Falcons vs. Buccaneers: Fantasy football projections Michael Turner, Roddy White, Josh Freeman
We break down the pertinent fantasy projections for the Week 17 matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sport
The Bucs had a fairly prolific offense this year with Josh Freeman returning QB1 value, Vincent Jackson ranking in the top 10 in standard leagues and Doug Martin having one of the better rookie seasons in a while.
The Bucs should be going up against the backups of Atlanta, so guys like Sean Weatherspoon might not get their full snaps. Doug Marin is a must-start player and Vincent Jackson should be able to be a very solid WR2. Freeman hasn't been consistent, but he's a strong start for any owner concerned about their QB getting rest.
Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons have the top seed locked up, so owners of players like Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Roddy White may want to look elsewhere. They should get some action, but just don't expect any monster days. Jacquizz Rodgers and Harry Douglas are interesting players to those that aren't confident in their usual starters.
