Jameis Winston Fantasy

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston rewarded fantasy owners who stuck with him in Week 15 after his terrible Week 14 performance. Winston threw for 458 yards and four touchdowns in the Bucs win over the Detroit Lions. The fifth-year quarterback also threw an interception, which is expected at this point. Even without his two top receivers available for most of the game, Winston was able to dominate. He will slot in as a mid-range QB1 against the Houston Texans in Week 16.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (thumb) is officially active for Week 15 against the Detroit Lions. Winston wasn't able to throw a football in practice until Friday, though he was able to finish off last week's 456-yard, four-touchdown performance with the injury. Winston has a great chance to stay hot against Detroit's suspect pass defense. Fantasy owners must beware the risk- Winston can be erratic even without a fractured thumb.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (thumb) has improved enough that he is throwing a football in practice on Friday. The ball was leaving Winston's hand nicely on short and intermediate throws. Winston fractured his thumb in the Week 14 win over the Colts, but it looks like he's going to give it a go in Week 15 against the Lions in an excellent matchup. While he still has QB1 upside against Detroit's weak secondary, Winston will be more volatile for fantasy owners because of the injury and the fact that Mike Evans, his top receiver, is out for the rest of the season.
