New Orleans at Tampa Bay

Bucs

QB Jameis WinstonWinston has been a steady contributor all season long, and he should have a strong day at home against the New Orleans secondary. The Saints offer an average of 18 fantasy points to opposing QBs. Winston can surpass that.

RB Doug Martin/Jacquizz RodgersMartin exited last week’s game with a back injury, but he’s expected to go this week. Reports out of Tampa suggest Jacquizz Rodgers could eat into his workload this week. I’d still start Martin with confidence, but make sure you have his handcuff.

WR Mike EvansForget last week. Evans is a must start.

TE Cameron BrateBrate excels in high-scoring games, and the game-script could certainly favor him this week. He’s a solid streamer.

Saints

QB Drew BreesBrees let you down last week in a tasty matchup with Detroit. While he’s stronger at home, don’t expect another touchdown-less afternoon. Start him with confidence.

RB Mark Ingram/Tim HightowerIngram can be started this week despite a poor showing against the Lions. Hightower belongs on your bench, but all Ingram owners need to grab him as Ingram’s high-upside handcuff.

Saints WRs: Michael Thomas remains Brees’ favorite target. Start him despite a quiet game last week. Brandin Cooks is a riskier play but has tremendous upside, but Willie Snead should sit.

TE Coby FleenerFleener is as frustrating as they get, but this is a decent matchup for him. He could find the end zone Sunday.
