Who Should I Start? Baker Mayfield or Bo Nix

Friday, September 26, 2:38 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (right biceps) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's heavyweight battle with the defending champion Eagles, according to head coach Todd Bowles. However, Bowles told reporters during his Friday press conference that Mayfield, Chris Godwin (ankle), and Tristan Wirfs (knee) are all trending in the right direction for Week 4. While the Buccaneers have yet to release their final injury report of the week, Mayfield was seen throwing before Friday's practice, and all signs indicate that he will be available on Sunday. Mayfield's 6-to-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio through three weeks trails only two-time MVP Lamar Jackson, and his trademark grittiness has defined the team's identity on their way to a 3-0 start. With Mike Evans (hamstring) already ruled out for Sunday, look for Mayfield to build upon his quickly established rapport with rookie receiver Emeka Egbuka.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has had his share of ups and downs through the first three weeks of the season. He threw two interceptions and completed only 62.5% of his attempts in the Week 1 win over the Titans. While the signal-caller played much better in Week 2, his efforts weren't enough to lead Denver to another win. Most recently in Week 3 versus the Los Angeles Chargers, Nix would finish that one by tossing for 153 yards and one touchdown off a rough 14-for-25 passing (56.0%). Without question, he hasn't been the most reliable fantasy quarterback. Although Nix has a chance to get it together on Monday night against the Bengals, a team that could be without Shemar Stewart (ankle) and Cam Taylor-Britt (hamstring), fantasy managers in single-QB setups will still be rolling the dice by starting him. On the other hand, Nix should still find a home in Superflex lineups, especially with so many ailing quarterbacks around the National Football League.
