Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 402 yards and four touchdowns to go along with one interception in a Week 2 win against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Huddle Up: Fitzpatrick is the first quarterback in league history to start out a season with back-to-back 400-yard, four-touchdown games. Facing a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that just gave up six touchdown passes to Patrick Mahomes in Week 2, Fitzpatrick is shaping up to be a strong fantasy and DFS option again. With Tampa Bay rolling right now, it's hard to believe he'll be handing the starting job back to Jameis Winston when he is eligible to return from his suspension in Week 4.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Ryan Fitzpatrick went 21-for-28 for 417 yards and four touchdowns against the New Orleans Saints in Week 1. He also rushed for 36 yards and one touchdown on 12 carries.
Huddle Up: Fitzpatrick did not appear to be a great option for owners entering Week 1, but he had one of the best performances of the week. He will start at least the next two games but will have tough matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is still in line to start in the team's Week 1 opener in place of the suspended Jameis Winston even though fellow QB Ryan W. Griffin has had a strong preseason, according to head coach Dirk Koetter.
Huddle Up: Fitzpatrick will be useful only for Weeks 1-3 in two-QB leagues while Winston serves his disciplinary suspension.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is expected to start Week 1, according to head coach Dirk Koetter.
Huddle Up: Fitzpatrick has some weapons at his disposal, and the Bucs play the New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers in the first three games. Maybe he can be a matchup play in Week 3 if something crazy happens to your starter, but he doesn't have a lot of upside.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Ryan Fitzpatrick went 27-for-44 for 283 yards against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12.
Huddle Up: Fitzpatrick has thrown for at least 275 yards in each of the last two games and will remain as the starting quarterback as long as Jameis Winston is sidelined. He is scheduled to face the Green Bay Packers in Week 13 and could be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in deeper leagues if he starts.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 22 of his 37 pass attempts for 275 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Week 11 win against the Miami Dolphins.
Huddle Up: The Bucs had no run game to speak of, so it was up to Fitz to produce and he did. He had scoring strikes to O.J. Howard and DeSean Jackson and eluded the pressure, getting sacked just once. Still, he remains more of a QB2 heading into Week 12 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Ryan Fitzpatrick completed eight of his 15 pass attempts for 68 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints.
Huddle Up: Fitzpatrick came on in relief of the injured Jameis Winston (shoulder), and he also ran for 30 yards on three carries. It's uncertain if Winston will be ready for Week 10, but if not Fitzpatrick might have a chip on his shoulder if he starts against his former team, the New York Jets.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 22 of his 32 passes for 290 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions after taking over for QB Jameis Winston (shoulder) in a 38-33 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6.
Huddle Up: Winston said he expects to return against the Buffalo Bills in Week 7, but if Fitzpatrick is forced to make a start, he showed he can at least play well enough to keep Tampa Bay's other fantasy options relevant.
