In Weeks 14 through 16, the Buccaneers take on the Detroit Lions, the Falcons, and the Carolina Panthers. Here is a look at where those three defenses ranked last season:
| Team | Rec Yards Allowed | NFL Rank | Rec TD Allowed | NFL Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detroit | 4,136 | 18th | 33 | 31st |
| Atlanta | 4,495 | 28th | 31 | 28th |
| Carolina | 4,561 | 29th | 27 | 20th |
Even if these defenses improve slightly this season, DeSean Jackson has performed well against mediocre pass defenses, according to the Rotoviz Game Splits App.
Jackson has averaged more than a point better in games against pass defenses in the bottom half of the NFL. Jackson is a decent value -- since he is being drafted 36th among wide receivers -- and his potentially high-scoring playoff schedule makes him even more of a target in drafts.
The Bucs wide receivers are looking at a friendly playoff schedule, so Mike Evans also qualifies for this category.
