ANALYSIS: Don't look now, but Mayfield has quietly been quite good through two weeks. During the offseason, there was some chatter in fantasy circles that Mayfield may very well be this year's Geno Smith. He's this veteran quarterback who has largely been written off, but who has an excellent duo of receivers around him.
If you're expecting Smith from 2022, you're going to be disappointed. Through two weeks, he's giving off some Geno Smith-lite vibes, though. He had 16 points in Week 1 despite throwing for just 173 yards. He threw two touchdown passes to help salvage his day.
In Week 2, Mayfield was even more impressive. He completed over 76% of his passes, threw for over 315 yards, and had one score. More importantly, he's avoided turnovers and he has Tampa Bay 2-0, which will help ensure he maintains his starting role. He finished with 18.4 fantasy points this past weekend.
Tampa will face off against the Eagles in Week 3. While that was a terrible matchup last year, the Eagles have been torn up by Mac Jones and Kirk Cousins. These two quarterbacks have thrown for 680 yards, seven touchdowns, and just one interception. If you're in a pinch at quarterback, Mayfield is definitely on the streaming radar for Week 3.
