Jameis Winston will start in Week 12 against the Lions.

21 November 2025

Winston gets the nod for a second consecutive week after Jaxson Dart was unable to clear the league’s concussion protocol. Last week against the Packers, Winston threw for 201-0-1 on 29 passes, but did punch in a short rushing touchdown to salvage an otherwise disappointing fantasy day. Winston will be on the fantasy radar as a mid QB2 with four teams on bye, but he matches up against a Lions defense that ranks eighth in passing yards allowed this season.
