Offense:
Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 96.3
For the second consecutive week, Fitzpatrick makes our Team of the Week, this time on the back of an incredibly solid effort against the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles. He completed 27-of-33 passes for 402 yards and four touchdowns with four big-time throws to tie for the NFL lead in Week 2. He didn’t throw a turnover-worthy pass all game long and after two weeks of play, Fitzpatrick is the NFL’s highest-graded quarterback with a 98.8 overall grade.
Defense:
Ryan Smith, Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 88.6
Targeted five times in coverage, Smith allowed just one reception for a mere two yards against Philadelphia. He also came away with three pass breakups and finished the game having allowed a passer rating of 39.6 on throws into his coverage.
Justin Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 88.9
Evans was a standout in coverage in the Buccaneers win over the Eagles and while he allowed two receptions on throws where he was the primary defender in coverage, he also had two pass breakups. A second-round draft pick in 2017, this was the highest-graded game of his career so far.
