Bucs say they're not considering benching QB Jameis Winston

Oct 14, 2019

After Jameis Winston's latest disaster (five interceptions and two fumbles against the Panthers in London), Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians says he is not considering sending Winston to the bench, nor did he consider doing so during the game.

"No. I look at the reasons why. What happened?" Arians said, via ESPN.com. "If it happens again, yeah, it'll concern the hell out of me."

Fantasy Impact:

The story said this is Winston's second meltdown of the year, when he had three INTs and two fumbles against the 49ers in Week 1. Winston has thrown multiple interceptions in 17 of his 60 career starts, as well as one of his two career appearances off the bench. While the fantasy potential is there week-to-week, owners are also at risk with the turnovers.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
