Should I start Jameis Winston or Kendrick Bourne in Week 6?

Both players' season market-based projection, their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, with the draft market's own figures wherever it still has them.

Updated Oct 18, 7:41 PM ET.

Start Jameis Winston: 98 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Kendrick Bourne's 56 percent of the snaps and 8 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Side by side

In 2025 Jameis Winston scored 15.1 PPR points a game and Kendrick Bourne 5.8, 9.3 a game between them.

Jameis Winston finished QB46 and Kendrick Bourne WR68, which are two different ladders.

Jameis Winston is a quarterback and Kendrick Bourne a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Jameis Winston is off in Week 8 and Kendrick Bourne in Week 14, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

Jameis Winston has no posted market, so one half of the evidence on this page exists for only one of them.
