News: 2 days agoWinston (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Spin: Winston would need Jaxson Dart and Russell Wilson to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection to have a chance to enter. The former No. 1 overall pick has yet to appear in a game this season.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Winston signed with the Giants after spending his first 10 NFL seasons with the Buccaneers, Saints and Browns. He's primarily been a backup and spot-starter over the past five seasons, but he made seven straight starts in relief of injured Deshaun Watson last season. The result was what you expect from Winston, as he had his share of big plays (both good and bad) and ended up with 12 pass TDs and 12 INTs. Winston is likely to back up Russell Wilson and perhaps rookie Jaxson Dart this season. If called upon to start, he may add some big-play opportunities for the team's pass catchers, but will be no more than a desperation streaming option in deep leagues.
