Rumors and buzz builds over deals in the NFL. Yahoo Sports’ Frank Schwab, Jay Busbee, Jori Epstein and Eric Edholm each weighed in on trades they want to see in the coming days.

    Bucs' Pass Rush Meets Kyle Pitts in Strength-on-Strength Clash The Bucs' pass rush is on a tear, but Kyle Pitts has been a problem for Tampa Bay in a strength-on-strength matchup against Atlanta.

    Emanuel Wilson Gives the Rumor Mill Something to Chew On Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson had a productive performance in Sunday night’s win over the Kansas City Chiefs, giving the rumor mill one usable update. The rumor mill has one usable update: Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson had a productive performance in Sunday night’s win over the Kansas City Chiefs. That's the whole plot. No stat line was provided, so fantasy managers get the performance note and the mystery box. Keep Emanuel Wilson on the radar, but don't pretend the source handed us more than it did.

    Fantasy matchup board: Buccaneers standouts, Moton setback and Raiders receiver health Against the Panthers in Week Seven, three players stood out for the Buccaneers at Bank of America Stadium, while Taylor Moton's return to the Panthers lineup was short-lived and the Raiders are getting healthier at receiver. The matchup board has four signals worth tracking. Against the Panthers in Week Seven, three players stood out for the Buccaneers at Bank of America Stadium. That's the cleanest production flag in this group, so those three players deserve a closer fantasy look. The bigger lineup issue is in Carolina: Veteran right tackle Taylor Moton's return to the Panthers lineup turned out to be a short-lived one.

  10. Podcaster Pete

    That change matters for the Panthers' offense and its matchup outlook. The Raiders offer the clearest receiver update: The Raiders are getting healthier at receiver. That's the roster angle to monitor before setting lineups. Detroit also has a coaching-news checkpoint, with Tim Twentyman covering all the key questions from Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell's Monday press conference.

    Minnesota's Defense Is the Fantasy Roster Angle Minnesota is gaining ground ahead of its NFC North showdown with Detroit, but Minnesota has one of the NFL's worst offenses and a defense playing at a historically dominant level. Minnesota is gaining ground ahead of its NFC North showdown with Detroit. My fantasy-football roster angle: Minnesota's defense, not Minnesota's offense. Minnesota has one of the NFL's worst offenses and a defense playing at a historically dominant level. The 2015 Broncos provide a blueprint, but there are reasons to be skeptical.

    The 2-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers return home from a rousing and critical intra-division win at Carolina in Week Seven and dive right back into NFC South competition in Week Eight with a visit from the 3-4 Atlanta Falcons. The Buccaneers' victory over the Panthers evened the all-time series between those two teams at 26 each, and now they can do the same thing in their shared history with the Falcons, who own a 33-32 all-time edge in the head-to-head battle. The Bucs' offense produced 258 rushing yards against Carolina, their second outing with 240-plus yards on the ground in the last three weeks, but will face a sturdy Atlanta run defense.

  17. Fantasy Frank

    The Falcons are coming off their own impressive win at home against the previously-undefeated San Francisco 49ers, in which Michael Penix threw three touchdowns and no interceptions and the Atlanta defense picked off red-hot Niners quarterback Brock Purdy twice. With the Panthers' holding just a slim division lead at 3-3, Sunday's game at Raymond James Stadium will be extremely important for both teams trying to stay in the division race.
