Jameis Winston Racks Up Yardage in Narrow Week 12 Loss

Sunday, November 23, 5:24 PM

New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston completed 18 of his 36 pass attempts for 366 yards, two passing touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Detroit Lions. He also got involved in some trickery, adding a third touchdown on a 33-yard reception that was thrown to him by wide receiver Gunner Olszewski. Winston's turnover and low completion rate were unfortunate, but his high yardage and three total touchdowns made him a valuable fantasy option once again. Unfortunately for fantasy managers who were relying on him as a streamer, Winston will head back to the bench in Week 13 if Jaxson Dart (concussion) clears concussion protocol, as expected. The offense belongs to Dart once again, but at least we've seen that Winston can be a fringe top-12 fantasy quarterback if he ever gets thrust back into the starting role.

Gardner Minshew II News

Gardner Minshew II Throws 2 TDs In Preseason Win

Friday, August 14, 12:13 AM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew II took the reins from starter Jacoby Brissett after the team's first drive in Thursday's preseason matchup against the Raiders. The veteran backup had his way with Las Vegas' reserve defenders, going 14-for-16 for 101 passing yards and two touchdowns in the 27-14 win. Minshew took one sack and was hit with a grounding penalty, but otherwise played mistake-free football before being replaced partway through the third quarter by Kedon Slovis. With Brissett expected to be Arizona's starting quarterback when the regular season opens, Minshew's solid performance helped secure his place as second on the depth chart after Carson Beck's (ribs) strong showing in last week's Hall of Fame Game. Minshew's next chance to demonstrate his worth will come on August 22 against the Dallas Cowboys.
