TB QB Jameis Winston - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Jameis Winston hasn’t been a great IRL quarterback, but he provided fantasy users with some big games last season. His production is difficult to gauge since he’s been benched or replaced someone so many times, but in the 20 games over the past two seasons with 25+ passes he has averaged 19.4 PPG. He threw for 300+ games in five of his nine starts in 2018, proving he can take advantage of the weapons surrounding him.

Fantasy Downside

Per usual, Winston struggled again with turnovers last season. He had 17 turnovers in 11 games played, tying for the third-most interceptions in the league (14). Since joining the league in 2015, Winston has thrown for the second-most interceptions (58) despite missing time due to injuries/benchings.

2019 Bottom Line

Winston has a very high ceiling for 2019 with the arrival of Bruce Arians. The Bucs’ new coach seems committed to having Winston at QB, and has brought out a lot of good fantasy seasons in other quarterbacks. Winston has plenty of talent around him in Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, OJ Howard and Cameron Brate. We’ve seen plenty of talent from Winston since joining the league, but he’s never seemed to fully put it together. Maybe the arrival of Arians can lead to some great things. Winston can be viewed as a lower-end QB1 option, and since he’s going in the double-digit rounds it makes him somewhat of a value selection.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Jameis Winston snapped out of his slump ... kind of. He finished with 336 yards which was good, but finished with just one score and two turnovers last week. Turnovers have always haunted Winston who has 16 of them in 10 appearances this season (and most of those games he didn't even play all the way through).

He'll face the Falcons this week, a team he threw for 395 yards and four touchdowns against earlier in the season. We like him at the low-end of QB1 territory in Week 17.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Dallas Cowboys

Jameis Winston had a season-low 157 yards (in a game he started and finished) with no scores and an interception. This isn't too surprising considering the matchup, but it's now two games in a row where Winston has produced well below his averages. Don't be surprised if he struggles again this week in a tough matchup against the Cowboys. Dallas is allowing the eighth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, which puts Winston just outside of QB1 territory.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Baltimore Ravens

Jameis Winston struggled last week in what seemed to be a good matchup. He finished with a season-low 213 yards (in a game he started and finished) while scoring twice and throwing an interception. He did add 47 yards on the ground as he's now led the Bucs in rushing two weeks in a row. He's actually the team's second-leading rusher.

Expect another poor outing from Winston this week as he takes on the Ravens. Baltimore has one of the toughest defenses in the league, allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing QBs. Winston is outside of QB1 territory and closer to QB2 range.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. New Orleans Saints

Jameis Winston finished with 249 passing yards, two touchdowns and incredibly no turnovers. The usually turnover-prone Winston has now gone two games in a row without giving the ball to the other team, which might actually be a career best. He also led the team in rushing with 48 yards on the ground as he continues to have a strong season when he finishes games.

He gets a favorable matchup this week against the Saints, who are allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to QBs. The Bucs torched New Orleans in the first game of the season (417 yards, 4 touchdowns), but that was with Ryan Fitzpatrick at the helm. Still, we like Winston as a strong QB1 this week.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Carolina Panthers

In every game Jameis Winston has started and finished (which is amazingly only three), he's had over 300 passing yards. The Bucs have so many weapons on offense, and a week running game, so it makes sense why their quarterbacks continue to have success in fantasy.

Winston didn't play against the Panthers earlier this season, but when Ryan Fitzpatrick did, he scored four times against them. Carolina has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to QBs in 2018, so gathering everything we know, Winston should be a strong QB1 this week.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Guess who's back. Back again. Jameis is back. Tell a friend.

After being benched for being so bad earlier in the year, the Bucs decided Ryan Fitzpatrick was worse and have turned back to Jameis Winston. He played mop-up duty last week and put up good numbers, completing 12-of-16 passes of 199 yards and two scores. The Bucs' QBs have been great for fantasy this season, but bad in real life, which is truly a remarkable feat.

With that said, Winston can be viewed as a QB1 this week in a favorable matchup vs. the 49ers. Unless he turns the ball over a lot, he should finish the game as the team's QB.
