Winston returns for a great matchup. The Packers secondary has been awful of late. The defense has allowed 300 passing yards or more to two of the last four QBs it has faced. In Week 12 the defense gave up 351 yards and four touchdowns to Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger.
Winston missed the last three games with a shoulder injury that he first suffered in Week 6. He was able to play two games and started a third before he was officially sidelined in Week 10. The Bucs had success with backup QB Ryan Fitzpatrick under center in his absence. They won two out of the three games while Winston was on the sideline.
Fantasy impact: Winston’s return is good for Tampa Bay, but his fantasy potential is a big question mark. He was great to start the season and has four 300-plus-yard passing games this season, and he scored multiple touchdowns in three of those games. Winston is finally fully healthy which should mean he will return to his early-season form. Still, missing so much time off the field, he may need a minute to get back into playing form. The matchup in Week 13 is great. Winston may be too much of a risky start, however.
