If you're digging deep for a streaming option, look no further than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

It's a little strange since we haven't seen the Bucs play yet due to Hurricane Irma forcing the NFL to reschedule their Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, but Tampa Bay gets a plus draw with a home game against the Chicago Bears.

In their season opener against the Atlanta Falcons, the Bears performed better than expected, but they could run into some trouble on the road. While quarterback Mike Glennon kept the Bears in the game, he did take 4 sacks and absorbed 10 quarterback hits, the second most in Week 1.

Last season, the Bucs defense ranked in the top 10 for total sacks and posted 17 interceptions, tied for the second most in the league.

Chicago currently has an implied team total of just 19.00, and the Buccaneers are listed as 6.0-point favorites. A widely available option in all leagues, Tampa Bay could be in for a big performance in this matchup.
