The highs include a Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons, a game in which Winston threw four touchdowns and had a 125.1 passer rating, both of which are season-highs.
The lows include three straight losses following that big win, as well as a gut-wrenching overtime loss to the Oakland Raiders last week. That game saw Winston complete just 16 of 32 passes for 180 yards and two scores
For the most part, Winston has been a boom-or-bust fantasy play with three games of 25-plus points scoring, but four games of 19 or fewer points. The hope is Winston will have a bounceback game in Week 9 when the Bucs host the Falcons on Thursday Night Football.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Winston as the seventh-best quarterback for Week 9. He faces a Falcons defense allowing the most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.
Even with his inconsistent play, Winston is an easy call to start this week vs. Atlanta’s struggling secondary.
