  • Jameis Winston Avoids Injury Report

    Headshot for Jameis Winston

    New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (wrist) is not listed on the team's injury report. The former first-overall pick sustained the injury during the Saints' final preseason game against Houston. He now figures to serve as the primary backup for starter Derek Carr. Third-string quarterback Jake Haener was hit with a six-game suspension earlier this week and Taysom Hill was recently designated as a quarterback instead of a tight end.

  • Jameis Winston Starts Final Preseason Game

    Headshot for Jameis Winston

    New Orleans Saints veteran quarterback Jameis Winston started Sunday night's preseason loss. He was poised in the pocket, completing 11-of-16 passes for 93 yards and a touchdown strike to tight end Jimmy Graham. Winston opens the season as Derek Carr's backup and will be ready to roll in the event of an injury to Carr. The former first overall pick is entering his ninth NFL campaign. Roster him only in deep superflex dynasty leagues, given that his path to any playing time requires an injury.

  • Jameis Winston Game Manages In Preseason Win

    Headshot for Jameis Winston

    New Orleans Saints backup quarterback Jameis Winston played the first half of Sunday night's preseason game, completing 13-of-21 passes for 169 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Winston took two sacks in the 22-17 win. While not entering the season as the starter, Winston is one of the safest backups in the league. His experience in the Saints' system should allow him to fill in nicely should Derek Carr miss any time in 2023, but he should not be rostered anywhere at this point aside from deep superflex dynasty leagues.

  • Jameis Winston Starts For Saints In Preseason Win

    Headshot for Jameis Winston

    New Orleans Saints backup quarterback Jameis Winston went 13-for-21 for 169 yards and no scores in the team's 22-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Winston took the first snap with starter Derek Carr taking the night off. The former first-overall pick is likely to begin the season as the QB2, a role he played in 2022 when he returned from injury. With 21,840 career passing yards, the veteran is one of the top backup quarterback options in the league. He's not worth drafting in standard-sized redraft leagues.

  • Offseason In Review: New Orleans Saints

    Headshot for Lynn Bowden

    After one of the most stable QB periods in NFL history, the Saints spent the past two seasons on a lower tier. While the Saints’ post-Drew Brees run of quarterbacks did not receive the attention the Broncos’ batch of failed Peyton Manning successor efforts did, New Orleans immediately regressed to a midlevel operation once Brees […]

  • Jameis Winston Looks Good In Preseason Win

    Headshot for Jameis Winston

    New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston looked sharp in his first game action since Week 3 last season, completing 11-of-13 passes for 92 yards and a touchdown in the preseason win over the Kansas City Chiefs. He added 14 yards rushing on two carries. Winston ran with the second team, appearing to be locked in as the backup behind starting quarterback Derek Carr. Despite falling out of favor to Andy Dalton last season, Winston stuck around in New Orleans and should be one of the top backup quarterbacks in the league in 2023.
