Dee Winters - Won't play against Arizona

sleeper-rotowireOct 30, 2026, 9:03 PM+7 stories · 30dSource unavailable

Winters (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports. Winters has not been cleared to practice since suffering a calf injury against the Packers in Week 6. He'll be sidelined for a second consecutive game, so Shemar James should once again start alongside DeMarvion Overshown at inside linebacker, with Jaishawn Barham providing depth. Winters' next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Colts on Sunday, Nov. 8

Dee Winters - Deemed DNP again Thursday

sleeper-rotowireOct 29, 2026, 8:54 PM+7 stories · 30dSource unavailable

Winters (calf) didn't practice Thursday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports. Winters suffered a calf injury in Week 6 against Green Bay and hasn't practiced since. He's likely trending toward missing Sunday's Week 8 matchup against Arizona, though the veteran linebacker could give himself a chance to suit up in that contest if he's able to practice in some capacity Friday. Should Winters miss another game, however, Shemar James would likely start in his place

Dee Winters - Doesn't practice Wednesday

sleeper-rotowireOct 28, 2026, 9:11 PM+7 stories · 30dSource unavailable

Winters (calf) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Winters remains sidelined with a calf injury he sustained in the Cowboys' Week 6 loss to the Packers. If the inside linebacker cannot upgrade to at least a limited participant by Friday's practice, he will likely be ruled out ahead of the Week 8 showdown with the Cardinals

Dee Winters - Sidelined for Week 7

sleeper-rotowireOct 24, 2026, 7:11 PM+7 stories · 30dSource unavailable

Winters (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Winters was unable to practice all week due to what was designated as a calf injury, and the third-year linebacker will end up missing his first game of the season. The good news for the Cowboys is that DeMarvion Overshown is back in the fold, and he'll be joined by either Shemar James or Jaishawn Barham at inside linebacker for Monday night's contest. Winters' next opportunity to play is Week 8 against Arizona on Sunday, Nov. 1

Winters sprained his Achilles during Sunday night's game against the Packers and will likely miss at least a week, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports. Winters suffered a strained Achilles in the second quarter of Sunday night's contest and did not return. The linebacker will likely miss the Cowboys' Week 7 game against the Eagles due to the injury and could be out longer

Dee Winters - Dealing with ankle injury

sleeper-rotowireOct 18, 2026, 9:25 PM+7 stories · 30dSource unavailable

Winters (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against Green Bay, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Winters suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter, and his availability for the rest of the game is now up in the air. The linebacker has already recorded a pick-six Sunday night, and in his absence, Shemar James will stand to see an increase in workload at inside linebacker

Dee Winters - Dealing with shoulder injury

Winters (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Winters sustained a shoulder injury late in the first quarter, and his status for the rest of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Shemar James and Jaishawn Barham are the top candidates to handle the lion's share of the workload at inside linebacker versus Washington

2026 Season Outlook

sleeper-outlookJun 29, 2026, 9:00 AM+8 stories · 30dSource unavailable

Winters started all 17 regular-season games for San Francisco last season and logged career-high marks with 101 tackles and five defensed passes. Despite that healthy production, the 49ers dealt Winters to Dallas during the offseason. The deal was probably a positive for his fantasy value, as he was likely to see less work amongst a crowded SF linebacker corps for the upcoming campaign. With the Cowboys, Winters has a strong chance to start alongside DeMarvion Overshown at inside linebacker, though second-year pro Shemar James could challenge Winters for snaps following a strong rookie season

Dee Winters - Traded to Dallas

sleeper-rotowireApr 24, 2026, 8:19 PM+8 stories · 30dSource unavailable

The 49ers traded Winters to the Cowboys on Friday in exchange for the 152nd pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. A sixth-round draft pick in 2023, Winters took Dre Greenlaw's starting spot at weakside linebacker last year, when the former posted a career-high 101 total tackles and five pass defenses (including a pick-six) across 17 regular-season games. Winters' spot on the Cowboys' first-team defense is far from guaranteed as he'll face competition from DeMarvion Overshown (concussion) and Shemar James for a starting spot at inside linebacker

Dee Winters - Racks up 101 tackles as starter

sleeper-rotowireFeb 17, 2026, 1:12 AM+8 stories · 30dSource unavailable

Winters recorded 101 tackles (67 solo) and an interception in 17 regular-season games with the 49ers in 2025. Winters took over the starting role vacated by Dre Greenlaw's departure to Denver this past offseason. The third-year linebacker played the most snaps of his career (1,010) while cracking the century mark in combined tackles for IDP managers. Fred Warner (ankle) should be ready to reclaim his spot in the middle of San Francisco's defense in 2026, and Winters' strong play has put him in prime position to start alongside Warner for the final year of his rookie contract

Dee Winters - Good to go Saturday

sleeper-rotowireJan 17, 2026, 6:59 PM+8 stories · 30dSource unavailable

Winters (ankle) is active for Saturday's divisional-round matchup versus the Seahawks, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports. Winters is healthy again after missing last week's wild-card win over the Eagles due to an ankle injury. He should resume his role as one of San Francisco's starting linebackers alongside Eric Kendricks and Luke Gifford during Saturday's game
