Saints head coach Sean Payton announced that Jameis Winston will start at quarterback against the Jaguars on Monday night.
Fantasy Impact: Taysom Hill got the start in Week 1 of the preseason, and now Winston will get his shot in Week 2. The two are seemingly in a neck-and-neck competition for the battle with no clear front-runner. Payton picked Hill over Winston when Drew Brees went down last season, but that’s not necessarily going to be the case considering 2021 represents a different scenario. Brees is gone, and Payton now needs to decide on a full-time starter rather than a spot replacement. Both offer upside as Hill possesses impressive mobility while Winston has more experience and a stronger arm. The latter’s last start came in 2019 when he led the Buccaneers to a 7-9 record while completing 380 passes for 5,109 yards, 33 touchdowns, and 30 interceptions. Hill is listed 30th among quarterbacks in the latest expert consensus draft rankings while Winston checks in at 31st.
