Jameis Winston-QB-Tampa Bay Buccaneers(24.6%)

If you missed out on last week’s top QB pickup Tony Romo or lost Joe Flacco for the season, it’s time to check out famous Jameis after the rookie posted a very impressive game in the Bucs win in Philadelphia.

Winston threw five touchdowns to five different receivers after throwing just one touchdown in his previous three games combined. Winston totaled over 240 yards passing for the fourth time in his last five games and is definitely trending in a positive direction for the suddenly 5-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Not only his upward trend making Winston is a good pickup at this point, but he also has a very nice schedule in the coming weeks. In week 12, the Bucs head to Indy to face the Colts before facing the Falcons and the Saints in a pair of divisional games. All three of those matchups set up well for Winston who appears to be trending toward serious rookie of the year consideration.
