Jameis Winston suffered a back injury in Week 1 of the season against the Atlanta Falcons. The quarterback took a knock to his back but continued to play through the pain for the Saints in their next two games. Following Week 3, reports stated that Winston had four fractured vertebrae in his back. The injury has kept him out of action for the past three games.
The New Orleans Saints will travel to face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7 of the 2022-23 NFL season. However, there has been much talk over the visitors' starting quarterback for Thursday night's game. New Orleans head coach Dennis Allen revealed that their starting quarterback for Week 7 will be a game-time decision. So, will it be Jameis Winston or Andy Dalton starting against the Cardinals?
Winston returned to limited training this week. This has led to speculation that he will start in Week 7 against the Cardinals. Winston is unlikely to play on Thursday night and Andy Dalton is very likely to start under center.
The Saints are currently 2-4 this campaign and are in third in the NFC South. The Cardinals are also 2-4 this term and in fourth place in the NFC West. This is an important game for both franchises, who are looking to stop their seasons from being completely derailed.
Jameis Winston's stats this season and fantasy outlook
In his three games so far, Winston has racked up 858 passing yards and four touchdowns. He has a passer rating of 79.5 and has thrown five interceptions but threw at least one touchdown in each game.
Winston has already put up 43.92 fantasy points, averaging 14.6 points per game. The Saints will be hoping for him to return soon and potentially propel them towards a playoffs berth. When fit, Winston is a very intriguing option and is best used in favorable matchups.
