Jameis Winston Throwing Tennis Balls
5 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (thumb) was limited to throwing tennis balls in practice on Wednesday for the second week in a row after fracturing his right thumb in Week 14. He did not grip a football last week until Friday and then went on to throw for a career-high 458 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in the win over the Lions in Week 15. Winston is expected to resume throwing a football on Thursday in preparation of the Week 16 game against the Texans on Saturday. Based on the matchup and the fact that he's leading the league in passing yards, Winston will be a top-six fantasy QB. However, he'll be missing wideouts Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Scott Miller, so he'll be a bit more risky in fantasy championship week.
