Jameis Winston Fantasy

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (knee) said he plans to be ready for the Week 1 regular season opener on the road against the Atlanta Falcons. "Coach, if you needed me to strap it on right now, I'd be ready to go," Winston told former Lions and 49ers coach Steve Mariucci on Thursday. The 28-year-old tore his left ACL last year and was only able to play in seven games, throwing for 1,170 yards, 14 touchdowns and only three interceptions. Hopefully Winston can remain productive and avoid turnovers with new head coach Dennis Kelly taking over, and he'll have the chance to be even better with the return of wide receiver Michael Thomas and with the addition of first-round pass-catcher Chris Olave.

New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said the team's plan is for quarterback Jameis Winston (knee) to be the Week 1 starter. "We like the progress that he's making. Man I really loved a lot of the things he did last year for us," Allen said. "He's doing well in the rehab process. Jameis is probably one of the hardest workers that I've been around. He's just got a tireless work ethic and he loves football. That's his life. Everything is all about ball to him. He's working his tail off." The 28-year-old is working his way back from a torn left ACL suffered last year. Winston wasn't outstanding, but he looked good and limited turnovers as the starter last year before his injury, and his fantasy stock is rising with receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) set to return and with the addition of first-round pass-catcher Chris Olave.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston, who is heading into his second full season as the team's starter, said that he's focused this offseason on improving his intermediate accuracy. The former first overall pick tore his ACL in the middle of last season, but he's expected to be ready for training camp this summer and should start in Week 1, barring any setbacks. Winston had a career-best 102.8 passer rating with 14 touchdowns and only three interceptions before his injury in Week 8. The 28-year-old has the arm talent to win, and if he can improve his intermediate accuracy while continuing to avoid turnovers in 2022, Winston can be an attractive low-end QB1/high-end QB2 in fantasy while getting top receiver Michael Thomas back.
