Antoine Winfield Jr. Trending Toward Playing
4 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers stud rookie safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in practice late in the week and is questionable to play on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship game, but right now he's leaning toward being active. Winfield is a true game-time decision and will be tested in pre-game workouts. The 22-year-old has been a big part of Tampa's rise defensively in 2020, so losing him for this big game against Aaron Rodgers and company would be a big downgrade to the Buccaneers Defense if you were planning on running with them in fantasy lineups this weekend. Winfield had a big forced fumble in the Divisional Round win over the Saints and recorded 94 combined tackles, one interception, six passes defensed, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and three sacks during the regular season.
