2024 Fantasy Outlook
Winston was stuck as the back up in New Orleans the last couple years, but he impressed as the starter in 2021 -- 14/3 TD/INT -- before tearing an ACL in Week 8. He could be back in a starting role this season after signing a one-year deal with the Browns in March. Deshaun Watson is recovering from shoulder surgery, and while he’s reportedly made steady progress, there’s a chance he’s not ready for Week 1. Assuming Winston beats out fellow free-agent acquisition Tyler Huntley, he’ll have a solid group of playmakers to exploit. The Browns added Jerry Jeudy this offseason to form an excellent WR trio with Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore, in addition to tight end Davis Njoku and running back Nick Chubb (though Chubb is coming off a knee injury). At 30, Winston probably isn’t as mobile as he once was, but he should still add some rushing upside. Read Past Outlooks

Remains starting quarterback
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed that Winston will remain the team's starting quarterback Sunday against the Saints, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Winston had a rough go of it in a loss to the Chargers in Week 9, which left the door open for a potential quarterback change. However, coming out of the Browns' bye week, Stefanski announced that Winston will make a third consecutive start in Week 11. Over his seven appearances (two starts) on the season, Winston has completed 59 of 99 pass attempts (59.6 percent) for 652 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions while adding 31 yards on 12 carries.

Winston once seemed like a long-term option at quarterback for the Saints after spending one year as the understudy to Drew Brees. But Winston battled back fractures early last season, leading him to lose the starting job to Andy Dalton after Week 3 for the remainder of the campaign. With Derek Carr signed to a four-year, $150 million contract this offseason, Winston's time in New Orleans looked to be over before he agreed to a restructured contract in March. As a result, the 29-year-old Winston will enter the 2023 season as a backup alongside dual-threat veteran Taysom Hill and rookie fourth-rounder Jake Haener.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Long-term opportunity to start
Winston has been confirmed as the Browns' Week 8 starter against the Ravens, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Winston was initially inactive in Week 7 but still appeared in the game as the Browns' emergency No. 3 quarterback. However, Schultz reports that Dorian Thompson-Robinson was the backup only because he had specific plays in the game plan, suggesting that Winston is likely to be Cleveland's long-term starter with Deshaun Watson sidelined for the season. Winston should provide a boost to the Browns' skill-position players, as he is not afraid to push the ball down the field -- something Watson struggled to do.
