1. Cameron Brate Surging at the Right Time

Cameron Brate has become a nice red-zone option for the Buccaneers. This past week, Brate caught two red-zone touchdowns from Jameis Winston and helped fantasy owners win their weeks.

Brate and the Buccaneers get the Ravens this week, which is certainly no picnic. But Brate provides a nice cushion for Winston when the pressure forces the ball out quickly.

Brate has 11 red-zone targets for 8 catches and 6 touchdowns. Despite his 14.9% red-zone target share for the year, a number that's bogged down from sharing time with the now-injured O.J. Howard, Brate is seeing red-zone looks at the right time -- read: near the goal line -- and doing well with his opportunities.

In the wasteland that is tight-end, Brate has a nice opportunity to be TE1 in the playoffs even though the Bucs' schedule is a tough one.

2. Spencer Ware Loses Touchdowns but Still a Red Zone Weapon.

In Week 13, in his first game as the Kareem Hunt-replacement for the Kansas City Chiefs, Spencer Ware scored a red-zone touchdown.

Then in Week 14, Ware was in and out of the lineup due to various injuries and surrendered two red-zone touchdowns to Damien Williams. And despite that, Ware was still heavily involved in the game, racking up 129 total yards on 20 total touches (15 carries).

Overall this year, Ware has 12 red-zone rushing opportunities and is handling 21.4% market share, despite a crowded offensive juggernaut. In his two weeks since taking over for Hunt, Ware has 14 and 15 carries (Week 13 and 14), and in Week 14, he added 5 receptions for 54 yards.

He’s an easy RB2 play if healthy for Thursday, and he's a solid red-zone option for KC when they get in close.
