Baker Mayfield ruled out for Thursday Night Football

The Buccaneers ruled Baker Mayfield out of Thursday night’s game against Dallas because of his right thumb injury. Mayfield did not practice throughout the shortened week, leaving rookie Jalon Daniels in line to make another start.

Fantasy Impact:

Daniels is available only as a low-end superflex option. His presence lowers the ceiling of every Tampa Bay pass catcher, especially with the offense facing a short turnaround. Irving remains startable through projected volume, while Otton, Egbuka, and Godwin carry more touchdown-dependent profiles.

Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (PCL) to miss 6-8 weeks

Pro Football Talk

Sep 29 · 8:08 AM EDT

Wide receiver Jalen McMillan left Tampa’s 23-16 loss to the Vikings with a left knee injury. Per multiple reports, McMillan will miss 6-8 weeks after suffering a PCL injury.

Related players: Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, Ted Hurst, Tez Johnson, Jalon Daniels

Fantasy Impact:

The hits keep coming for the Bucs, whose season is on the brink of total disaster after losing QB Baker Mayfield for at least three weeks and currently sitting at 0-3. Now, they will be short a wide receiver as well. McMillan had just one target over the first three weeks of the season. Rookie Hurst, who had a great camp and offseason, looks poised to earn more snaps with McMillan out, but it will be another rookie in Daniels under center at least for the short term. Hurst could be worth a stash in the deepest of leagues but this will be a wait-and-see situation.

UPDATE: No ligament damage in Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield's thumb

Sources: Bucs QB Baker Mayfield suffered a dislocated thumb but got good news on the MRI. No fracture and no ligament or tendon damage.

Fantasy Impact:

It's a quick update from the original report we had earlier today. Rapoport said in the earlier post Mayfield was looking at a timeline of 2-4 weeks for his dislocated thumb, but it would be much longer if there was additional damage. The Buccaneers have just recently come out and said it will be a minimum of three weeks Mayfield is out, according to a story on Pro Football Talk.

Rapoport: Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) to miss at least 2-4 weeks

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) to miss at least 2-4 weeks.

Fantasy Impact:

Mayfield dislocated his right thumb, according to Rapoport, and is scheduled for an MRI. Rapoport said the best case is Mayfield missing 2-4 weeks. But, it could be a lot longer if Mayfield tore ligaments in his thumb. The MRI will likely answer those questions, but it looks like Daniels will take over as the Bucs QB, and it likely means a big downgrade for the Tampa weapons.
