BALLER MOVE: Sit in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2
ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield had low expectations this season. Many expected the veteran quarterback to lose the starting job to Kyle Trask before Halloween. However, the former No. 1 overall pick has had a solid year.
Mayfield is the QB15 for the season, averaging 15.9 fantasy points per game. The former Oklahoma star has completed 64.6% of his pass attempts for 2,389 yards and 15 touchdowns, compared to six interceptions. He also had an impact in the run game, totaling 41 rushing attempts for 139 yards.
Unfortunately, the veteran quarterback struggled last week. He completed 64.4% of his pass attempts for 246 yards and a touchdown to Mike Evans. However, Mayfield had two turnovers and ended the game with only 10.3 fantasy points.
The Buccaneers face the Indianapolis Colts this weekend. Unfortunately, the Colts aren’t an appealing matchup for the veteran quarterback. They have surrendered 14.5 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season, slightly below the league average. However, Indianapolis has held quarterback to nine or fewer fantasy points in three of their past four matchups.
Fantasy players should only start Mayfield in superflex or two-quarterback leagues this week.
