Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Doug Martin (Running Back): Martin has one of the best running back matchups in week 2. He faces a New Orleans defense that has a ton of holes and could not stop the run in week 1. Martin is only hindered by his offense and his offensive line. The Buccaneers could be down early in this game and that could cause them to abandon the rushing game. Martin however on paper is an RB1 in this matchup.
Mike Evans (Wide receiver): Evans is slated to start in Sunday's game so he should be ready to torch the Saints secondary. Winston did not have Evans available to him in his first game and maybe that was the reason the offense was so sluggish. If Winston struggles again then Evans may have a rough day, however for now if he is healthy he is a WR2 with WR1 upside.
Vincent Jackson (Wide Receiver): Jackson should play second fiddle to Evans when he returns. Jackson could be a bigger red zone threat than Evans but expect Seferian-Jenkins to get some of those targets as well. Jackson is a WR3 for this contest.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins (Tight End): ASJ had a huge game last weekend coming in as one of the highest scoring tight ends in fantasy football. ASJ could see some of his targets taken away with Mike Evans coming back but ASJ should dominate the red zone.
New Orleans Saints
Brandin Cooks (Wide Receiver): Cooks has one of the best matchups for wide receivers this week. He slumped in his first game, but that was the against a stingy Cardinals defense. This week he will have an opportunity to have a big game against a struggling Saints defense. Cooks is a strong WR1 this week.
Brandon Coleman (Wide Receiver): Coleman is the 2nd wide receiver in this Saints offense. Brees relies on his size on 3rd down situations. Coleman has not shown up in the red zone like a bigger target normally would but he has an opportunity to break out against Tampa Bay.
Benjamin Watson/Josh Hill (Tight End): Both tight ends struggled in their first game as the Saints main tight end. Both were targeted in the red zone but never came away with a touchdown. Brees didn't throw to them with the volume that he did to Coleman and Cooks so it is unlikely they will have an impact this week.
Drew Brees (Quarterback): Brees should have a good performance against a struggling Buccaneers defense. If Brees cannot get something going against the Bucs it is time to hit the panic button on the Saints season. Brees is a QB1 in week 2.
Mark Ingram/ Khiry Robinson (Running Back): Ingram and Robinson were the most effective running backs in the Saints offense. Ingram was huge in the passing game and was featured prominently. Ingram will have a great matchup especially in PPR leagues. He will be an RB1 for this matchup. Robinson should be the change of pace back and is a decent flex option.
