Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Detroit Lions DFS Start ‘Ems
http://gty.im/2170261083
Here are a few of the players that we are leaning on heavily in this game. These players are in a good spot to put together a solid performance and have a favorable matchup.
Baker Mayfield ($5,900 DraftKings and $7,400 Fanduel)
Baker Mayfield lit up the Washington Commanders’ defense last week with throwing for 289 yards and four touchdowns. Baker was the 2nd highest quarterback in fantasy points last week with 29.66 FTPS on DraftKings and 29.7 Fanduel. Baker is still worth starting in this matchup with him having wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
Jared Goff ($6,4000 DraftKings and $$7,800 Fanduel)
Jared Goff did not have the greatest game on Sunday night against the LA Rams he had 12.4 FTPS on DraftKings and 12.3 FTPS on Fanduel. Jared Goff averaged 17.4 FTPS a game last year. Goff is a solid quarterback for this week, he should bounce back against the Buccaneers.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Detroit Lions DFS Sit ‘Ems
On the flip side of things, here are a few of the players we are sitting in this one.
Bucky Irving ($4,900 on DraftKings and $5,300 on Fanduel)
Bucky Irving carried the ball nine times for 62 yards and no touchdowns against a weak defense last week against the Commanders. The Detroit Lions have a better defense and RB Rachaad White will be carrying most of the load against the Lions. Irving had an average of 7.0 FTPS DraftKings and 7.6 Fanduel. He is 4% rostered in PPR leagues.
David Montgomery ($6,000 on DraftKings and $7,200 on Fanduel)
Despite David Montgomery having a slightly better game than Jahmyr Gibbs, it is still safe to say Gibbs is the primary back for the Lions. Montgomery had a good game against the Rams with 17 carries, 91 yards, and a touchdown. He is still a solid number two back in all leagues. But the Buccaneers are a hard team to run on, especially up the middle.
Total Apex Lock of the Game
Amon-Ra St. Brown ($8,100 on DraftKings and $9,000 on Fanduel)
Amon-Ra St. Brown was almost non-existent in the game against the Rams. He had three receptions for 13 yards and no touchdowns. St. Brown had 4.3 FTPS fantasy points last week, the worst in his career. St. Brown is still a top 10 WR in the league he will bounce back from this performance as the season goes on.
Total Apex Fade of the Game
Cade Otton ( $3,6000 on DraftKings and $4,9000 on Fanduel)
Cade Otton is a tight end for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He is not a factor in the Buccaneers offense. Tampa Bay relies on their wide receivers and run game more than they rely on their tight end. Tampa Bay’s offense has changed since QB Tom Brady and TE Rob Gronkowski’s duo is now a thing of the past.
Conclusion
This game will be great as it is a rematch of the NFC Divisional Playoff round from last season. The Detroit Lions will look to keep their momentum going and start the season 2-0. Stacking QB Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown in this game will help a fantasy team gain points. They are in a good position this week against the Buccaneers in DFS.
