Fantasy Impact
Vita Vea missed practice all week and was listed as doubtful coming into tonight’s contest. Vea’s absence should provide a significant boost to Saquon Barkley’s fantasy prospects in Week 11. The Buccaneers are still a stout run defense without Vea but are truly one of the better units in the league when he is healthy and clogging up the middle. More of a pressure-creating, space-eater who excels against the run than a sack artist, Vea has been more DT3 than DT2 this season but was on sack watch against Daniel Jones and the Giants.
