Who Should I Start? Jameis Winston or Patrick Mahomes

Wednesday, November 12, 12:55 PM

New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka confirmed on Wednesday that veteran Jameis Winston will be the starting quarterback on Sunday when the team takes on the visiting Green Bay Packers in Week 11 at MetLife Stadium. Rookie Jaxson Dart (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol after injuring his head in the Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears and will not play this weekend. It will be Winston, not Russell Wilson, starting under center this weekend with Dart sidelined. Tight ends coach Tim Kelly will be the offensive coordinator after the Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll earlier this week. Sunday will be Winston's first action of the year after he threw for 2,121 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions in 12 games (seven starts) for the Browns in 2024. Expect aggressive downfield passing with lots of sacks and turnovers for the Giants' offense this week, making the Packers' defensive unit a top fantasy option.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 9. Mahomes continued his dominant run in last week's contest against the Washington Commanders. The Chiefs quarterback completed 25 of 34 pass attempts (74%) for 299 yards and three touchdowns in the 28-7 victory. Mahomes has now completed at least 70% of his passes in four straight games. The 30-year-old will now face the Bills, who allow the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. That said, the Kansas City offense has been rolling, and they face the fourth-highest scoring team in the league on a points-per-game basis. Mahomes can have a ceiling performance in a matchup with the second-highest Over/Under of the week. Mahomes is ranked QB1 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him a must-start player this week
