Fantasy Football 2019: Thursday Night Football Start Em, Sit Em Week 2
By Gage Stagner
SIT ‘EM FOR WEEK TWO
Buccaneers Defense/Special Teams
This will not be a week to stream the Buccaneers defense. Carolina put up 27 points against the Rams last week and Tampa Bay should be faded this week for certain. Expect big things from the Carolina offense, as they look to pour it on the Bucs defense a week ago.

Tampa Bay Running Backs
This is more of an issue of game play and opportunity. While there was no clear lead back the first week, that situation shouldn’t clear itself up against Carolina. If we are guessing a game where Carolina will put up a lot of points, it won’t be Tampa Bay establishing a run presence to stay competitive. Avoid Peyton Barber and Ronald Jones at the flex this week completely.
Greg Olsen, TE, Panthers
This should be a big week for Carolina wideouts and that leaves little room for Greg Olsen to perform. There won’t be enough targets to go around, especially if Carolina gets ahead early and they lean on McCafferey to take the air out of the ball and put the Bucs away. Like I stated earlier, he popped up on the injury report too. Stay away from the veteran this week.
