Most impressive thing about Jaxson Dart in Week 1 was a willingness to patiently take what the playcall/defense gave. Didn't think he had that in him yet. Jameis has a lot of things in him. That is not one. NYG need to call a different offense or Jameis won't last long in it.

Will start for Titans against Giants this week following Dart's injury. Known for high-variance play; the source notes the old joke is that you can play both Winston and the defense facing him in fantasy because he will probably throw a couple of touchdowns to both teams. Should be easier to scheme against than Dart because he lacks the same mobility.

Winston takes over as the Giants' starting QB following Dart's injury. The source notes Winston was slightly worse than expected in replacement duty against the Rams in Week 2, but expects him to perform better with a full week of practice and first-team reps against a weaker Titans defense compared to being thrown into a prime-time road game.

The backup quarterback struggled significantly in relief of injured Jaxson Dart on Monday night. Winston's accuracy was a problem, completing 5 of 12 passes in the first half alone with an overthrown screen and open rollout in the red zone among the misses. He also had two rushes for 1 yard, failing to replicate Dart's running threat. The source notes that while Winston is one of the better backup quarterbacks in the NFL, he is also capable of throwing his team out of any game with inopportune interceptions.
