Week 6: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Call me crazy, but I think the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their fans are in for another tough season. They’ve definitely made some great picks over the last few seasons in the NFL Draft, but as Falcons fans learned the hard way, Mike Smith and Dirk Koetter aren’t the guys to take a team to the next level. Plus, they’re dealing with off-the-field antics with Jameis Winston – again.

Fortunately for the Falcons, they’ll be able to take advantage of a team still looking for their identity in Week 6. Not to mention, it’s become clear that the Bucs don’t have an answer for Devonta Freeman or Tevin Coleman. If you snag one of these guys for your 2018 Fantasy Football team, this is the week to start them.

Per usual, we can expect Mike Evans to have one heck of a game. No matter how great of coverage the Falcons play on him, his size and hands always tend to overcome. Thankfully for the Dirty Birds, Evan’s efforts will come in another loss to Atlanta.

After losing a tough one in Pittsburgh, you can expect the Falcons to bounce-back and have one of their best offensive games of 2018 against their NFC South rivals.

Final Score:

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 21, Atlanta Falcons (4-2): 38
