Giants' Jameis Winston: Back to backup role
Winson is positioned to operate as the No. 2 quarterback behind Jaxson Dart, who cleared the concussion protocol Thursday, versus the Patriots on Monday Night Football.Jameis Winston kept the New York Giants competitive in both of his starts while Dart was unavailable, though New York ultimately lost by one score to the Packers in Week 11 and in overtime to the Lions in Week 12. Across those two games, Winston completed 37 of 65 pass attempts for 567 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also rushed seven times for 23 yards and another score. While Winston will now revert to the bench, bumping Russell Wilson down to the No. 3 role, he remains a high-upside backup stash in fantasy formats that allow multiple starting quarterbacks.

Giants' Jameis Winston: Two TD passes, TD catch in OT loss
Jameis Winston completed 18 of 36 passes for 366 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 34-27 overtime loss to the Lions. He added four rushing attempts for 13 yards and had a 33-yard touchdown reception.Winston capped the opening drive with a 39-yard touchdown pass to Wan'Dale Robinson on a flea flicker and led the New York Giants to their first 10-point lead after the first quarter since Week 9 of 2020. Winston restored the 10-point lead by making it 17-7 with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Hodgins in the second quarter. The Giants' offense cooled off in the second half until Winston broke out of a tackle attempt to score a 33-yard receiving touchdown thrown by Gunner Olszewski on a trick play with 12:16 remaining in the fourth quarter. Winston was picked off on the following possession as the Lions scored the game's final 17 points to stymie the Giants' upset bid. Despite providing a spark with his athleticism and aggressive approach, Winston has lost both of his starts, so he'll likely cede the Week 13 starting role to Jaxson Dart (concussion) if Dart clears concussion protocol in time to face the Patriots on Monday Night Football.

Giants' Jameis Winston: Likely set for No. 2 QB role Sunday
With Jaxson Dart (concussion) "trending to play" against the Lions on Sunday, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, Jameis Winston is expected to serve as the New York Giants' No. 2 quarterback in Week 12.Winston took over the starting role for this past Sunday's loss to Green Bay and did fine, completing 19 of 29 passes for 201 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. However, there was never any doubt that Dart would resume starting duties when cleared to do so, and he appears to be in line to return against Detroit after returning to practice (albeit in a non-contact capacity) Wednesday. The rookie signal-caller remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, however, and in the unlikely event he's unable to be cleared by Sunday, Winston would be in line for another start.

Giants' Jameis Winston: Serviceable in spot start
Jameis Winston completed 19 of 29 passes for 201 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while adding three rushes for 10 yards and a touchdown in the New York Giants' 27-20 loss to the Packers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.Called on over Russell Wilson for a Week 11 spot start in place of Jaxson Dart (concussion), Winston delivered a competent performance and had the Giants in contention for an upset until throwing a late end-zone interception that appeared to be caused by the intended receiver cutting his route short. Winston otherwise displayed virtually no rust despite not having played all season prior to Sunday, and he connected with six different targets overall. Dart may be ready to return for next Sunday's Week 12 road showdown against the Lions, but Winston would step in again should the rookie need another week to clear concussion protocol.

He's spent the 2025 campaign so far operating as the Giants' emergency No. 3 quarterback.

Giants' Jameis Winston: Trending toward Sunday's start
Jameis Winston is expected to draw the start at QB for the New York Giants against the Packers on Sunday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports.Per the report, Jaxson Dart -- who is in the NFL's concussion protocol in advance of Wednesday's practice -- seems unlikely to play this weekend, and if he's sidelined, Winston rather than Russell Wilson would be in line to draw the start against Green Bay. Winston thus represents an option for those in QB-friendly fantasy formats, or who are otherwise in need of signal-caller depth ahead of Week 11 action.
