The Buccaneers are poised for a shootout with the Falcons this week. Find out which Bucs need to be in your lineup this week.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head into Atlanta to face the division rival Falcons, and it looks to be a shootout for the ages.

Tampa Bay will see the return of quarterback Jameis Winston into the starting lineup as Atlanta will look towards Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley to dominate for 60 minutes.

From a fantasy perspective, this game could be the reason for a victory. With a pair of talented quarterbacks and stellar receiving corps on both sides, there’s plenty of players who should be in fantasy owners lineups.

For the Buccaneers, in particular, their receivers are in for a big day. With Atlanta’s banged up defense, both Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson should get plenty of looks.

Owners should feel positive about Winston as well, even if it’s his first start since last season. The former number one overall pick shouldn’t have much trouble pushing the ball downfield this week.

Concerns arise at the tight end and running back position. The Buccaneers pair of tight ends may steal each other’s targets this week, and the running game doesn’t appear to be anywhere near fixed.

Take a look at which Buccaneers to insert into your starting lineup and which players to avoid this week.
