    Giants' Jameis Winston: Benched in Week 6 loss

    Jameis Winston completed 14 of 26 passes for 152 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions before being benched in favor of J.J. McCarthy during Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Saints.After Winston's second INT of the game in the fourth quarter, he got the hook and watched McCarthy nearly lead a comeback from a 34-10 deficit. The performance by McCarthy could well earn him his first start as a Giant in Week 7 against the Texans, or coach John Harbaugh could stick with Winston for another week until re-evaluating the situation during the team's Week 8 bye. If Winston is back under center, he'll be sporting a 7:5 TD:INT through five games

    Giants' Jameis Winston: Throws for 326 and three TDs

    Jameis Winston completed 33 of 54 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 27-27 tie against the Commanders. He also rushed five times for 27 yards and lost a fumble.The New York Giants struggled on the ground for most of the game and played from behind after Washington scored a touchdown two minutes into the game, so Winston racked up impressive volume, including 20 targets to Malik Nabers and 13 to Isaiah Likely, who had 11 catches apiece for a combined 215 yards and three touchdowns. Winston connected with Likely from three yards out in the third quarter before throwing a 17-yard touchdown apiece to Likely and Nabers in the fourth quarter as the Giants came back from a 19-6 second-half deficit. Both teams had a chance to win it in OT, but the Giants had a missed field goal and fumble in field-goal range, while Washington countered with a time-management snafu in the final seconds that resulted in a tie, which brings New York's record to 3-1-1 ahead of a Week 6 home game against the Saints.

    Giants' Jameis Winston: Clicks with Nabers in win over Cards

    Jameis Winston completed 18 of 29 passes for 250 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 36-24 win over Arizona.It was a classically erratic performance from the veteran QB, who now has a 3:3 TD:INT through three appearances and two starts in place of Jaxson Dart (knee). Winston began to build some encouraging chemistry with the New York Giants' No. 1 wideout Malik Nabers, who produced a season-best 6-112-1 line on seven targets fueled by a couple big gains, and his tendency to put the ball up for grabs downfield could continue to benefit both Nabers and rookie Malachi Fields, whose two catches went for a 12-yard TD and a 40-yard gain. Winston will try to produce more good moments than bad in a Week 5 road tilt against the Commanders.

    Giants' Jameis Winston: Retaining starting job

    Head coach John Harbaugh reaffirmed that Jameis Winston is the New York Giants' starting quarterback after the team acquired J.J. McCarthy from the Vikings on Monday, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.While stepping in for the injured Jaxson Dart (knee) in Week 3, Winston threw for just 118 yards on 22 pass attempts in adverse weather conditions during the Giants' 12-7 win over the Titans. Despite his pedestrian numbers, Winston played turnover-free football, and that performance looks as though it will give him some job security even after the Giants added McCarthy, a 2024 first-round draft pick, to their quarterback room. Even though Dart is likely out for the season, Winston will still likely need to limit mistakes and keep the Giants competitive in his future starts in order to ward off McCarthy from supplanting him on the depth chart. Next up for Winston and the Giants is a home date versus the 1-2 Cardinals this Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

    Giants' Jameis Winston: Produces zero TDs in win over Titans

    Jameis Winston completed 14 of 22 passes for 118 yards in Sunday's 12-7 win over Tennessee. He added 14 rushing yards on two carries.The 32-year-old quarterback was getting his first start in place of Jaxson Dart (knee), but Winston wasn't asked to do very much as the New York Giants leaned on their backfield and their defense. To his credit, Winston did avoid committing any turnovers, which may be all coach John Harbaugh needs from him. Winston will look for opportunities to be more productive at home in Week 4 against the Cardinals.

    Giants' Jameis Winston: Extended starting opportunity awaits

    Jameis Winston could be in line for an extended run as the New York Giants' starting quarterback after Jaxson Dart sustained a more serious knee injury than anticipated in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.After exiting in the first quarter Monday, Dart received a preliminary diagnosis of a sprained MCL, an injury that typically entails a multi-week absence. Unfortunately for Dart, follow-up tests Tuesday seemingly revealed additional damage to his knee that could potentially lead to season-ending surgery. Dart will likely receive additional medical opinions before a treatment plan and recovery timeline is established, but with an extended absence on tap, the door is open for Winston to direct the New York offense beginning with Sunday's game versus Tennessee. Winston averaged a healthy 8.6 yards per attempt between two starts and one brief appearance off the bench with the Giants a season ago, but he was highly inefficient in relief of Dart in his 2026 debut Monday, completing just 11 of 27 passes for 111 yards, no touchdowns and an interception.

    Giants' Jameis Winston: Forgettable effort in emergency duty

    Jameis Winston replaced Jaxson Dart (knee) with 9:51 remaining in the first quarter of Monday night's 28-6 loss to the Rams and completed 11 of 27 passes for 111 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while rushing twice for one yard.Winston has enjoyed success in the past taking over for injured or demoted teammates, but Monday night was far from such an example. The veteran signal-caller consistently struggled against an invigorated Rams defense, taking two sacks and frequently working under duress. Winston's accuracy was also at a low point, and his one interception came in the end zone on a pass intended for Malik Nabers. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports Dart has been diagnosed with a sprained MCL, so despite Monday night's struggles, Winston could be in line for at least one start in a Week 3 home matchup against the Titans on Sunday.

    Giants' Jameis Winston: Lands two-year extension

    Jameis Winston and the New York Giants agreed Sunday on a two-year, $13 million extension, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.The extension gives Winston a slight bump in pay and keeps him on the Giants' books through the 2028 season.

    Giants' Jameis Winston: Used sparingly in 2025-26

    Jameis Winston completed 37 of 66 pass attempts for 567 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions over three games during the 2025-26 regular season. He added seven rushes for 23 yards and a touchdown.Winston signed with New York in March, but the team then inked Russell Wilson a few days later and drafted Jaxson Dart in April's NFL Draft, reducing the significance of Winston's signing considerably. The veteran QB did end up making a pair of starts after Wilson was demoted and Dart was sidelined by a concussion, but Winston didn't do much to impress as a passer in those opportunities, and he completed the campaign in a backup role. Winston's contract was a two-year deal, so he could return as Dart's backup next season.

    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.
