Fantasy Football: 5 Things We Learned From Week 6
The Bucs' Offense Is Still Rolling
If you had any questions or concerns regarding the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense coming into Week 6, you can officially put them to rest. In Jameis Winston's return as the starting quarterback, the Bucs posted 29 points and kept up with the high-flying Atlanta Falcons' offense.
Winston himself had a great day for fantasy football, scoring 30.9 fantasy points, but more importantly, he made sure to keep his receivers well-fed. Chris Godwin, O.J. Howard and DeSean Jackson each finished with more than 10 PPR fantasy points -- Mike Evans finished just outside of that cutoff with 9.8 -- and Cameron Brate snagged a touchdown on his only grab.
Ryan Fitzpatrick left some big shoes to fill, but Winston picked up right where the bearded one left off -- namely throwing it deep. Winston led the league in passing yards in Week 6 with 395 and passing touchdowns with 4, but he also finished with the second-highest Pass Success rate -- the percentage of passes that add expected points to the passer's team -- of the week (with Monday's game still to play).
Winston missed the first three weeks of the season, but he didn't miss a beat. He'll be a top-end streamer for the rest of the season, and all of the Bucs' weapons are still fully in play for your fantasy teams.
