Jacksonville Jaguars

Allen Hurns/Allen Robinson (Wide Receivers): Hurns and Robinson should destroy the Buccaneers secondary; both players are putting up ridiculous numbers for Jaguars. Hurns seems like the better option as he will not face the Buccaneers top defensive back but both of them could have a big day especially with Julius Thomas still injured. Hurns and Robinson are high ceiling flex options or even WR2's this week.

Blake Bortles (Quarterback): Bortles has had a pretty good season fantasy wise some may even say better than Cam Newton, but Bortles needs to show how consistent he can be and he is getting an opportunity to do that while utilizing his strong wide receiving corps. Bortles should not be started unless you are in a 12+ team league or are having bye week issues. Bortles could be a nice spot start.

TJ Yeldon (Running Back): Yeldon should have no problem on the ground against these Buccaneers. Yeldon has been carrying the offensive load on the ground and has a great matchup this week. Yeldon could be an RB2 in week 5.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Mike Evans/Vincent Jackson (Wide Receivers): Jackson has been more consistent and has looked like the more dangerous weapon in this offense. Evans has yet to really establish a connection with Winston and that is troubling to everyone who spent a second or third round pick on him. Evans has a great matchup but could bust if Jackson gets a couple of catches early. Jackson is a WR2 this week and Evans is a flex play.

Doug Martin/Charles Sims (Running Back): Martin exploded last week finally giving owners some value. Sims has been encroaching on some of his snaps however this is just because he is the passing down running back. The Buccaneers are down a lot in games so Sims catching a lot of passes only makes sense when the Buc's are down. There is a good chance Tampa leans on Martin to run the ball effectively early on in this game. Martin for week 5 is an RB2/flex and Sims is just a flex play.
