Jameis Winston Fantasy

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston replaced an injured Derek Carr (concussion, shoulder) in the third quarter of Sunday's loss against Minnesota. Winston ignited the offense, immediately pioneering a touchdown drive after being inserted into the game. The veteran ended up completing 13-of-25 passes for 122 yards with two scores and two interceptions in the loss. Winston will likely revert back to the bench after New Orleans' bye week, as Carr expects to be able to return.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (undisclosed) exited Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings with an apparent upper-body injury. He went into the medical tent before being carted to the locker room, though the team didn't provide immediate information on his status. At the time of his departure, he had completed 13 of 18 passes for 110 yards. He also took two sacks. In the meantime, Carr was replaced by Jameis Winston. There isn't a major drop-off in talent from Carr to Winston, so fantasy managers invested in the likes of Chris Olave, Alvin Kamara, or Taysom Hill shouldn't be too worried.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston will likely be under center on Sunday with Derek Carr (shoulder) yet to practice this week. Winston played the second half of last week's loss to Green Bay and while he was efficient and didn't turn the ball over, he also did not put any points on the board. He gets a shot at a revenge game this week as the Saints take on Tampa Bay, who selected Winston first overall in the 2015 NFL Draft. The Tampa defense has been middle of the road against quarterbacks, allowing 17.7 fantasy points per game throughout the first three weeks. Winston is a low end QB2 this week.
