00:02 >> Now great for fantasy, maybe not as good for reality is Jameis Winston,

00:06 who we haven't seen in a while get the opportunity like he did yesterday.

00:10 In fact, the Saints through the years, Matt, have really gone more to Taysom Hill

00:14 than they have to Jameis Winston, but they were really at no choice yesterday, but

00:18 to insert Winston in, and what did we see?

00:21 We saw the good, we saw the bad, this is exactly who he is.

00:26 I think that from my perspective watching this, he made Chris Olave

00:30 a lot more viable in fantasy.

00:32 I guess the question is, Matt, is if you're going to pick him up,

00:37 you obviously have to be sure that Carr is gonna be out.

00:41 And then the other point is that you're playing in a fantasy league where you lose

00:43 points for picks.

00:45 I don't know what kind of value he would have because, simply put,

00:49 I don't anticipate this being like the Tampa offense that he had several years ago.

00:55 >> No, I agree with that, and I think Derrick Carr too is one of these guys who

00:59 just comes back, he just always comes back.

01:01 And I just, I don't know, unless the shoulder injury is more serious than we

01:05 think, I think he'll be back and he'll be starting after the bye.

01:08 But if we assume Jameis Winston is starting, what's his fantasy value?

01:13 Well, it should be decent.

01:14 They have pretty good receivers, even with Mike Thomas getting hurt yesterday.

01:19 And he'll put the ball in the air, he'll take chances, sometimes that's good.

01:23 Like you said, sometimes that's bad.

01:25 It's a roller coaster with Jameis.

01:27 I haven't looked at their full schedule down the stretch, but

01:30 I do think that there's potential with Jameis.

01:33 I just don't know if I really trust him to actually start to hold on to

01:36 the starting job.

01:37 They can always go run heavy too, you never know with that team.

01:40 So, man, I don't have any New Orleans players on my roster and

01:44 I'm glad I don't, quite frankly, as good as Alvin Kamara has been and

01:47 Hill and Olave at times.

01:49 They're just a tough team to own players from.
