Jameis Winston May Not Start When He Returns
6 years agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers may hold off on using quarterback Jameis Winston as their starter when he returns from a three-week suspension, according to sources. On a short week after playing on Monday in Week 3, the Bucs may stick with Ryan Fitzpatrick for at least another week. Winston has the team's best interests in mind, so he would be fine sitting behind Fitz if he's playing well. Fitzpatrick won NFC Player of the Week honors in Week 1 against the Saints by throwing for 417 yards and four touchdowns. This was rumored earlier in the season, and now it looks like it might become a reality. Winston is on waiver wires in a lot of leagues and may remain there for a bit longer if he sits the bench when he returns.
