BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 52% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Baker Mayfield has found his way back to fantasy relevancy, despite a very bumpy 2022 season. After losing his job with the Browns and then the Panthers, he thrived in Los Angeles and has continued that success in Tampa Bay.
Fantasy managers have to hand it to Mayfield. He's played excellent football this season. Through nine games, he's completed 64.5% and is on pace for 4,048 yards and 26 touchdowns. Even more impressive, he has just five turnovers. His excellent on-field play has translated to fantasy football success as well.
He has scored over 18 fantasy points in three consecutive games. He's scored over 18 in five of his nine games. While his ceiling isn't as high as other signal-callers who use their legs -- his high weekly output is 23 -- he's made up for that with excellent consistency. He's scored 16 or more in seven out of nine games.
He has a tough three-game stretch coming up against the 49ers, Colts, and Panthers. These teams have allowed the 25th, 21st, and 17th-most points to opposing quarterbacks this season. Still, Mayfield is playing well enough that he deserves a roster spot, especially considering the number of quarterback injuries fantasy managers have had to endure this season. He's averaging 16.4 points per game and is a quality QB2 to have on your bench. In plus matchups, he makes for an excellent streamer.
