Who Should I Start? Baker Mayfield or Bryce Young

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (left shoulder) was a full participant in Friday's practice session, but is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Mayfield was upgraded to full after missing Wednesday's practice and being limited on Thursday. Head coach Todd Bowles said that the 30-year-old looked good in practice on Friday and is trending towards playing on Sunday against the Cardinals. Mayfield suffered a low-grade AC joint sprain to his left shoulder during Tampa Bay's Week 12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, and while he has a favorable matchup this week against an Arizona defense that has struggled recently, he projects as more of a high-end QB2 in Week 13 with the possibility of a re-injury.

Bryce Young is not worthy of consideration for fantasy lineups in Week 13. In Week 12, the Carolina QB logged 10.3 fantasy points and one passing touchdown. He also completed 18-for-29 attempts for 169 passing yards and threw two interceptions. In the past four weeks, Young scored less than 11 fantasy points in three games and surpassed 200 passing yards only once. Carolina faces the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13. The Rams rank fifth in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to QBs this season. The Rams' pass defense has also registered 12 interceptions, which is the third-most in the league. Due to the unfavorable matchup against Los Angeles and underwhelming fantasy totals on the year, Young should be benched in all formats. Fantasy players should consider an alternative if available in Superflex leagues.
