TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 3, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Los Angeles
After a strong Week 1, Jameis Winston had a massive letdown against a tough Cardinals defense in Week 2. The Bucs quarterback had five turnovers and only 243 yards on 52 pass attempts. It was an ugly performance that only got uglier as the game went on.

We don't expect a performance like that for the rest of the season. We think Winston will bounce back in Week 3, but still not to the point where we like him as a strong QB1 play. He gets a difficult matchup against the Rams, which makes him a middle-of-the-road option for Week 3.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Arizona
Jameis Winston doesn't appear to be headed for a sophomore slump. The second-year quarterback exploded in Week 1 with four touchdowns on 281 yards passing. When the people around him are all healthy, there's no limit as to what Winston can do.

Winston's hot start will be put to the ultimate test this week against Arizona. The Cardinals have plenty of talent in the secondary, and will be one of the toughest defenses Winston will face this season.

We still think the Bucs QB to have a decent day, but we're not expecting a redo of Week 1. Winston is a middle-of-the-pack quarterback this week.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 1, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Atlanta
Jameis Winston had a great rookie season, surpassing 4,000 passing yards and finishing with 28 total touchdowns. Six of those touchdowns came on the ground, and two of those six came against the Falcons, Winston's Week 1 opponent in 2016.

Obviously there's no guarantee Winston will run in a score this week, but it is interesting that he had a ground TD in each of his games against Atlanta. His passing numbers against the Falcons weren't great, but he's had a year to develop and could improve on his stats. There's a lot to like about Winston, even though he doesn't have the best matchup. He'll be a low-end QB1 play this week.

TB QB Jameis Winston - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Jameis Winston played really well as a rookie last year, going for over 4,000 passing yards along with 22 passing touchdowns and six scores on the ground. Logic says as he develops another year, his play will improve, which bodes well for the quarterback who ranked 13th at his position last season.

He finished 2015 strong, averaging more yards per game in his final eight starts, scoring more touchdowns and throwing less interceptions. Helping him grow along the way is his receiving duo of Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson, one of the best 1-2 punches in the league.

Fantasy Downside
The Buccaneers offensive line was one of the worst units last season and they lost veteran Logan Mankins to retirement. His replacement -- J.R. Sweezy -- is a step down, and they didn’t do a whole lot to improve that area. Their hope is the two rookies they started last season will continue to progress, but we have to see it first.

The six rushing scores were a big factor in Winston’s final production, and it’s something that will be difficult to replicate in 2016. Winston is not a running quarterback, and it’s unlikely those numbers will stay that way.

Bottom Line
While he does have good starting talent around him, there isn’t a whole lot of depth for the Bucs. If Evans or Jackson suffers an injury, the receivers behind them don’t offer a whole lot. But as it stands, there’s a lot to like about Winston heading into his sophomore season. He has a shot to finish in the top-10 at his position, and you can get him later on in drafts.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 17, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Carolina

Jameis Winston has had a great rookie season, considering the troubles he's had to go through, but don't expect him to do well this week. He'll face a very tough Panthers defense that gave him fits earlier in the season.

Winston threw four interceptions in his first outing against Carolina in Week 4. He's improved since then, but this will still be a tough matchup for the rookie. We expect him to be a poorer option at QB this week.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 16, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Chicago

There are some things in fantasy that you just can't predict, and Jameis Winston going for a career-high 363 yards last week against the Rams is one of them. The rookie QB had 50 pass attempts in the game, which is another career high.

We expect Winston's numbers to drop from a week ago, but we still like him a lot in a favorable matchup against Chicago. The Bears allowed Teddy Bridgewater to have a monster game last week (5 TDs), and overall the Bears have struggled this season against QBs. Winston should be viewed as a low-end QB1 play this week.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 15, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at St. Louis

Jameis Winston was a major letdown last week as he finished with only 182 yards and one touchdown against the league's worst pass defense. Part of the reason is his second receiver, Vincent Jackson, left the game with injury, but it's still surprising to see such low numbers.

Winston will get a harder task this week as he faces St. Louis. The Rams were one of the toughest teams against the pass, although in the last three games they've allowed seven touchdowns to QBs. Still, we expect Winston to be a much lesser option at QB this week.
