Jameis Winston Still a Risky Option Against Commanders

Saturday, October 10, 7:04 AM

New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston completed 18 of 29 passes for 250 yards, with three touchdowns and two interceptions in the 36-24 win over the Arizona Cardinals. After two straight games under 150 passing yards, Winston went vintage Jameis mode, airing it out and making plenty of both positive and negative plays in Week 4. Winston remains the starter for the Giants, who currently lead the NFC East at 3-1. He faces a Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. However, rain and wind are expected to be a factor, though less than in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans. He remains a risky option in Superflex leagues, though it was nice to see him produce solid numbers in Week 4.

Mason Rudolph News

Mason Rudolph Sharp in Preseason Start

Thursday, August 13, 6:22 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 10 of 11 pass attempts for 93 yards in a 28-9 preseason victory over the Green Bay Packers. Rudolph got off to a rocky start, taking two sacks over his first four snaps, but quickly settled in and led the offense down the field on its second possession. Although the Steelers were unable to score after an offensive holding penalty nullified a three-yard rushing touchdown by Lew Nichols, Rudolph displayed early chemistry with rookie wideout Germie Bernard and several other pass-catchers throughout the drive. The 31-year-old then gave way to second-year pro Will Howard and rookie signal-caller Drew Allar, both of whom also impressed. It will be interesting to see how Pittsburgh's quarterback depth chart shakes out entering the regular season, with all three players competing for backup duties behind Aaron Rodgers. Rudolph is likely to see additional preseason action next weekend against the New York Jets.
