Jameis Winston NEWS
Jameis Winston Still Not 100 Percent Healthy
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (ankle, back) still isn't 100 percent healthy heading into the Week 8 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to a source. It remains to be seen how much practice Winston will be able to get in this week ahead of Sunday's game, but if the Saints aren't comfortable throwing him out there, Andy Dalton will most likely make his fifth straight start. Head coach Dennis Allen hasn't named a starter for this weekend, but it will likely depend on Winston's health. Dalton threw two pick-sixes in last week's loss to the Arizona Cardinals, and Winston hasn't played since Week 3. Whoever starts under center this week will be hoping to get receivers Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) back.
Oct 26, 2022 • 4:09 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston Active, Won't Start In Week 6
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back, ankle) will be active for the Week 6 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, Winston won't start and will serve as the emergency quarterback for this game. The plan is for Winston to get fully healthy before getting him back on the field. Having Winston as the backup prevents the team from having to cut a player if they'd brought up a quarterback from the practice squad. Andy Dalton will remain the starter for at least one more week in New Orleans.
Oct 16, 2022 • 1:51 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston Gets In Another Limited Practice
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back, ankle) was able to get through a limited practice session on Thursday. The 28-year-old has been limited in each of the last two practices. It sounds like Winston is going to give it a shot on Sunday, but Friday's practice will go a long way to making a final decision. Winston hasn't been great this season, so he won't be an ideal streaming option against the Cincinnati Bengals. He'll be a QB2 for this one, assuming he's even able to suit up.
Oct 14, 2022 • 4:13 AM | RotoBallerJameis Winston Back At Practice Wednesday
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (ankle, back) returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the last two games. Winston has been battling through four small fractures in his back in addition to an ankle injury, but the fact that he's back at practice to begin the week is a good sign that he could return to action in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals at home. However, he could be without receivers Michael Thomas (foot), Jarvis Landry (ankle) and Chris Olave (concussion) if he returns on Sunday. Winston has gone 73-for-115 for 858 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions in three games so far in 2022. If he returns against Cincy, he'll be in play as a low-end QB2 option in fantasy lineups.
Oct 12, 2022 • 7:54 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston, Marcus Maye Officially Inactive Sunday
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back) and safety Marcus Maye (rib) are officially inactive for Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks. Winston, who had been listed as doubtful, amassed 858 passing yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions throughout the first three games of the season. Andy Dalton will start a second consecutive game in Winston's absence. Meanwhile, Maye hasn't played since Week 2. He has 13 tackles and one forced fumble to his name thus far.
Oct 9, 2022 • 4:24 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston Doubtful To Play In Week 5
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back, ankle) has been listed as doubtful for the team's Week 5 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Winston was unable to practice all week and was sidelined in Week 4 with the same ailments. Head coach Dennis Allen has already announced that veteran Andy Dalton will draw his second straight start on Sunday, but Winston's doubtful designation gives him an opportunity to be active as a backup. Whether or not Winston is active should have no impact on fantasy gamers, who should make any decisions on Saints players with the knowledge that Dalton will be under center.
Oct 8, 2022 • 1:15 AM | RotoBallerStill No Practice For Jameis Winston
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (ankle, back) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday after he was inactive in last week's loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London. Unless Winston is able to get back out on the practice field on Friday, it's looking likely that he'll miss his second straight game in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks. The 28-year-old is trying to recover from four small fractures in his back, in addition to an ankle injury. Veteran backup Andy Dalton went 20-for-28 for 236 yards, one touchdown and a lost fumble in last week's loss to Minnesota. Dalton will only be an option for fantasy managers in need to a QB option in superflex leagues if he makes another start under center for the Saints.
Oct 6, 2022 • 11:22 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston Misses Practice On Wednesday
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back, ankle) was held out of practice on Wednesday after missing the team's Week 4 contest. Winston is dealing with a number of injuries and should be considered highly questionable to suit up in Week 5. If he is forced to miss a second consecutive game, veteran Andy Dalton will take over QB1 duties for New Orleans once again. Fantasy managers should monitor Winston's status throughout the week before deciding to start any of the Saints' offensive weapons.
Oct 5, 2022 • 11:08 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston Downgraded To Out In Week 4
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back, ankle) was listed as doubtful on Friday but has now been declared out ahead of the team's Week 4 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Winston did not practice all week, so this news comes as no surprise to the Saints, who will also be without star wide receiver Michael Thomas (foot). Andy Dalton will start in place of the injured Winston, which is likely a downgrade for the offensive weapons in fantasy. New Orleans will hope to have Winston back for a Week 5 bout with the Seattle Seahawks.
Oct 1, 2022 • 10:17 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston Doubtful For Week 4 Against Vikings
New Orleans quarterback Jameis Winston (back, ankle, hip) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. The 28-year-old was dealing with multiple injuries and did not practice this week. Andy Dalton is line to start Sunday's game against Minnesota and will be without top wideout Michael Thomas (foot), who was just ruled out. On Sunday, Jarvis Landry and Chris Olave will be the red rifle's top targets. Dalton signed a one-year deal this offseason to back up Winston. The 34-year-old threw for 1,515 yards and an 8:9 TD: INT ratio over eight games with the Bears in 2021. Dalton can be used as a streamer against a Vikings defense that ranks 26th in pass DVOA.
Sep 30, 2022 • 1:55 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston, Michael Thomas Not Practicing
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (ankle, back, hip) and wide receiver Michael Thomas (toe) were not seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. The expectation was that Winston would return to practice after being a DNP on Wednesday, so his and Thomas' availability for the Week 4 game in London against the Minnesota Vikings is up in the air. If Winston is unable to go Sunday, Andy Dalton would get the starting nod under center. The Saints are hopeful that Winston can return on Friday. He's dealing with four fractures in his back in addition to an ankle and hip-flexor injury. If Thomas is unable to suit up, Jarvis Landry (ankle) and rookie first-rounder Chris Olave would have much bigger roles in the passing game, although Landry's status could be in question as well.
Sep 29, 2022 • 4:04 PM | RotoBallerSaints Expect Jameis Winston To Play In Week 4
New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen "doesn't think" there is a concern about quarterback Jameis Winston's (ankle, back) availability for the Week 4 game in London against the Minnesota Vikings. Winston did not practice on Wednesday, but Allen anticipates that Winston will return to the practice field on Thursday. Andy Dalton handled first-team reps at practice, and if Winston were to suffer a setback, he'd likely start under center for the Saints. Winston clearly isn't 100 percent, although he did throw for 353 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions in the Week 3 loss to the Carolina Panthers. If he suits up this Sunday in London, he'll be a midrange QB2, at best, for fantasy managers.
Sep 28, 2022 • 4:12 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston Is A Risky Option For Week 4
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston has struggled through the first three weeks of the regular season. Despite that, head coach Dennis Allen plans on sticking with Winston through the rough times. Honestly, the Saints don't have many better options with Andy Dalton and Taysom Hill as the other choices at quarterback. Winston has four touchdowns and five interceptions with 858 passing yards through three games. He's clearly battling through injuries, which is hurting his performance. It's hard to imagine Winston having much fantasy value while he's still banged up. He might be worth using in two quarterback leagues, but remains a risky choice for the Week 4 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
Sep 27, 2022 • 10:22 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston To Remain The Starter
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back) will remain as the starting QB, according to head coach Dennis Allen. Winston threw for 353 yards and one touchdown during the loss to Carolina on Sunday. However, the signal-caller had two picks while completing only 61% of his attempts. In all fairness, a back issue is currently plaguing the 28-year-old, and he was without receivers Jarvis Landry (ankle) and Michael Thomas (foot) for much of the contest. Nonetheless, although Winston's job appears to be safe for now, it may not be if the team continues to struggle, potentially opening the door for Andy Dalton or Taysom Hill to eventually replace him down the line.
Sep 25, 2022 • 11:45 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston Officially Active For Week 3
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back) is officially active for Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable. Winston struggled against the Buccaneers last week, tossing just one touchdown and three interceptions. Still, he has a chance to get back on track in a favorable matchup versus the Panthers and should be viewed as a mid-range QB2 this week.
Sep 25, 2022 • 4:14 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston Expected To Play Sunday
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back) had been listed as questionable but is expected to play against the Carolina Panthers in Week 3, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Winston tossed a pair of touchdowns back in Week 1 but struggled mightily last week, getting picked off three times by the Buccaneers. He lacks reliability but should be viewed as a mid-range QB2 this week thanks to his favorable matchup.
Sep 25, 2022 • 12:49 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston Draws Questionable Tag
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (ankle, back) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers after being limited in practice all week. It was announced just before last week's kickoff that Winston was playing with four small fractures in his back, and he picked up an ankle injury in the loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It looks as though the 28-year-old will suit up again this weekend, but fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting a ton from him after he threw for 236 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions last week. While playing well below 100 percent health, Winston is a low-upside, midrange QB2 for fantasy managers.
Sep 23, 2022 • 10:56 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston Gets In Limited Practice
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (ankle, back) was listed as a limited practice participant for Wednesday's session. Head coach Dennis Allen said that Winston's reps will be managed heading into Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers. Before the Week 2 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a report surfaced that Winston was playing through four fractures in his back. He didn't look good in the loss either, throwing for 236 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions on 40 attempts. It won't make him very attractive as a midrange QB2 in fantasy heading into Sunday's meeting with the Panthers.
Sep 21, 2022 • 11:57 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston Active Sunday Despite Back Fractures
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back) is active for Week 2 despite being listed as questionable. FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports that Winston has four fractures in his back and is in a lot of pain, but he has no risk of suffering further damage. With Alvin Kamara (ribs) sidelined and a tough matchup with the Buccaneers on tap, the Saints could look to pass more on Sunday, leading to greater fantasy upside from Winston. He ranks as a mid-range QB this week.
Sep 18, 2022 • 4:33 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston Expected To Play In Week 2
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back) is expected to play on Sunday against Tampa. The veteran is dealing with a back injury, although fortunately, he should be good to go. Winston had a strong fantasy showing during the season-opener against Atlanta, finishing with 269 yards and two touchdowns while completing 67.7% of his throws. Nevertheless, with Alvin Kamara (ribs) not forecasted to suit up, Winston may be throwing more than usual, which is an ideal situation for Michael Thomas, who looked fantastic in Week 1.
Sep 18, 2022 • 6:18 AM | RotoBallerJameis Winston Draws Questionable Tag Against Bucs
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back) was limited in practice all week and is officially listed as questionable for the Week 2 game against his former team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite the questionable tag, Winston is expected to play on Sunday in the divisional clash. Running backs Alvin Kamara (ribs) and Mark Ingram II (ankle) are both questionable, but Winston will have his top three receivers available in Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry and rookie first-rounder Chris Olave. Winston went 23-for-34 for 269 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He'll look to continue building chemistry with his receivers, but the matchup against Tampa's D isn't an easy one. Consider the 28-year-old signal-caller to be a high-end QB2.
Sep 16, 2022 • 10:13 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston On The Week 2 Injury Report
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (back) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday with a back injury, which is why he went into the injury tent in the Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The Saints don't sound too worried about Winston's injury after he went 23-for-34 for 269 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in the season-opening come-from-behind victory. Barring a setback on Thursday or Friday, the 28-year-old should make the start in Week 2 against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa's defense shut down a mediocre Cowboys offense in Week 1 and will be bringing plenty of pressure against Winston this weekend. He'll be a midrange QB2 for fantasy managers in Week 2.
Sep 14, 2022 • 11:24 PM | RotoBallerJameis Winston Returns To Practice
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (foot, knee) returned to practice on Sunday for the first time since injuring his foot nearly two weeks ago. The 28-year-old was already recovering from an ACL tear when he suffered the foot injury but is reportedly healthy enough to participate in 7-on-7 drills again. The Florida State product was gaining steam early in the season before the injury occurred and seems like the best choice to lead this offense in 2022. Winston may be cautious about taking off and running early in the year, limiting any rushing upside he may possess while making him more of a weekly streaming option.
