2. WR Taylor Gabriel

Gabriel finally emerged as the no. 3 receiver in Atlanta this weekend, catching all 3 of his targets for 68 yards and a touchdown (12 points). The Buccaneers recently released one of their top corners in Johnathan Banks, and have been trying to find a solution to the third spot in the secondary.

After Vernon Hargreaves III and Brent Grimes, there is not much to be concerned about for the Bucs. We could see Gabriel prosper on Thursday, and he could score at least as many as points as he did last week for your fantasy football team. If you choose to pick him up, he is best in a FLEX spot, but could be considered for the WR2 position this week.
