Jameis Winston Fantasy

The New Orleans Saints will likely see star quarterback Drew Brees retire after this season, and they would like to bring Jameis Winston back. The Saints hardly played Winston at all this year, even when Brees missed time with rib and lung injuries, but they liked what they saw from him in practices this year. Winston still has a strong arm and the skills that made him the No. 1 overall pick out of Florida State, but he'll need to prove that he can improve his decision-making process if he's to return in New Orleans and take over when Brees inevitably retires. The 27-year-old signed a one-year deal to learn behind Brees in 2020, but there's a chance that they bring him back if they aren't sold on Taysom Hill being the starter under center in the post-Brees world. If Winston re-signs and becomes the starter in 2021, he'll have QB1 upside and will likely come at the cost of a QB2.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston was placed on the COVID-19 list Sunday, which will keep him out of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Winston was expected to serve as the backup quarterback to Drew Brees, but it looks like Taysom Hill will wind up in that role. It's unclear yet if this will have any impact on the game itself happening, but the assumption should be that the Saints/Chiefs game happens as scheduled.

New Orleans quarterback Jameis Winston is under center for the team to start the third quarter. Drew Brees (shoulder) had a shoulder injury coming into the game, but he played the entire first half and completed eight of his 13 passes for 76 yards and a touchdown. Winston might be slated to play the entire second half against the San Francisco 49ers if he's able to play effectively. Brees began the second half standing on the sidelines with his helmet on, so he could still return if Winston struggles.
