Baker Mayfield Racks Up Yardage In High-Scoring Week 7

Tuesday, October 22, 12:47 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 31 of 45 passes for 370 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions during Monday's Week 7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He also rushed for 22 yards and took three sacks. While Mayfield's turnover problems were worrisome, he bailed out his fantasy managers by racking up passing yards and adding three touchdowns. On a positive note, Mayfield has been a top-three fantasy quarterback this year, and that trend continued on Monday. However, the bad news is that he'll move forward without wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle), who dislocated his ankle near the end of the Ravens game and is likely done for the year. Mayfield should still be started in most leagues against the Atlanta Falcons next week.

Colts Putting Faith In Anthony Richardson

Monday, October 21, 9:59 PM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has struggled as a passer early on in the season. Richardson saw his struggles continue on Sunday when he completed 41.7 percent of his passes for 129 yards in the win over the Miami Dolphins. Despite his struggles, head coach Shane Steichen is showing faith in his young-signal caller and even said he needs to put Richardson in better positions to succeed. In parts of five games, Richardson has thrown for 783 yards with three touchdowns and six interceptions. The Colts are sticking with Richardson, but fantasy managers might want to look for another viable option given his struggles.
