Jameis Winston Expected To Start In Week 8
4 weeks ago

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston is expected to be under center for the Week 8 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Winston came in as the third string quarterback after Deshaun Watson (Achilles) and Dorian Thompson-Robinson (hand) went down last week. He completed 5-of-11 passing attempts for 67 yards and a touchdown in the defeat. The Browns are going to be without Watson for at least the rest of 2024. Thompson-Robinson is fine after a minor hand injury, but will serve as the backup to Winston for at least one week. The organization said starting Winston was strictly gameplan related, so we'll see if the former first-round pick can earn the full-time gig. The move from Watson to Winston should give this Browns offense a boost. However, Winston is known for his inconsistent play, so he won't be anything more than a deep league option.
