Gambling911.com has your Bucs-Falcons Daily Fantasy NFL picks and betting odds for Week 8.

Atlanta is once again seeing heavy lopsided action this week as a -7 home favorite.  75% of those betting this game were backing the Falcons.  The total was high at 49.

The receivers will get a special look here as neither team can defend against this position. 

What to Consider for the Bucs:  Tampa has had its issues against opposing starting quarterbacks but is solid against opposing running backs. Likewise, they have been able to contain opposing tight ends.  The Buccaneers have yet to allow more than 43 yards to a tight end so far this season.  Tampa Bay ranks dead last against number one receivers and second-to-last against secondary receivers

What to Consider for the Falcons:  Atlanta gives up quite a bit of fantasy points to opposing receivers. 

Who to Play:

Mike Evans ($6.8K) – The Tampa Bay wide receiver will go up against this Atlanta defense that has had great issues this season defending against receivers.  In the second half of this past weekend’s game, Evans had five grabs for 90 yards.

Julio Jones ($9.2K) – Jones is a killer when it comes to price but facing off against this Bucs team that ranks dead last against number one receivers in 2015, he’s guaranteed to produce. 

Matt Ryan ($7.1K) - Ryan has enjoyed solid fantasy points production against Tampa Bay in recent years.
