Sean Payton says Jameis Winston’s injury “significant”

Oct 31, 2021

Saints HC Sean Payton said QB Jameis Winston’s knee injury is “significant”

Fantasy Impact:

Winston was carted off during Sunday’s win against the Buccaneers and Trevor Siemian took over with Taysom Hill inactive. NFL Network’s Jane Slater recently reported she is hearing it’s an ACL injury, which would end Winston’s season. Very unfortunate for Winston who was trying to build his value back up and earn himself a nice contract next season. Now he’ll be coming off what looks to be a very serious injury. For now, perhaps expect either Siemian or going back to Hill for the time being. The Saints are 5-2 and just a half-game behind Tampa Bay in the NFC South.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
