NFC SOUTH

SIT: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense

This probably goes without saying, but the Buccaneers defense hasn’t been putting up great fantasy football numbers past Week 1. Going up against Drew Brees and Company means another hard day at the office for the Bucs.

START: Wide Receiver, Julio Jones – Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons need to kick-start their run to another division title. Getting their best receiver involved early and often will help them beat the Panthers.

SLEEPER: Wide Recevier, Curtis Samuel – Carolina Panthers

Curtis Samuel is almost assuredly getting a bigger role in the offense with Kelvin Benjamin gone. He may be the biggest individual benefactor from the trade.

AFC SOUTH

SIT: Running Back, Marlon Mack – Indianapolis Colts

While the young back inches closer and closer to being the guy in Indianapolis, this game is Houston’s to lose, and the Colts will be forced to go away from Mack as they look to play catch-up.

START: Quarterback, Deshaun Watson – Houston Texans

The Colts didn’t do anything at the trade deadline to get better on defense, so the old “play whoever is playing the Colts”, strategy is firmly in place.

SLEEPER: Houston Texans Defense

It’s going to be another big week for Houston, and if their defense is allowed to sit on the pass, they could take one back to the house.
