Tampa Bay Buccaneers Daily Fantasy Spin
Buccaneers safety Tykee Smith (knee) and wide receiver Kameron Johnson (ankle) will both miss Sunday’s game against the Giants. Christian Izien will likely fill in for Smith at nickel back this weekend.
Tampa Bay starting left tackle Tristan Wirfs (knee) is doubtful to play this weekend. Justin Skule is listed as the team’s backup left tackle on the depth chart.
Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean (hamstring), cornerback Troy Hill (ankle), cornerback Zyon McCollum (hamstring), wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring), and defensive tackle Greg Gaines (foot) are all listed as questionable to play on Sunday.
New York Giants Daily Fantasy Spin
The Giants demoted and eventually released starting quarterback Daniel Jones earlier this week. New York will start Tommy DeVito at quarterback on Sunday with Drew Lock backing him up. DeVito went 3-3 straight up with a QBR of 23.7 in 6 starts for the G-Men last season.
New York linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (wrist), linebacker Micah McFadden (heel), wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton (Achilles), wide receiver Malik Nabers (groin), and linebacker Darius Muasau (hamstring) are all officially listed as questionable to play on Sunday.

Buccaneers vs. Giants Betting Prediction:
Tampa Bay has lost 4 games in a row, all to good teams. The Buccaneers lost to the Ravens by 10, the Falcons by 5, the Chiefs by 6 (in overtime), and the 49ers by 3. Prior to that, Tampa Bay was 4-2 straight up with outright wins over Washington, Detroit, and Philadelphia. They’re facing a New York team that just cut a player who was supposed to be their franchise quarterback.
And instead of elevating his backup (Drew Lock) to the starting role, they elected to make the third-string QB (Tommy DeVito) the starter. The most likely explanation is that the Giants aren’t trying to win games for the remainder of this season. If that’s the case, then Tampa Bay is the easy pick. The Bucs and QB Baker Mayfield are still fighting hard, and they should feast on a team that’s already looking forward to next season. I’d lay the points with Tampa Bay in this one.
