Decimated by injuries, the Atlanta Falcons' defense has become a unit to pick on this season.

Atlanta is allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, and our schedule-adjusted metrics rank them as the worst overall defense as well as the third-worst pass D. Over the past three weeks, the Falcons have surrendered 43, 37 and 41 points, with Andy Dalton going to Atlanta and roasting them 337 yards and 3 scores in Week 4.

This is a money spot for Jameis Winston, who is making his first start of the season. Winston came in for mop-up duty in Week 4 at Chicago and completed 16 of 20 passes for 145 yards, 1 touchdown and 2 picks. In five career games against Atlanta, Winston is averaging 249.0 passing yards per contest with totals of 12 scores and 2 interceptions.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers boast a 27.0-point implied total, the seventh-best of the week, and our models rank Winston as the week's QB8, projecting him for 20.24 points. He's the clear-cut top streamer for Week 6.
