Atlanta Falcons

Julio Jones (Wide Receiver): In their last meeting Julio Jones torched the Bucs for 12 receptions, 162 yards, and a touchdown.  This week he will face them as the Falcons are stuck in a 4 game tailspin. The Buccaneers have given up the 13th most fantasy points all season long so seeing Jones go off would not be too shocking.

Devonta Freeman (Running Back): Freeman has been out with a concussion and he will try to make his return in week 13. Freeman had 88 rushing yards on 21 attempts the last time he faced the Bucs. Since then the Bucs are giving up the 8th fewest fantasy points to running backs and Freeman will have a tough return matchup. He is a cautious RB2.

 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Doug Martin (Running Back): Martin has another fantastic matchup as the Falcons have given up the most fantasy points to running backs all season long. The Falcons have gotten worse at stopping the run so expect Martin's original entry into this series (23 attempts, 71 yards) to grow.

Mike Evans (Wide Receiver): Evans will get a tough matchup this week as he faces Desmond Trufant, Atlanta's primary shut down cornerback. Evans in their first meeting only recorded 3 receptions for 48 yards so it is no shock when I tell you that the Falcons give up the second fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season.  Evans has found an excellent groove with Jameis Winston and he has seen over 30 targets in the past 3 games.
