Baker Mayfield

Mayfield is the QB5 in fantasy points per game. Since Week 12, among 33 qualifying quarterbacks, he has ranked third in yards per attempt, seventh in passing yards per game, 11th in passer rating, and 8th in CPOE. Mayfield should post another QB1 week against Dallas. Since Week 10, Dallas has allowed the eighth-highest yards per attempt, the fifth-highest CPOE, the tenth-most passing touchdowns (tied), and the 13th-most passing yards per game. Since Week 10, Dallas has had the fourth-highest pressure rate. Mayfield should be able to navigate pressure without a problem, as he ranks first in yards per attempt and 13th in passer rating when pressured.

Don't look now, but Baker Mayfield enters Week 16 as the overall QB5 on the season. Mayfield's resurgence should continue on Sunday night when the Buccaneers travel to face the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas has given up the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this year. Sunday night's tilt should be a close, high-scoring affair. It should also be free from weather concerns that could threaten other venues around the league. Fantasy managers should start Mayfield with confidence in Week 16.
