Baker Mayfield Could Struggle In Week 8

Baker Mayfield Could Struggle In Week 8

4 weeks ago

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has been an early season MVP candidate with his performance on the field. Last week, Mayfield completed 31-of-45 passing attempts for 370 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The Bucs have taken a huge hit to their offense with both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) sidelined for the foreseeable future. It could be tough for the Bucs offense to continue succeeding like they were with Sterling Shepard and Jalen McMillan as their top wideouts. The expectation is that running back Rachaad White and tight end Cade Otton see more involvement in the passing game. However, there's a good chance that Mayfield struggles to put up the same type of fantasy value without his top two passing options. Mayfield should be considered a low-end QB1 for the Week 8 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
