Tom Brady threw the ball well on Sunday against the Seahawks, but on a trick play where he jumped to receiver, things went south fast.

It's never too early to look toward your next matchup and a chance to bolster your fantasy football lineups. Here are two options to consider on the waiver wire ahead of Week 11. After Fournette left the game, White took over the Bucs backfield and the running game looked more potent than it has in a while. Reports suggest that Edwards should be ready in Week 11 after recovering from a hamstring injury. While Kenyan Drake has done some good work for the Ravens, Edwards is expected to return to a lead role in Baltimore's backfield.

MUNICH — (AP) — Tom Brady stayed undefeated abroad by throwing two touchdown passes to help the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Seattle Seahawks 21-16 on Sunday in the first regular-season game played in Germany. German fans packed Allianz Arena for the historic game and the Bucs delivered with a balanced offensive performance on three long scoring drives. Trailing 21-3, Seattle's Geno Smith threw touchdown passes to Tyler Lockett and Marquise Goodwin to make the score 21-16 with 3:58 to play. Lockett caught a 21-yard touchdown pass from Smith with 8:20 left, but the 2-point conversion try failed, leaving the score 21-9. Smith was 23 of 33 for 275 yards and the two touchdowns for the Seahawks (6-4), who are still atop the NFC West.

Tom Brady stayed undefeated abroad by throwing two touchdown passes to help the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Seattle Seahawks 21-16 in the first regular-season game played in Germany.

Tom Brady, for whatever reason, had his name called on a Tampa Bay Buccaneers trick play during Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. It didn't work out well.

It seems like the type of injury that will affect Kupp in the short-term at minimum, making this week's game's later start time possibly problematic for fantasy managers setting their lineups. LA hasn't allowed 15.0 fantasy points (0.5 PPR) to a running back who's not CMC this season. 3 in DVOA since Week 4 and has ceded the second-fewest YPC (3.8) this season, so Singletary could abnormally struggle this week. Even if fully healthy, he'd be in a tough spot on the road against a New England defense allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to running backs this year. Deon Jackson should be added in all fantasy formats and remains available in more than 65% of Yahoo leagues.

Brady was QB 18 in Week 7 and QB 16 in Week 6. He has had only one of his typically good games — versus the Chiefs in Week 4 (3 TD, 385 passing yards). About 60 percent of Yahoo leagues started Etienne in Week 7, a number that should rise into the 90s for Week 8. Now that the trade has materialized, we know how much the Jets hate Michael Carter, and we have renewed hope for Robinson's fantasy season. Week 8 isn’t a super-desperation bye week, but I think we’ll see more of these guys in starting lineups going forward.

Can we finally start Tony Pollard.

Two factors dominated this edition of the Fantasy Football Flashback, where we celebrate the accomplishments of the week's most reliable players. 2: Taysom Hill, QB/TE, New Orleans Saints, 34.08Hill is by far the unlikeliest name on this week's list. Going forward, Hill presents a major conundrum for fantasy managers, as he lacks the consistent usage to be an every-week fantasy starter but steals touchdowns from the more dependable Saints options. 3: Austin Ekeler, RB, Los Angeles Chargers, 33.90After two consecutive weeks on this list, Ekeler is definitely back to being a top-tier fantasy asset. The pressure was on the Chiefs star QB to deliver, and he did just that, throwing for 292 yards and four touchdowns.

Leonard Fournette scored two TDs for the Bucs (3-2) on a 1-yard run and a 1-yard reception. A boy ran onto the field after Fournette's first TD and was tackled hard by a security guard at the opposite end of the field. A week after rushing for over 200 yards in a three-point victory over Cleveland, the Falcons were outgained 297 yards to 89 overall in the opening half. He was 14-of-25 passing for 147 yards and one TD without an interception, but he was also sacked five times for 37 yards in losses. Brady led a pair of 13-play drives — one covering 88 yards and the other 84 — to build a 10-0 lead on Fournette’s TD run and Ryan Succop’s 21-yard field.

The Green Bay Packers held off Tom Brady's late-game surge to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 14-12, in a defensive bout at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday.

The league reprimanded two more players for their roles in the brawl between members of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New Orleans Saints in Week 2. The NFL fined Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette and Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore $13,367 each for unnecessary roughness, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Tom Brady, who jawed at Lattimore right before the brawl broke out, was not fined. When Lattimore yelled back at Brady, Fournette rushed in to defend his quarterback which then promoted receiver Mike Evans to run from the sideline and tackle Lattimore. However, the ramifications have greatly affected the Buccaneers, who were forced to sign veteran Cole Beasley to replace their depleted receiver corps.

Gabriel Davis could return this week, but Diggs looks like a weekly top-three fantasy WR regardless in the pass-heaviest offense in football. This matchup also has the second-highest total (53.5 points) of the week. Now he gets a Houston defense that's allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to running backs since the beginning of last season and 4.7 YPC this year. Bad weather contributed in Week 1, but Chicago is still by far the run heaviest team in football, and this week the Bears are home favorites. He's undervalued in DFS in a favorable matchup this week.

The touchdowns are coming soon, Leonard Fournette fantasy managers. Don't just take our word for it — the Buccaneers running back himself said as much when he apologized to his fantasy managers Monday morning. Of course, fantasy managers who spent a premium pick on Fournette (he was picked 21.2 overall in Yahoo leagues) may not want to hear all that. If the man says the touchdowns are coming, the touchdowns are coming! Here's the running back position — check out where Fournette and the rest of the RBs landed in our analysts' rankings for Week 3:powered by FantasyProsECR ™ -

Tampa Bay receiver Mike Evans has been suspended without pay for one game for his role in a scuffle that resulted in him and New Orleans cornerback Marshon Lattimore being ejected from the Buccaneers-Saints game.

If you drafted Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette in the second round of your fantasy draft, he's sorry about that. Fournette apologized to his fantasy managers Monday, promising touchdowns are coming soon. To my fantasy owners I’m sorry Touchdowns coming soon!!!!!!! — 7⃣ Leonard Fournette (@_fournette) September 19, 2022Fournette hasn't scored during the 2022 regular season, but he hasn't been bad either. Fournette is far from the only NFL player to recognize fantasy football managers.

Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans and Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore both were ejected for their involvement in a several-player, after-the-whistle scrap in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s meeting in the Superdome.

The Falcons are unlikely to be a good team overall this year. He handled 31% of the team air yards and the results were solid too, with 74 yards on five catches. So maybe we can get some air yards going CeeDee Lamb's direction. If we get that version of Barkley for 17 games he will join the Tier 1 of fantasy running backs with ease. He's going to look like a huge Round 2 reach — on several of my teams, by the way — if that doesn't change.

A rough night for Prescott got worse after his right hand struck a defender when throwing a pass in the fourth quarter. The Cowboys and Bucs had the top two offenses in the NFL last season, which started with Tampa Bay's 31-29 win at home over Dallas when Brady and Prescott combined for seven TDs passing. ROOKIE LINEMENDallas first-round pick Tyler Smith was the first rookie in franchise history to start an opener at left tackle. Dallas left guard Connor McGovern didn't return after injuring his right ankle on the first series. Tampa Bay left tackle Donovan Smith exited in the second quarter with an elbow issue and also was ruled out.

Tom Brady led Tampa Bay to a field goal on his first and only series of the preseason, but the Indianapolis Colts' backups rallied to beat the Buccaneers 27-10.

The Tennessee Titans must decide if rookie Malik Willis gets a second straight preseason start as he fights for the backup quarterback job.

Skylar Thompson threw for 218 yards and one touchdown to help the Miami Dolphins open the preseason with a 26-24 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette showed up to minicamp at nearly 260 pounds, according to the Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud. Stroud reported the news on his podcast "Sports Day Tampa Bay." "The last time we saw Leonard Fournette he was about a donut shy of 260," Stroud said. Tampa Bay drafted Arizona State running back Rachaad White in the third round of April's draft.

These are game-changing penalties for a selfish act.”Week 6 kicked off with a taunting penalty occurring in an important moment during a prime-time game, adding to the widespread scrutiny over the rule. Avery’s transgression seemed mild, so the NFL drew even more criticism for making taunting calls a point of emphasis this season. It leads to bad outcomes like players spitting at each other’s face, players throwing punches and fighting, players kicking and stomping one other. You can have fun, but you cannot get in another player’s face.

Linebacker Shaquil Barrett and tight end Rob Gronkowski, who came out of retirement 11 months ago to help Brady win No. 7 in his first season with the Bucs, are the latest players to agree to terms to stay with the team. Agent Drew Rosenhaus represents both players and confirmed the deals to The Associated Press on Monday. He signed a one-year, $4 million deal with Tampa Bay in free agency in 2019 and has 27½ sacks in 31 regular-season games since joining the Bucs.

(AP Photo/Brett Duke, File)TAMPA, Fla. – Tom Brady has agreed to a contract extension with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that provides the Super Bowl champions with much-needed salary cap relief and will help the seven-time NFL champion reach a goal of playing until he’s at least 45. The five-time Super Bowl MVP capped his first season with the Bucs by leading Tampa Bay to its first championship in 18 years. David’s contract, of which $20 million is guaranteed, includes voidable years that make it salary cap friendly.

The Buccaneers defeated the Chiefs 31-9 to win the Super Bowl. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are already thinking about what it’ll take to repeat as Super Bowl champions. If Brady, Arians and general manager Jason Licht have their way, Gronkowski, Brown and Fournette won’t wind up being one-season rentals. “Hopefully we can keep the band together, have an offseason and actually know what we’re doing (entering next season),” Arians said. It changed our entire football team.”AdBrady said Arians, who also has two Super Bowl rings as an assistant coach, deserves credit, too.

History was made, just as it always is, on a picture-perfect Sunday evening at the Super Bowl. Brady adding to his record with a seventh Super Bowl title, but with the long-suffering Bucs, not the front-running New England Patriots? That the Chiefs waded through all that to make it back to the Super Bowl was not all that big a surprise. Brady earned his fifth Super Bowl MVP award. It was, as much as anything, a nod to the new normal — life with coronavirus — meshing with the old normal — Tom Brady holding a Super Bowl trophy.

Gronkowski came out of retirement and signed with the Buccaneers after Brady bolted the Patriots last spring for a two-year, $50 million contract in Tampa after dominating the AFC for two decades. Brown caught a 1-yard touchdown pass from Brady that put the Buccaneers ahead 21-6 at halftime after TD grabs of 8 and 17 yards by Gronkowski. In leading Tampa Bay to its first title in 18 seasons, Brady became the first player to win seven NFL championships. AdAt 43, Brady became the oldest player ever to play in a Super Bowl. It wasn't all free agents and trade acquisitions who brought Tampa its second NFL title.

(Kyle Zedaker/Tampa Bay Buccaneers via AP)TAMPA, Fla. – Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won’t be denied.

You want to make some moves that hopefully get your team into the Super Bowl.

Even when COVID-19 numbers were spiking around the country, the Chiefs never experienced an outbreak traced back to their fans. AdThursday marked the final time talking to the media for the Bucs and Chiefs until after the Super Bowl. BRADY’S PORTUGUESETom Brady's six Super Bowl rings don't protect him from being trash talked in his own home. The fact that it will happen in the Super Bowl?

Kansas City and Tampa Bay have several starters, including some notable pass catchers, scheduled to become free agents next month. So the Super Bowl between the Chiefs and Buccaneers will serve as a farewell for several players with their current team. Brown signed a one-year, $1.6 million contract with Tampa in late October and has been a model citizen since. He has 45 receptions for 623 yards and seven touchdowns after signing a one-year, $9 million deal. He turned 34 last month and might be willing to sign another one-year deal to stay in Tampa.

Theres no retirement age in the NFL, and thats a good thing for Super Bowl-bound Kansas City and Tampa Bay. (AP Photo/File)There’s no retirement age in the NFL, and that’s a good thing for Super Bowl-bound Kansas City and Tampa Bay. The Bucs signed Brady, now 43, to a two-year contract that created a small Super Bowl window. Now, the Bucs get to face Kansas City at home — the first team in NFL history to play a Super Bowl in its normal venue. New England’s Bill Belichick is the oldest coach to win a Super Bowl.

But Gronk in particular has always been a big-play guy in big games for Brady, and Green Bay doesn't have linebackers who excel in coverage. Green Bay will do some blitzing, though not as much as Buccaneers defensive coordinator Todd Bowles figures to do. Unlike Brady, Rodgers can create outside the pocket, and he's especially dangerous when doing so. Veteran placekicker Mason Crosby is solid, making all 16 field goal attempts, but missed four PATs for Green Bay. Tampa Bay's Ryan Succop, now in his 12th pro season, made 28 of 31 field goal tries but missed five extra points.

The Packers defeated the Rams 32-18 to advance to the NFC championship game. When Rodgers’ Green Bay Packers (14-3) host Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers (13-5) in the NFC championship game Sunday, it will be just the fourth time they’ve squared off as starting quarterbacks, and first in the playoffs. “I’m excited about the opportunity to play against him one more time.”The Bucs trounced the Packers 38-10 in Tampa on Oct. 18. A win at Lambeau Field clinches their first Super Bowl berth since their 2002 championship season. “We play the Packers in the NFC championship game.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (13) celebrates his touchdown against the New Orleans Saints during the first half of an NFL divisional round playoff football game, Sunday, Jan. 17, 2021, in New Orleans. Don't forget Antonio Brown, who joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at midseason and has contributed to the team’s run to Sunday’s NFC championship game at Green Bay. Then there’s Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson, a couple of late-round draft picks roughly half the age of the 43-year-old quarterback. The more that I’ve been around Mike, Chris, Antonio, Scooter (Miller), Tyler, Mick (Jaydon Mickens) — the better it gets,” Brady said. Tyler makes a great catch,” Arians added.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady (12) works against the New Orleans Saints during the first half of an NFL divisional round playoff football game, Sunday, Jan. 17, 2021, in New Orleans. Brady and the Bucs' offense turned three of four Saints turnovers into touchdowns and Tampa Bay beat New Orleans 30-20 in the divisional round of the playoffs Sunday night. Brees’ 16-yard pass to Tre-Quan Smith put the Saints ahead 20-13, and New Orleans appeared primed to build on that lead when Brees found Jared Cook across the 50. WINSTON'S MOMENTJameis Winston, forced out of Tampa Bay when Brady became available, threw a 56-yard touchdown pass against his old team on a trick play. Saints: Deonte Harris, who returned the first Tampa Bay punt 54 yards to set up a field goal, left with a neck injury in the first half.

Aside from winning the final Super Bowl before the merger in 1970, the Kansas City Chiefs’ biggest claim to fame for over half a century was team founder Lamar Hunt coining the phrase Super Bowl. Three long-downtrodden teams — the Browns, Bills and Buccaneers — have made it to the divisional round this weekend and are certain they have as good a chance as the Chiefs, Packers, Saints, Ravens or Rams of winning Super Bowl 55. That’s heady stuff for a franchise that has never made it to the Super Bowl. I think Bills fans, including myself, didn’t think he was going to be this good this good this early. And he has proved a lot of people wrong.”No, there’s no comparing this Bills team to those of his playing days, Thomas said.

Now, after nine NFL seasons and little success on the field, the Jacksonville Jaguars owner is taking a more hands-on approach to fixing the franchise's most glaring problems. Khan is handling the search for his next coach and general manager mostly alone, with some help from Jaguars President Mark Lamping. “This time around, I think I have a much better sense myself,” Khan said Monday after firing coach Doug Marrone. “What's evaded the history of the Jags really has been a franchise quarterback,” Khan said. Khan kept Marrone in place after firing general manager Dave Caldwell in late November, but ultimately decided on a clean sweep.

The week before, Darnold led the Jets to a 24-22 win against the Dallas Cowboys.

Associated PressJACKSONVILLE, Fla. - One of the best teams out of the NFC, the New Orleans Saints will travel to Florida to play the Jacksonville Jaguars at 1 p.m. on Sunday. The Saints sit at the top of the NFC South with a 4-1 record and the Jaguars sit in third place of the AFC South at 2-3. New Orleans wide receiver Michael Thomas has brought in 45 catches for 543 yards this year. Fournette has 512 rushing yards this season.

The Broncos finally ended their sack drought, dropping Minshew five times, but suddenly they couldn't stop the run. That set up Lambo's second field goal, cutting Jacksonville's deficit to 17-6 at the half. Rookie tight end Noah Fant scored his first career TD on a 25-yard catch-and-run dumpoff from Flacco, who also hit Sutton for a first-half TD.

Mahomes picked apart what some believed is an elite defense, throwing for 313 yards in the first half and doing most of it without Hill.
