Mike Glennon, Vincent Jackson's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 5

Scott PolacekOct 5, 2014

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers handed over the starting quarterback reins to Mike Glennon in Week 4, and it paid dividends for Glennon and Vincent Jackson owners in fantasy football Sunday.

Here is a look at the final stats for both:

Passes19-of-32
Passing Yards249
Passing Touchdowns2
Interceptions1
QB Rating91.8

Glennon and Jackson connected for 144 yards through the air against the New Orleans Saints Sunday. It was a welcome sign for Jackson owners, who are probably frustrated with his lack of yardage thus far (Jackson only had 134 receiving yards in the team's first four games).

Glennon hit Jackson for a touchdown pass against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4, and there seems to be a connection here. Tampa Bay does not have a lot of formidable receiving options outside of Jackson, especially with Mike Evans injured, so if Glennon continues to look his way, it could mean plenty of fantasy points for both players.

Considering the Buccaneers were dead last in the NFL entering play Sunday in passing yards (largely because of Josh McCown’s struggles), there is nowhere to go but up for the aerial attack. That is likely why Glennon is targeting his top receiver, which is good news for fantasy owners moving forward.
