Washington Redskins
Jordan Reed (back) wasn’t listed on the Redskins’ final injury report for Week 10 against the Buccaneers. Reed’s status for Sunday’s game was never in doubt. Tampa Bay’s defense has been nonexistent all season, so this is probably as good a matchup as Reed will ever get. The 28-year-old didn’t show much during the first half but at a thin fantasy position, he’s still in play as a starter in most leagues.
Tampa Bay Bucs
Mike Evans (knee) wasn’t listed on the Buccaneers’ final injury report for Week 10 against the Redskins. The Bucs removed him from the injury report after he was upgraded to full participation at Friday’s practice. Going against a Redskins secondary that was just torched by Julio Jones, Evans will be a rock-solid WR1 when he takes the field in Week 10.
NFL Betting Trends
Washington
The under is 4-1 in the Redskins’ last five road games and 5-1 in their last six games versus an opponent with a losing record.
Tampa Bay
The under is 10-4 in the Bucs’ last 14 home games but the over is 8-1 in the Bucs’ last nine games overall.
Prediction
The Redskins are one-dimensional offensively if Adrian Peterson isn’t gashing opponents. He gained only 17 rushing yards a week ago against the Falcons, who held the Redskins to only a pair of touchdowns in a rout. The Bucs own the worst defense in the NFL but they rank 15th in run defense so if they can slow AP then this game stays under.
