Replaces Ryan Fitzpatrick

Nerdy Football Analysis: The Bucs will have the bye week to get reacclimated to Winston, who will see his first action in Week 6 against an injury-ravaged Falcons defense. Winston did his best to mimic a usual workweek during his three-game absence, although only time will tell if he’s ready to go from mistake-prone gunslinger to a solid NFL starter. He has the supporting cast to be a fantasy QB1, but owners would be wise to treat him as nothing more than a matchup-based starter going forward.
