Kyle Trask Continues His Strong Play

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Kyle Trask continued to step up and deliver despite being named the backup to open the season. The 25-year-old spent a majority of the preseason competing with Baker Mayfield for the starting gig in Tampa Bay. The Bucs ultimately decided to go with Mayfield as their starter. Despite that, Trask continued his strong preseason versus the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. Trask completed 19-of-31 passing attempts for 192 yards and a touchdown in the win. He has been able to limit the turnovers and make some big plays on offense. The former second-round pick is set to backup Mayfield, but will be the next man up off the bench.

Kyle Trask To Open Season As Backup

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Kyle Trask lost his battle for the starting job under center to Baker Mayfield, as head coach Todd Bowles announced on Tuesday that Mayfield will open the 2023 regular season as the team's starter. It doesn't mean that Trask won't play meaningful snaps under center for the Bucs this year, but he won't get the starting nod on Sept. 10 against the Minnesota Vikings. Mayfield was the favorite all along, but Trask impressed the coaching staff in training camp and went 20-for-28 for 218 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions in Saturday's preseason win over the New York Jets. If the second-rounder in 2021 does end up starting games for Tampa at some point this year, he'll be a low-end QB2 option for those in superflex leagues.

Kyle Trask Surprises In Win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Kyle Trask was tasked with making the start under center versus the New York Jets on Saturday. The 25-year-old served as the QB2 during the preseason opener, but appeared as the starter this time around. Trask was able to do his job and take care of the football during this game. He completed 20-of-28 passing attempts for 218 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Jets. Baker Mayfield remains the favorite to win the starting job, but Trask has made this a legitimate competition after his performance on Saturday.
