Buccaneers fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em for week Six
Start em’: Jameis Winson
Jameis Winston will have to play well this week for the Bucs to win in London. The Bucs offensive line has struggled to stop the pass rush and this week isn’t going to be any easier, the Panthers defense has the second-most sacks this season so far with 20.

Mix that with the fact that the Bucs are not only struggling against the pass rush but now two of their offensive lineman are out with injuries in Alex Cappa, and Demar Dotson. Expect the Panthers to send a lot of heat at Winston this week, and although that would normally spell trouble for a quarterback, expect Winston and the offense to be pass-heavy.
Mike Evans is not likely to be shut down for two weeks in a row and Chris Godwin has played like one of the best young wide receivers in the game, expect Winston to look their way many times this week.
Start em’: Chris Godwin/Mike Evans
Last week Mike Evans could not get open against cornerback Marshon Lattimore, this week he should have a better week as the Panthers, although the Panthers have allowed the 4th lowest passing yards this season so far, they don’t have a corner that will be able to hang with the 6’5 Evans.
In the case of Chris Godwin, he has become one of the best receivers this season, he has shown up every game so far this season. I expect a high scoring game this week, so expect this dynamic duo to put up big points this week and help this Bucs team get the win in London this week.
