Falcons-Buccaneers Fantasy Football Week 15 Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em

While it is The Atlanta Falcons are considering changes to their coaching staffthe The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are trying to bounce back from a catastrophic defeat. And here it is Fantasy Football Week 15 start them and give them tips for these teams.

The Buccaneers remain in the mix to win the NFC South division at 7-6. However, the Falcons are struggling with a 4-9 record in a very disappointing season.

Let’s take a look at the best and worst fantasy football bets for this contest.

Start ’em — Buccaneers KB Baker Mayfield

Yes, Mayfield had three straight passing touchdowns. Just when you needed him the most, he failed.

However, a shoulder injury limited him against the Saints. And that must be taken into account. Now the gamble is whether Mayfield will still be limited against the Falcons. The good news is that he fully participated in practice on Monday.

The other part of the equation is that the fantasy football playoffs are here. And if you have Mayfield, he’s probably your only hope. If you have a non-stud option like Brock Purdy or Jaxon Dart, you might roll the dice. But as much of a gamble as it is to have Mayfield in your lineup, it’s just as much of a gamble to bench him for a quarterback with less upside.

Mayfield also has his team’s motivation going in the hunt for the playoffsper NBC Sports via the team transcript.

“We’re still in control of our destiny — that’s just a fact,” Mayfield said. “We’re tied for the division, we’d like to be up and in second place, but we’re where we are, we’re in control of our own destiny, we’re taking it one game at a time and seeing what happens.”

Look for Mayfield to throw for 250+ yards and a pair of touchdowns.

There might be some reluctance to feel comfortable with Robinson because of the Buccaneers’ stout defense. But that won’t be a problem with Robinson’s fantasy production.

He had just 12 carries for 24 yards in the first meeting. However, he did total six catches for 100 yards and a touchdown in that Week 1 matchup.

This week, Robinson should be a lock for 15-plus carries and six or seven targets through the air. And the Buccaneers have been susceptible to pass-catching running backs in recent weeks, according to Fantasy Avg.

“Over the past five weeks, the Bucs have allowed the second-most receiving yards and receiving TDs to opposing RBs,” wrote Ellis Johnson.

There’s a small chance the Falcons will underutilize Robinson. Progress as Morris fights for his job. That’s because we know Morris loves Robinson, according to NFL.com.

“He’s definitely the best football player, without a doubt,” Morris said earlier this season. “He’s amazing. I love the kid. I love everything about him. I love watching him with the ball. I love his confidence. I love his demeanor. I love his mindset. I love the leadership. I love everything about him.”

Sit ’em — Falcons KB Kirk Cousins

It’s unwise to root for an aging veteran’s regressive performances.

If Drake London could somehow match this competition, Cousins ​​could provide something above average. But that’s just too much of a risk.

That’s it improvised offense from a passing point of view, according to ESPN.

“You could see guys like (Deven Thompkins) really step up and become guys for us, and last week he came out, got some completions, was able to be a part of our game in the second leg and really gave us a spark, and those are the guys (who are at this point) that Morris said he was going to provide.”

But at least the receivers are paying attention to the little things, Cousins ​​said.

“And I kind of said to myself as I walked down to the line of scrimmage, ‘Thank God,'” Cousins ​​said. “It’s such a blessing to play with receivers who are detail-oriented. Mooney is like that, (Dylan Drummond is) like that. Just having guys out there that you know you can really trust to be where they need to be when they need to be there. And as a quarterback, that always gives you comfort and confidence.”
