History suggests Jameis Winston's due for big game vs. Falcons

TAMPA, Fla. -- The hobbled Atlanta Falcons' defense is giving up nearly 33 points per game -- second-most in the league -- and it has surrendered 122 fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Those numbers alone paint favorable odds for Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston, who is making his first start of the season on Sunday (1 p.m. ET, Fox) since serving a three-game suspension.

But there's a lot more to it. Winston has not only played his best ball against the Falcons, he has also been one of the best in the league at it.
