Here are the five best fantasy options for the game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

Of all the games on Sunday, the game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Arizona Cardinals is one of the more intriguing ones. The Cardinals are coming off of a tough loss at home to the New England Patriots, while the Buccaneers are coming off of a huge win on the road against the Atlanta Falcons. Jameis Winston was awarded NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts.

A game like this offers plenty of weapons and that is great for fantasy players. Both offenses have plenty of dynamic players and this is a game where fantasy points are going to rack up quickly. These are the five best plays this week.

5. Vincent Jackson

If there is one area the Cardinals are going to struggle for a while, it’s the second cornerback spot. Brandon Williams is a rookie starting opposite Patrick Peterson and he’s learning in a trial-by-fire situation. He made some good plays, but he also made some bad ones last week like a rookie would. That means if he’s lined up on Vincent Jackson, the veteran is going to have a big day.

4. Carson Palmer

Carson Palmer had a decent first week against the New England Patriots. This week, he might be even better, as the Cardinals were finally moving the ball late in the game. If he can get the deep pass rolling this week, he could have a huge day for fantasy points.

3. Larry Fitzgerald

Larry Fitzgerald is an absolute machine for the Cardinals. He had two more touchdowns last week for Arizona. Palmer is going to continue targeting him and he’s going to continue to put up numbers. This is a safe play here.

2. David Johnson

Despite limited touches, David Johnson had over 130 yards from scrimmage this past week. He also scored a rushing touchdown. Expect the Cardinals to feed him even more and let him run wild. He could have a monster day on the ground.

1. Jameis Winston

After four touchdown passes last week, the NFC Offensive Player of the Week could have a big week if the Arizona defense doesn’t solve their issues. He has many favorable reads he can make on some inexperienced members of the secondary.
