Ian Rapoport is reporting Jameis Winston is the "leader in the clubhouse" for the Saints starting quarterback spot.

Rapoport said it wasn't just about piling up stats in the game against Jags recently. Rapoport showed a video with throws Winston made, claiming "Drew Brees hasn't been able to make in years." Winston also made the kind of big plays HC Sean Payton "has been dying see," according to Rapoport. Rapoport added if Winston starts, Hill would do similar "gadget stuff" like he's done in the past, which could certainly limit Winston's upside, much like it did with Brees at times last year.

“I think [Marquez Callaway]’s just an incredible football player,” Jameis Winston said. “I mean, the guy was undrafted, right? Who missed out on that guy? I’m happy that we were able to get him. It speaks volumes of our organization and how they see talent."

The Saints have been without wide receivers Thomas and Smith this summer due to injuries, but Callaway, you can argue, has been one of the most talked about WRs in summer camp this season - maybe even right up there with the Jets Elijah Moore. Callaway played on all 10 of the team's first 10 snaps as well, according to some of Tuesday's tweets. Callaway probably isn't an unknown anymore. But he's ranked 55th on our WR list and is available late in drafts. At this point, he certainly looks like he's worth the late-round pick.

It’s still too soon to say who wins the New Orleans Saints quarterbacks competition, but Sean Payton hopes to have his answer sooner rather than later. NBC Sports’ Peter King reports that a lot is riding on Jameis Winston’s opportunity to run the starting offense on Monday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars, following Taysom Hill’s time with the starters a week ago in Baltimore. King wrote:

“Payton told me he hopes to name his starter before the final preseason game Saturday against Arizona, so Winston’s performance with the first team for multiple series will be the most important game he’s played since he lost his job in 2019 in Tampa Bay.”

The story went on to say: Unlike Hill, Winston should get full exposure with the strongest members of his supporting cast — Payton said last week that the team plans to dress several starters who sat out the preseason opener like Alvin Kamara and bookend tackles Terron Armstead and Ryan Ramczyk. The Times-Picayune Advocate’s Jeff Duncan adds that the Saints are approaching this as “their big preseason tuneup” with most starters expected to rest in the preseason finale with Arizona. At this point, it looks like it could be Winston's job to lose.

And this was quick: Former Falcons’ standout Devonta Freeman and the Saints now have reached agreement on a one-year deal, per his agent @DrewJRosenhaus. Freeman reunited with his former college teammate, Jameis Winston.

This is an interesting signing for New Orleans, but Devonta Freeman joins a backfield led by Alvin Kamara with backup Latavius Murray and Dwayne Washington, and Ty Montgomery already vying for playing time. This could be a move to get Kamara more slot time with Michael Thomas out, but for now, Freeman isn't fantasy relevant.

The #Texans are signing QB Tyrod Taylor to an incentive-laden contract, similar to what Cam Newton and Jameis Winston agreed to in recent days, per source. It can be worth up to $12.5 million, but the base value is less than half that. Solid backup money, and more if he plays.

Jameis Winston reached agreement on a one-year deal worth up to $12 million with the Saints, per league source.

Winston will compete with Taysom Hill for the QB1 job in New Orleans. Whoever wins the job will likely post starter-caliber fantasy numbers, so best ball drafters could draft both late and get top-12 numbers out of the duo. From a regular redraft standpoint, this situation is going to be a headache until a winner is named.

Sean Payton won’t switch course from Taysom Hill after two wins in two starts. He still wants to see how Hill handles the job. And as stated earlier, the game plan shifted to ball control once Denver needed a practice squad wide receiver to play quarterback.

Payton said Hill played exactly how he wanted him too. Hill was only 9-for-16 for 78 yards through the air, but did have 10 carries, 44 yards and two touchdowns. And, Hill is 2-0 as the Saints starting quarterback. While Latavius Murray had a big day, the usual suspects like Thomas and Kamara had their fantasy production hurt by Hill, so those owning Saints may need to use some caution when figuring out lineups. But it also sounds like the Saints changed up their game plan knowing the struggles the Broncos would have at QB.

Saints QB Taysom Hill will start Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Hill took all the starter reps at practice this week. Jameis Winston will back up Hill.

Hill was also the player who received more money from the Saints this offseason. This is not official, but Schefter is giving us a huge piece of the Week 11 fantasy puzzle with this news.
