START ‘EM #1

48. Projected Points: 20.9. Quarterback. Buccaneers. Jameis Winston. 1. player

Who would have thought that any quarterback facing the New England Patriots would be a must-play, but that’s what we’re looking at here. Last week, Cam Newton put up 39 points for his fantasy football owners and the week prior rookie Deshaun Watson had 26 points.

Now, it’s Jameis Winston‘s turn to have a field day against the Pats D. He had a great week against the Giants last week, a team with a good defense, so this should be an easy task for the former number one overall pick.

Last week, the Patriots defense surrendered 444 total yards to the Panthers offense, a unit that had struggled throughout the young season. The Bucs have an easier time moving the football and Winston should have no problem putting up points against this Pats defense.

If Winston is on your team, start him. You won’t regret it.
