• Browns' Jameis Winston: Gutsy performance in gritty win

  14H ago • By RotoWire

  Winston completed 18 of 27 passes for 219 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and rushed three times for seven yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 24-19 win over the Steelers on Thursday night. He also lost a fumble and threw a two-point conversion pass. Winston braved increasingly deteriorating weather conditions throughout the hard-fought victory, and he ultimately led the Browns to an upset with the help of his leaping two-yard fourth-down touchdown run and subsequent two-point conversion pass to David Njoku early in the fourth quarter. Then, after subsequently losing a fumble that led to a Steelers touchdown and throwing an interception in Pittsburgh territory on the next two possessions, Winston responded by driving the Browns for a game-winning score with a nine-play, 45-yard march through the snow. While he finished with his lowest passing yardage total yet over his four starts, that was understandable given the weather, the fact he lost wide receiver Cedric Tillman to a concussion in the second half and a matchup against one of the league's most talented defenses. It doesn't get any easier for Winston and the Browns, as they travel to face the Broncos in a Week 13 Monday night matchup on Dec. 2.

• Browns' Jameis Winston: QBs to Sit

  2D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  We have a three-game sample size for Winston as the starter for the Browns, and he was excellent in two good matchups against Baltimore in Week 8 (29.6 Fantasy points) and New Orleans in Week 11 (30.6 points), but he struggled against the Chargers in Week 9 (12.1 points), which is a tough defense. He's facing another tough defense in Week 12 against the Steelers, who are No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing defenses. In the past two weeks, Pittsburgh has limited Jayden Daniels and Lamar Jackson to a combined 25.5 Fantasy points. This could be a rough game for Winston on Thursday night.

• Browns' Jameis Winston: Could be affected by weather Thursday

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Winston's pass attempts could be scaled back in Thursday's game against the Steelers with high winds and rain and/or snow in the forecast for Cleveland, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports. Winston attempted at least 41 passes in his first three starts since taking over for the injured Deshaun Watson (Achilles), with Winston dropping back on more than two-thirds of Cleveland's offensive plays. Thanks to the heavy volume, Winston accrued 395 passing yards and two touchdowns in this past Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints, but the unfavorable weather forecast for the Week 12 game could prompt the Browns to lean more heavily on their Nick Chubb-led ground attack.

• Browns' Jameis Winston: Adds/Streamers (QB Preview)

  3D ago • By Heath Cummings

  I hate the matchup for Winston, but he's averaging 23.4 FPPG since he took over as the starter, and there are six teams on a bye, so he's pretty clearly the second-best streamer behind Richardson. He's thrown at least 41 passes in three straight games, and he's averaging more than 300 yards per game. You may want to hide your eyes for the first three quarters, but even if the Steelers trounce the Browns, Winston can save the day in garbage time.

• Browns' Jameis Winston: Week 12 Waiver Priority List

  3D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Winston's upcoming schedule is brutal with matchups against Pittsburgh twice (Weeks 12 and 14), Denver (Week 13) and Kansas City (Week 15), but he's proven capable of big outings and plenty of volume since taking over for an injured Deshaun Watson (Achilles). He scored at least 29.6 Fantasy points in two of three starts, and he attempted at least 41 passes in each contest against Baltimore, the Chargers and New Orleans. In deeper leagues, Winston is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.
