TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Cincinnati Bengals

Jameis Winston had another 300-yard effort in his second start, but had three turnovers in the process. He also didn't record a passing touchdown (although he did run for one while getting 55 yards on the ground). Winston has played well since taking over as the starter, and should continue to put up big numbers.

He gets a great matchup this week against the Bengals who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing QBs. This game could turn in to a high-scoring contest due to both teams having bad defenses. Cincy has allowed five 300+ yard games in 2018, and Winston has 300+ yards in his two starts, so signs are pointing to a big day. He's a low-end QB1 play.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Cleveland Browns

As expected, Jameis Winston had a big day last week against the Falcons' poor defense. He finished with 395 yards and four touchdowns (with two interceptions). He even added a nice 29 yards on the ground. It was a promising showing for his first start of the season.

He gets a surprisingly tough matchup this week against the Browns who have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing QBs this season. But don't let that scare you too much. Cleveland has allowed 300+ yards twice (and a 298-yard game) this season, so there's room for success. We like Winston as a QB1 this week against the Browns.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Atlanta Falcons

Jameis Winston is officially back as the Bucs' starting QB. We haven't seen him in a full game yet, but before the bye week he played limited action and looked fine. He had one score and two turnovers, but coming in off the bench is hard to get much information from.

What we do know, is Winston has a great matchup coming off of an extra week of preparation. The Falcons have allowed 3 touchdown passes to QBs in four straight games while allowing an average of 329 passing yards in those games. Winston has enough weapons to keep that streak going, and he's in the QB1 discussion this week.

TB QB Jameis Winston - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Jameis Winston started last year on a hot streak, as he had three straight games of 300+ passing yards before getting injured the next game, but then bounced back with another 300-yard game. If we discount games where he left early, Winston had 19 touchdowns in 11 games (plus 1 rushing score), giving him pretty solid production while he played.

He still has a great supporting cast around him in Mike Evans, DeSean Jackson, O.J. Howard, and Cameron Brate. If he can continue to put up similar numbers to last season, he should end up being a top QB option.

Fantasy Downside

The obvious thing holding Winston back is his three-game suspension to start the season. The Bucs’ bye comes in Week 5, which means Winston will miss most of the start of your fantasy season, and that’s a difficult start to overcome if you invest too much in the Bucs’ QB. There’s also his huge problem of holding on to the ball, as he had 18 turnovers in 13 games last season (and some of those games he left early).

2018 Bottom Line

Winston was fantastic when healthy last season, and he comes into 2018 with better surroundings. An improved offensive line and rushing attack are added to an already impressive receiving corps. Once Winston is eligible to play, he should be a great start. But his ADP takes a huge hit because of the suspension, meaning you should wait to take him until near the end of your draft.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. New Orleans Saints

Jameis Winston played mostly well last week, completing 21-of-27 passes for 367 yards and a touchdown. But he lost 3 fumbles in the process, which takes away the touchdown depending on your scoring settings. Turnovers have always been Winston's problem as he has 15 in 12 starts this season (and two of those games he left early due to injury).

For the most part, Winston has had a pretty strong season, but he'll get a tough test this week against the Saints. New Orleans is good at forcing turnovers (17 interceptions, tied for the fourth-most) and could cause trouble for Winston. He should be viewed as a low-end QB1 due to his potential upside.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Carolina Panthers

Jameis Winston had another solid outing last week, throwing just shy of 300 yards (299) with 3 touchdowns and surprisingly no turnovers. Since returning from injury, Winston has played fairly well, averaging 285 yards with multiple touchdowns in each of the three games.

He'll get a tough task this week, however, as the Panthers can be difficult to pass against. Winston found this out earlier with one of his worst performances of the season. In Week 8 against Carolina, Winston finished with 210 yards, 0 touchdowns, and 3 turnovers.

He should perform a bit better than that this week, but it will still be a tough matchup for him. Especially since he lost O.J. Howard and could also be without DeSean Jackson. He's more of a QB2 play this week.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Jameis Winston had another solid outing last week, throwing for 285 yards with 2 touchdowns. But in his typical style, he also added three turnovers to his game, which took away from a lot of the good he did.

This week he gets a fairly tough matchup against the Falcons. He was injured the last time the Bucs played against Atlanta, but Tampa Bay didn't have much success in that game, finishing without a passing touchdown.

Winston is only an okay option this week, outside of QB1 territory.
