Buccaneers hint QB Jameis Winston did enough to get job back

Oct 01, 2018

Dirk Koetter indicated Jameis Winston did enough to earn his job back.

"Probably," Koetter said. "But we'll worry about that for a different day."

Fantasy Impact:

The story was mainly about how Winston is likely at a crossroads in his NFL career. Winston says he wants to raise his three-year-old son the right way and is getting married to his fiancee. But a letter from the NFL threatened a potential ban from the league for violating the personal conduct policy again. As for Fitzpatrick owners, his job as the starter is certainly in jeopardy. The Bucs have a bye in Week 5, so owners have some time to adjust their plans going forward.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

The Eagles list QB Jalen Hurts as DNP on their estimated practice report because of a concussion, putting his status for this weekend in doubt.

Things aren't trending well for Hurts, as fantasy managers should be looking for a Championship Week back-up as soon as possible.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
