Jameis Winston Fantasy

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 8 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will miss the rest of the season. Winston was always considered a one-year experiment and there are no guarantees after this season. The Athletic's Larry Holder doubts that Winston did enough prior to his season-ending injury to convince head coach Sean Payton that he can be the starter in New Orleans for the long term. Holder thinks the Saints will explore every avenue for a new QB in the offseason, potentially even considering trading for Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson. With Winston out the rest of the way, Taysom Hill is a strong candidate to take over under center once he clears the league's concussion protocols after missing the last two games.

The New Orleans Saints' worst fears about quarterback Jameis Winston (knee) became a reality Monday, as per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Winston has sustained a torn ACL, ending his season abruptly. Winston is also believed to have sustained damage to his MCL, further highlighting the damage that he took before leaving Sunday's win over Tampa Bay. In place of Winston, Trevor Siemian put together a strong effort, throwing for 159 yards and a touchdown. New Orleans also has Taysom Hill in the QB room, who after starting four games as a signal caller in 2020, could throw his name in the mix to start during the second half of the season as well.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (knee) suffered damage to his ACL in the Week 8 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he might also be dealing with damage to his MCL. The Saints believe that his injury is "significant," and he could be looking at a season-ending injury, depending on what test results reveal on Monday. Winston was brought down on an illegal horse-collar tackle in the first half and never returned to the game. Trevor Siemian filled in on Sunday, but Taysom Hill (concussion), whenever he's able to return from his head injury, should serve as the starting QB if Winston misses extended time or the rest of the season. New Orleans' offense could become even more run-centric with Hill under center in the future.
