Tier One Spotlight: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

"The Buccaneers 45-20 drumming of the Las Vegas Raiders isn't even the most impressive thing they did this week. While acquiring disgruntled veteran Antonio Brown poses risk, the reward on this team is far to great to ignore. Brown walks into Tampa and is instantly the best wide receiver there, which is insane given the names already in the locker room. They are now easily the favorites to come out of the NFC."

Tier Two Spotlight: Miami Dolphins

"The Dolphins remain stagnant in my ranks during a bye but why do I insist on talking about them you ask? It's simple, this coming weekend we have an opportunity to see rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa make his debut. It won't be a cake walk against Aaron Donald and the Los Angeles Rams but something tells me the rook will shine on Sunday."

"The Cowboys defense is atrocious and their offense moving forward doesn't look like it'll be that much better. Good luck to rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci behind a tattered offensive line."
