Week 15 @ St. Louis Rams

Fantasy Stats:

Passing: 363 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT

Rushing: 5 yards, 0 TD, 1 Fumbles Lost

Total Points: 21 pts

One week after throwing for his first sub-200 game Winston followed up with his debut on Thursday Night Football where he launched 363 passing yards and two touchdowns.

His first game throwing over 300 yards wasn’t celebrated as much as it could have been however, as the team fell to the Rams in their “Color Rush” matchup and the team fell out of the playoff hunt, even if not mathematically.

His 21 points placed Winston 12th among active quarterbacks as teams looked to make their fantasy playoff pushes.

A lost fumble didn’t help matters as the Bucs made a late push to make a frenzied comeback falling just short as they lost 31-23.
