News: 8 hours agoWinston completed 33 of 54 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 27-27 tie against the Commanders. He also rushed five times for 27 yards and lost a fumble.

Spin: The Giants struggled on the ground for most of the game and played from behind after Washington scored a touchdown two minutes into the game, so Winston racked up impressive volume, including 20 targets to Malik Nabers and 13 to Isaiah Likely, who had 11 catches apiece for a combined 215 yards and three touchdowns. Winston connected with Likely from three yards out in the third quarter before throwing a 17-yard touchdown apiece to Likely and Nabers in the fourth quarter as the Giants came back from a 19-6 second-half deficit. Both teams had a chance to win it in OT, but the Giants had a missed field goal and fumble in field-goal range, while Washington countered with a time-management snafu in the final seconds that resulted in a tie, which brings New York's record to 3-1-1 ahead of a Week 6 home game against the Saints.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Winston is back with the Giants and with Russell Wilson out of the picture, he is expected to serve as the primary backup to Jaxson Dart in 2026. Winston hasn't been a full-time starter since 2019 and was limited to two starts last season. In typical Winston style, results varied, with 11.0 fantasy points against Green Bay in Week 11, followed by a 32.2-point showing against Detroit the very next week. The 32-year-old doesn't do much with his legs, but his boom/bust passing style makes him an occasional streaming option when the matchup is right. That's what he'll be, if called on for a spot start in place of Dart this season.
