Fantasy Football Player Notes

If you're looking for upside at your QB2 spot this week in Superflex leagues, look no further than Mayfield. He was the QB17 in fantasy points per game last year, ranking 18th in yards per attempt, 19th in CPOE, and 20th in fantasy points per dropback. None of this sounds overwhelmingly enticing, but the matchup is glorious. Washington will likely be a better pass defense than they were last year, but that's not saying much when there's a case to be made that they were the worst pass defense in the NFL in 2023. Last season, Washington allowed the most passing yards per game and passing touchdowns while also surrendering the third-highest yards per attempt. This game could easily shoot out in Week 1 if the Commanders' offense can push back on the other side.
