The New York Giants will visit the New England Patriots in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Jameis Winston.
Is Jameis Winston Playing in Week 13?
Winston is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Giants’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Winston in Week 13?
My goodness, did we get the whole Winston experience last week in Detroit?
- 366 passing yards (on just 18 completions)
- 2 passing TDs (distances of 12 and 39 yards)
- 1 interception (nearly crippling in the fourth quarter)
- 1 receiving TD (33 yards, a contested grab with a broken tackle)
He came out firing as only Jameis Winston can do and never backed down. It was great fun, and we all enjoyed it, but if you showed up late, you missed all of the fun.
In the second half, the Winston bubble burst. He was two-of-eight with an interception when pressured, and that is a situation he figures to find himself in regularly this week should he get the start again for Jaxson Dart (concussion).
Chaos can be fun, and last week, it happened to be productive, but this supporting cast isn’t exactly built for that style of play. He used Wan’Dale Robinson like he was Mike Evans, and forgive me if I don’t think that is a sustainable path to profit, given the nine-inch height difference.
He’ll rank outside of my top 15 at the position should he get the nod, behind a widely available QB in Tua Tagovailoa (vs. NO).
