Jameis Winston
QB - New York Giants
Week 14 Outlook
Availability
Jameis Winston completed 18-of-36 pass attempts for 366 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, while also rushing four times for 13 yards and catching his only target for 33 yards and one touchdown in the Giants' 34-27 Week 12 loss to the Lions.
Fantasy Impact
Winston took advantage of an underwhelming Detroit defensive front, recording multiple touchdowns for the first time in two starts in place of the injured Jaxson Dart. The veteran signal-caller remains difficult for fantasy managers to trust if Dart remains sidelined, with a Week 13 matchup against the New England Patriots up next.
Jameis Winston will draw the start for the Giants in Week 12.
Fantasy Impact
With Jaxson Dart (concussion) being ruled out, Winston will start a second straight game for the Giants. In Week 11's loss to the Packers, Winston completed 19 of 29 passes for 201 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. He added 10 yards and a score on the ground.
Jameis Winston completed 19-of-29 pass attempts for 201 yards and one interception while also rushing three times for 10 yards and one touchdown in the Giants’ 27-20 Week 11 loss to the Packers.
Fantasy Impact
Winston turned in a forgettable performance in his first start behind center, turning the ball over twice at crucial times against the Packers. The veteran quarterback cannot be trusted if No. 1 signal caller Jaxson Dart (concussion) remains out for a difficult Week 12 matchup against the Detroit Lions.
Giants interim coach Mike Kafka said Jameis Winston will start at QB in Week 11 with Jaxson Dart in concussion protocol.
Fantasy Impact
With Brian Daboll fired, it only took one day for Winston to be elevated ahead of Russell Wilson on the depth chart. Winston will make his first start of the season with Jaxson Dart in the concussion protocol.
Jameis Winston has been elevated to the No.2 QB on the Giants and will start for the Giants if Jaxson Dart misses Sunday’s game due to a concussion.
Fantasy Impact
We’re back! While of course fantasy managers everywhere love Dart and his toughness and will to win, everyone would also agree that if they could pick, Winston is who they would want to start in Dart’s place, and that’s exactly what is happening. Sadly, Winston won’t have great weapons to throw to, but given his style of play via deep shots or peppering his top target, we could still see some fantasy goodness this weekend. Though to be fair, he’s facing the Packers.
