Fantasy Football: 3 Passing Games to Target for the Playoffs

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Week 14: vs. New Orleans
Week 15 at Dallas
Week 16: at New Orleans

This doesn't need to be difficult -- the New Orleans Saints have a miserable defense, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play them in Week 14 and Week 16. That's right: the Bucs get the Saints twice in the fantasy playoffs. Leggo!

Mike Evans is probably going to win a lot of leagues, but he's going to be understandably tough to acquire because he's currently blowtorching the NFL. Jameis Winston on the other hand is an ideal target who shouldn't be very expensive.

Winston has been a solid fantasy producer, pretty much doing exactly what was expected of him. The 15th quarterback off the board, per FantasyPros ADP data, Jameis is currently 15th among quarterbacks in fantasy points per game.

Winston's per-game numbers are bogged down by two clunkers against the stout defenses of the Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos, games in which he scored 4.62 and 11.06 points, respectively. In his four other games, the Bucs' signal caller is putting up 21.76 points per game, scoring at least 15 points each week with a pair of 25-point outbursts.

Tight end Cameron Brate is another player to target. Possibly on your waiver wire -- although he shouldn't be with a matchup against the Oakland Raiders this week -- Brate has become the team's number-two weapon in the passing game with Vincent Jackson and Austin Seferian-Jenkins out of the picture, garnering 24 targets over the past four games and posting two TE1 performances in that span in points per reception (PPR) formats.
