Jameis Winston, Buccaneers managing expectations amid 'playoff buzz'
After Tampa Bay finished 9-7 last season, there's buzz that the Buccaneers, led by third-year quarterback Jameis Winston, could reach the playoffs for the first time since 2007.
What It Means:
"Jameis Winston is 23. He's got a lot of catching up to do," Bucs head coach Dirk Koetter told USA TODAY. "It's a process, and Jameis has played all 32 games in his first two years, and you learn by experience in any job."
After a promising second season, and the addition of DeSean Jackson to the Bucs' receiving corps, Winston's average draft position in fantasy football has jumped to the 7th round. He's being drafted ahead of names like Andrew Luck, Cam Newton and Ben Roethlisberger (according to Fantasy Football Calculator).
