Baker Mayfield

In two of Mayfield's last three starts, he has finished lower than QB16 for the week. He's played well, considering the weapons he's had at his disposal. Since Week 8, among 36 qualifying quarterbacks, he ranks 33rd in yards per attempt, 17th in passer rating, 22nd in highly accurate throw rate and 24th in CPOE. Mayfield should post a solid QB2 stat line this week against a burnable Giants' secondary. Since Week 6, New York has allowed the ninth-highest yards per attempt, the third-highest CPOE, and the 12th-highest EPA per dropback. Since Week 7, Tampa Bay has had the 11th-fastest neutral pace while ranking 13th in neutral passing rate. During the same stretch of games, New York has been fifth in neutral pace and 14th in neutral passing rate.

Baker Mayfield caught 18-of-29 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers 23-20 loss against the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Mayfield kept Tampa Bay in the game all afternoon, but he didn't have a big game himself from a production standpoint. He did lead the Bucs to a game-tying field goal drive before Brock Purdy drove the 49ers back down to win the game as time expired.
