Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans have been watching Jameis Winston for almost five years now, and still the jury is out on whether or not he’s the long term solution for the team at quarterback.

But it’s not just Bucs fans who have been frustrated by Winston’s inconsistencies over the years. Fantasy football owners have had a hard time figuring out what to do with the former number one overall pick.

And this season has been no different. After a rough outing in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers, Winston has stepped up and played well the past three games. But, heading into last week’s contest against the Los Angeles Rams, virtually all fantasy owners felt the former Heisman Trophy winner was destined for a dud performance on the road.

But, all Winston did was go out and throw for 385 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in a 55-40 thrashing of the defending NFC Champions.

So, what should fantasy owners do about Winston this week as he heads to New Orleans to take on the Saints in an NFC South showdown?

Well, according to ESPN fantasy football guru Matthew Berry, if you’ve got Winston on your roster, you should start him this week, as he’s projecting the Bucs quarterback to pick up 18.9 points.

Here’s why Berry loves Winston:

“I’m on him, I’m off him, instead of “Love/Hate” should I just call this column “Jameis Winston”? Pretty much means the same thing. But a week after I dumbly had him on the “hate” list (Yeesh), I’m back in on him in what Vegas thinks will be one of the higher-scoring games of Week 5. After back-to-back weeks as a top-five QB, he now gets a Saints team that is allowing 24.7 PPG to QBs this season (second most), allowing 6.3 yards per play (fifth most) and owns the 10th-lowest interception percentage.”

The last time the Bucs played the Saints in New Orleans was back in Week 1 of the 2018 season, when they won a high-scoring shootout, 48-40. Ryan Fitzpatrick was the Bucs’ quarterback in that game while Winston was serving the first game in his three-game suspension.

Hopefully, he’ll be able to replicate Fitzpatrick’s success.
