The Cleveland Browns will face the Denver Broncos in Week 13. 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.

Should You Start or Sit Jameis Winston in Week 13?
Even in the snowy conditions and against an elite defense, Winston continued to inch up his in-pocket completion percentage on Thursday night against the Steelers (58.1% in Week 9, 61.9% in Week 11, and 63.6% in Week 12).
The exciting plays are fun, but if Winston is improving his production in these on-script spots, we might be onto something. The problem, of course, is the schedule. I’m not going to have him ranked as a fantasy starter in any of the next three weeks, and that includes Week 14’s rematch with Pittsburgh, a week in which six teams have their bye.
With the scheduling being what it is and Winston’s mobility limited at best, he’s going to need to be close to perfect to return top-15 numbers. I don’t see that happening (3-of-11 passing in the red zone in November), and that means that I’ll be enjoying the Winston experience from a distance as opposed to trusting him with the fate of my fantasy season in his hands.
