Baker Mayfield Lands on QB2 Radar for Week 7 Return

Friday, October 23, 11:14 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (thumb) has been cleared to suit up for the Week 7 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, per Greg Auman of Fox Sports. The veteran is listed as questionable, but head coach Todd Bowles already confirmed that Mayfield is ready to play. This marks the first time that Mayfield has started a game since the Week 3 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The Bucs are without top wide receiver Emeka Egbuka (foot, concussion), so Mayfield won't even have his top weapon for his return. Mayfield wasn't lighting up the box score before the injury, so we'll see what he can do without his top wideout available. Fantasy managers should put Mayfield on the QB2 radar for his return in Week 7.

Bryce Young News

Bryce Young A Solid Starting Option vs. Buccaneers

Friday, October 23, 3:05 PM

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has exceeded early-season expectations and is set for an intriguing matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7. Young completed 20 passes for 281 yards and two touchdowns in a 25-14 Week 6 win against the Philadelphia Eagles. He now has 1,549 passing yards, 12 total touchdowns, just two interceptions, and zero fumbles through five games this season. The Bucs' defense is allowing 224 passing yards per game this season, opening the door for Young to air the ball out to Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. Young is a low-end QB1 against an unreliable defense.
