Who Should I Start? Baker Mayfield or Bryce Young

Friday, November 14, 5:29 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off a solid bounce back performance against the New England Patriots last weekend. Mayfield completed 28-of-43 passing attempts for 273 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions in the loss. The Bucs remain shorthanded on offense, but that hasn't stopped Mayfield from posting strong numbers. This is a pass-heavy offense that continues to find ways to get it down despite the injuries. Fantasy managers should continue plugging in Mayfield as a QB1 for the upcoming matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) had one of the best games of his career in Week 11, completing 31 of 45 pass attempts for 448 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions in a win over the Atlanta Falcons. Unfortunately for Young, he also suffered an ankle injury that may affect his status for Week 12. Young was able to finish the game against Atlanta, but Panthers head coach Dave Canales said the team won't have an update on Young's ankle until Thursday. The Panthers play the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. If Young can play, he could be in a position to build upon his Week 11 breakout against the shorthanded San Francisco defense. However, Young has topped 200 passing yards just twice in 10 games this season, so expectations should be at least somewhat limited. Young profiles as a solid fantasy QB2 heading into Week 12.
