Jameis Winston-QB-Tampa Bay Buccaneers (35.8%)

Winston’s rookie season started out with a dud against fellow-rookie Tennessee Titans’ starting QB Marcus Mariota, but he has completely turned things around growing into a solid NFL QB leading his team in a playoff race. Winston threw seven interceptions and six touchdowns in the first four weeks, but has thrown just four picks and 11 touchdowns since then.

This week, Winston leads the Bucs into a great matchup against the Saints at home. Earlier this season, Winston got his first NFL win against the Saints throwing for 201 yards and a touchdown while rushing for a score as well. Last week, he led the Bucs past the Falcons with a similar line totaling 227 yards passing with one touchdown passing and one rushing.

Just three weeks ago he threw for five touchdowns against the Eagles, and he is getting back his weapons at just the right time for a playoff push for Tampa and a great finishing kick for his fantasy football owners. Winston finishes the season with the Saints, Rams, and Bears before a week 17 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
