BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 52% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield exited Week 11's game with an ankle injury, but the MRI showed no ligament damage. The former Browns signal caller threw for just 199 yards and two touchdowns along with an interception in the team's 27-20 loss to the Colts.
Mayfield has had two tough games in back-to-back weeks against the 49ers and the Colts. They've allowed the fifth and 10th-fewest points to opposing quarterbacks this season. Not surprisingly, Mayfield struggled, finishing with just 10.3 points against San Francisco and just 13.4 points this past weekend against Indianapolis.
Prior to these two weeks, Mayfield had three consecutive games of scoring more than 18 points. This shouldn't be a turn-off. Mayfield is, after all, a streamer. He shouldn't be started in those really tough matchups and we shouldn't be surprised when he struggles. This upcoming week, Tampa will play Carolina, who has also been really tough against quarterbacks. They've allowed the third-fewest points to quarterbacks, but a lot of that is due to just how bad their rushing defense has been. Teams have intelligently opted to attack the Carolina defense on the ground.
Carolina's poor offense also never puts any pressure on the opposing team to have to score more points. However, Tampa's rushing offense has been just as bad as Carolina's rushing defense. Don't be surprised if Tampa still leans on the passing game to move the ball. In a pinch, Mayfield is a decent streamer in Week 13.
