Latest news

Buccaneers will start QB Baker Mayfield Week 1

The #Bucs are going with Baker Mayfield as their starting QB, coach Todd Bowles announced.

The former No. 1 overall pick, Mayfield beat out Kyle Trask for the right to succeed Tom Brady and will start the Sept. 10 opener at Minnesota.

Fantasy Impact:

Mayfield's stock should rise - a little - with the news he's the starter, but it's tough to see him passing too many QBs at the bottom of our rankings leading up to Week 1. For now, Mayfield is more of a QB3 or bottom end QB2 until we see more. However, he certainly has some quality WRs to throw to in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. All three players will need one another in order to provide fantasy managers with the points they need. Also for now, Godwin and Evans are ranked as lower-end WR3s on our list.

Buccaneers to have QB competition between Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are poised for an offseason quarterback competition between Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask that could last deep into training camp.

Asked Wednesday about the balance between naming a starter early so he can get extra reps in the offense and allowing the competition to run its course, new offensive coordinator Dave Canales cited his experience last year during the Geno Smith-Drew Lock battle in Seattle.

Fantasy Impact:

The Tampa Bay job is sneakily a good one for fantasy purposes, as the team decided not to move on from any of their veteran pass catchers, despite many rumors to the contrary. Superstars Mike Evans and Chris Godwin may be aging, but they're still a fantastic one-two punch, while Cade Otton and Rachaad can pull their weight at their respective positions.
We would assume that Mayfield has the initial leg-up here since the team went out and got the former first round pick, who has 69 starts under his belt. Compare that to Trask, who has nine dropbacks to his name.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers sign QB Baker Mayfield to a one-year deal

The Bucs are finalizing a deal with former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield. Mayfield finished his fifth NFL season strong after landing with the Rams. Now he gets a chance to take over for Tom Brady in Tampa and is still only 27. It's a one-year, $8.5M deal for Baker.

Related Players: Kyle Trask

Fantasy Impact:

Mayfield will be battling it out with 2021 second-round pick Kyle Trask. Trask didn't have a chance to log a start underneath Brady last season. Mayfield should have the leg-up in the competition and it honestly isn't too bad of a landing spot at the time of writing, but there have been rumors swirling of a Mike Evans trade, so he may lose a weapon before he even dons a uniform.

Rams QB Baker Mayfield active for Thursday Night Football

New Rams QB Baker Mayfield is expected to be active tonight vs. the Raiders, and there’s a real chance he plays. His role will depend in part on how John Wolford (questionable, neck) is feeling. Mayfield got in Tuesday night and is up to speed on the full game plan.

Fantasy Impact:

Mayfield was on the verge of being the worst active quarterback in the NFL this season, so trusting him with only 48 hours to learn a new offense would be quite the stretch. Tyler Higbee could be usable as a back-end TE1 option, but it's best to simply stay away from the Rams wherever possible.
