Jimmy Garoppolo Open to Playing in the Right Situation

Wednesday, July 22, 4:22 PM

Free-agent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo considered retirement this spring, but he is still open to playing in 2026 in "the right situation," according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. With that said, Garafolo added that nothing is imminent in terms of Garoppolo signing with a team, and it might take an injury to a current QB on a roster for an NFL team to reach out to him before the start of the regular season this fall. The 34-year-old former second-rounder by the New England Patriots in 2014 out of Eastern Illinois was the insurance policy for veteran Matthew Stafford with the Los Angeles Rams the last two seasons, but he played in only four games (one start) and attempted just 41 passes in that time. The Rams have now moved on after surprising everyone by drafting Ty Simpson in the first round back in April. Jimmy G has 12 years of NFL experience under his belt, but if he does sign with a team for 2026, it will most likely be as a mentor and experienced backup rather than a guaranteed starter.

Jameis Winston Struggles in Week 2 Against Rams

Monday, September 21, 8:22 PM

New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston struggled in relief of Jaxson Dart (knee), who left the game after the opening drive on Monday night against the Rams. Winston completed 11 of 27 passes for 111 yards, with no touchdowns and an interception, in the 28-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. In his first regular-season game under offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, Winston struggled to move the ball in Week 2. With Dart expected to miss time with a sprained MCL, Winston should start moving forward. With easier matchups ahead against the Titans and Cardinals in Weeks 3 and 4, he could be a fantasy contributor in SuperFlex leagues. Fantasy managers in 2QB leagues should consider rostering Winston, but this low-volume passing offense will likely limit his fantasy value.
