The Cleveland Browns will face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Jameis Winston.
Is Jameis Winston Playing in Week 15?
Winston is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

Should You Start or Sit Jameis Winston in Week 15?
Winston had one completion through the middle of October and is now the only quarterback with 40+ pass attempts in five games this season.
Never change, Jameis. Never change.
If you’re playing Winston this time of year, I admire your gumption. Either that, or you’re desperate, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It happens, and swinging for the fences is a logical approach if you believe your team is overmatched (it’s no different than an NBA team launching threes to embrace variance).
But I think you’re drawing dead in this spot. Twice a QB scored 20 fantasy points against the Chiefs this season and both of them cleared 11 points with their legs (Lamar Jackson in Week 1 and Josh Allen in Week 11). That’s not Winston’s path to upside. If the ceiling isn’t there, you’re taking on an awfully low floor in the name of fun.
Early weather projections are for some wind and some rain. Not overly prohibitive, but also not ideal, and you need to run as hot as the sun to get Winston to be a usable asset. I’d keep Winston rostered (Week 16 at Cincinnati), but I’d rather plug in current punching bag Kirk Cousins (at Raiders) or Anthony Richardson (at DEN) if he was cut loose ahead of his bye week.
