Best of the Week

  • Tristan H. Cockcroft: The matchup and the likely game script (a Browns lead in the second half) portend a strong game for Jerome Ford, who should be the clear lead back over D'Onta Foreman in this situation.

  • Mike Clay: Devin Singletary's Week 2 success came against a suspect Commanders defense after he fell flat in Week 1. He's played on a massive 75% of Giants snaps so the opportunity is there, but the matchup is tougher, so he's a flex play this week.


Denver Broncos vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -6.5
Locks: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET


Over/under total: 40.5 (11th highest)
FPI favorite: Buccaneers by 7.9, 69.1% to win outright
