Baker Mayfield

Week 8 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Baker Mayfield has reached 300 passing yards in three of his last four games. He also has multiple passing touchdowns in four straight games. The issue now is he'll be without both Chris Godwin and Mike Evans for some time. Sterling Shepard and rookie Jalen McMillan are the top guys now for Mayfield. He gets the Falcons this week, who held him to 180 passing yards in Week 5 but Mayfield did throw three touchdown passes in the 36-30 overtime thriller on Thursday Night Football. Mayfield is a borderline QB1 but his momentum may slow down a bit without his key receivers.

Week 6 at New Orleans Saints

Despite only throwing for 180 yards, Baker Mayfield posted another solid fantasy day thanks to three touchdowns. He completed almost 80% of his passes, but the defense couldn't stop Atlanta as the Bucs lost in Week 5. Now they head to New Orleans to face the Derek Carr-less Saints and a defense that ranks 24th in the league in passing yards allowed per game. Mayfield fared well against the Saints last season, averaging about 270 passing yards with five touchdowns and three interceptions. Mayfield is very much in the conversation as a starting fantasy quarterback for Week 6.

Week 4 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

After coming out hot out of the gate with 289 yards and four touchdowns in Week 1, Baker Mayfield has thrown for under 200 yards, one touchdown and one interception over the last two weeks against the Lions and Broncos. He faces an Eagles defense this week that cooled off the early surge of the Saints in Week 3. He's also coming off being sacked seven times by the Broncos and is being sacked at the highest rate in the league. On the other hand, the Eagles have struggled getting a consistent pass rush through three weeks. Mayfield checks in as a higher-end QB2 for Week 4.
