Jameis Winston Fantasy

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston completed 11 of 22 passes for 111 yards, a rushing score, and two interceptions in Sunday's 26-7 loss to Carolina. Winston struggled all day against the Panthers' underrated defense, which chased him for four sacks and the two picks. The gunslinger didn't have much time to look downfield, as he was pressured on 18 of his 28 dropbacks, though he didn't do himself any favors. Winston and the Saints are better than what they showed in Week 2- but it won't get any easier in Week 3 against Bill Belichick and the Patriots defense.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston draws a favorable matchup in Week 2 against the Panthers as he attempts to follow up his five-touchdown performance from Week 1. Winston diced up the Packers secondary, a unit that allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to signal-callers, for five scores, adding 37 yards with his legs, and will get to face a Carolina defense that surrendered the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks in 2020. It's tough to completely trust the former number-one overall pick for fantasy purposes given his turnover-filled past, though there's a chance that head coach Sean Payton has already helped Winston find a better version of himself. Fantasy managers can turn to Winston for low-end QB1 production in Week 2.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston went 14-for-20 for 148 yards and five touchdowns in Sunday's dominating win over the Packers. Winston looked sharp in his first regular-season action since 2019. The QB who is normally known for picks went flawless in that department and that was an encouraging start to his Saints debut. As long as Winston can make the most of the team's limited weapons, he should certainly remain in the fantasy conversation, though not as a weekly starter until we see a bigger sample size in which he performs well. Up next is a matchup against the division rival Panthers.
