2023 Fantasy Outlook
Winston once seemed like a long-term option at quarterback for the Saints after spending one year as the understudy to Drew Brees. But Winston battled back fractures early last season, leading him to lose the starting job to Andy Dalton after Week 3 for the remainder of the campaign. With Derek Carr signed to a four-year, $150 million contract this offseason, Winston's time in New Orleans looked to be over before he agreed to a restructured contract in March. As a result, the 29-year-old Winston will enter the 2023 season as a backup alongside dual-threat veteran Taysom Hill and rookie fourth-rounder Jake Haener. Read Past Outlooks

Set to remain in backup role
Winston is expected to remain the Saints' backup quarterback Sunday against the Buccaneers with Derek Carr (shoulder) listed as questionable but in line to start the Week 4 game, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Carr suffered an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder after he was slammed to the turf by the Packers' Rashan Gary in the third quarter of the Saints' Week 3 loss to Green Bay. Winston came on in relief of Carr and completed 10 of 16 pass attempts for 101 yards, but he didn't produce any scoring drives as the Saints squandered a 17-0 lead. Though Carr initially appeared in line to miss at least one game due to the injury, he returned to practice in a limited capacity Friday and took all the first-team reps during Saturday's walk-through. Barring a late setback in pregame warmups, Carr looks poised to start without limitations, keeping Winston in his usual No. 2 role.

After winning the starting job in camp last year, Winston played relatively well before a Week 8
ACL injury ended his season. Remarkably for him, he had thrown just three interceptions and
had 14 TD passes. Accuracy was a work in progress — his 66.5 on-target percentage ranked
37th of 38 QBs (min. 150 attempts) — but he went downfield at a good clip (8.3-yard aDOT, 7th)
and at least stopped turning the ball over temporarily. This year, Winston won’t have to compete
for the starting job, as Taysom Hill moved to tight end. He'll also have much better receiving
options and should average far more than last year's 23.2 pass attempts per game. Michael
Thomas is expected back after missing last season with an ankle injury, and the team signed
Jarvis Landry shortly after drafting downfield threat Chris Olave 11th overall. RB Alvin Kamara
gives Winston four quality targets, though the offensive line took a hit with LT Terron Armstead
leaving for Miami. The biggest change is the retirement of coach Sean Peyton. Dennis Allen,
promoted from defensive coordinator, is the new head coach, with Pete Carmichael staying on
as offensive coordinator. According to the Saints, Winston is on track with his knee injury to be
ready for Week 1, but he likely won’t run as much this year. If he continues to protect the ball,
he’ll be a viable option in two-QB leagues.
