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.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Detroit Lions

Jameis Winston returned last week and had a solid outing, throwing for 270 yards with 2 touchdowns and no interceptions (although he did have a fumble). He now has multiple-touchdown performances in four of his seven games he's started and finished, and averaged 295 yards in those games as well. That's pretty solid for a fantasy QB.

He'll look to continue his success this week in a favorable matchup against Detroit. The Lions have allowed the sixth-most passing yards in the league, which means Winston should have no problem finding his targets. The Bucs QB can be viewed as a low-end QB1 this week.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Green Bay Packers

Jameis Winston returns this week after missing the last three games with a shoulder injury. Before his exit, Winston was playing quite well with multiple 300-yard games. However, his injury and time away make him a bit of a risk this week against the Packers.

Still, it's a favorable matchup for Winston. Just last week, Green Bay's defense allowed Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger to throw for over 300 yards and 4 touchdowns. That performance just goes to show that Green Bay's pass defense is nothing special.

Winston should be viewed as a low-end QB1 option this week.

TB QB Jameis Winston - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at New Orleans Saints

Jameis Winston was a mess last week, throwing for just 210 yards with no touchdowns and three turnovers. Prior to this game, he was throwing for 300 yards and multiple touchdowns with ease, but that is no longer a certainty.

He could bounce back this week, but this Saints defense has actually been very impressive this season. New Orleans has held opposing passers to no passing touchdowns in four of their last five games.

On the other hand, though, these are two very high-powered offenses and this game has a chance to become a shootout. We like Winston as a low-end QB1 play this week.
