of this one as winners.
Drew Brees has his typical numbers, albeit a little lighter than usual on the touchdowns, and a flashy new running back duo to feed. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a healthier Jameis Winston and a couple other players who are fast becoming fantasy mainstays. As we noted in our look at the Bucs-Saints series history earlier in the week, the last five games between these two teams in New Orleans have featured an average of 52 combined points on the Mercedes-Benz Superdome scoreboard…which means the potential for a lot of fantasy points on your league's scoreboard.
