Jameis Winston Benched Against Bengals
6 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston was benched in the second half in Week 8 against the Bengals after going 18-for-35 for 275 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions, including a pick-six. Winston has been solid for fantasy owners in this pass-first offense in recent weeks, but this was not one of them. He was constantly missing receivers and overthrowing his targets, and the Bengals defense made him pay. With Tampa at a crossroads, it's fair to wonder if they'll give the starting job back to Ryan Fitzpatrick heading into Week 9 against the Panthers. Wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who excelled with Fitzpatrick to start the season, would benefit the most if the team goes back to Fitz.
