NFL Week 8 Fantasy Preview: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons, Doug Martin, Mike Evans, Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman

Oct 28, 2015 03:40 PM EDT

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Doug Martin (Running Back): Atlanta has given up the third most fantasy points in the entire season and Martin is on fire. He has three 100 yard games in a row and 3 touchdowns. Martin should find himself fewer than 100 for this matchup with the Falcons but should find the end zone multiple times.

Mike Evans (Wide Receiver): Evans will see a lot of Trufant in this matchup and the Falcons give up the 3rd fewest fantasy points to wide receivers. Evans will be targeted heavily with the Buccaneers receiving corps dinged up.

+Sleeper Pick-Austin Seferian-Jenkins (Tight End): He will make his return with Louis Murphy and Vincent Jackson out with injury, while Mike Evans is receiving the top coverage. Jenkins is worth a spot start just thinking about the amount of targets he should receive.

Atlanta Falcons

Julio Jones (Wide Receiver): Jones should return to his 100 yard receiving days as the Tampa Bay defense has been awful against the pass. Jones should see his first big receiving day since week 3.

Devonta Freeman (Running Back): Bad matchup coming up as Freeman has 3 straight 100 yard games. It seems as if Freeman can gain a ton of fantasy points from just being on the field but I believe that time comes to an end against the Bucs.

Matt Ryan (Quarterback): Matt Ryan should have a stellar day against this Tampa Bay secondary that has allowed the 4th most fantasy points to quarterbacks in the NFL. Ryan will likely have to throw a lot with Tampa being great at stopping the run.
