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.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew II was substituted in when lead quarterback Aidan O'Connell (thumb) was forced out for the rest of the game due to an injury when the Raiders played the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. The former Jacksonville Jaguar finished the game, but it was a dreadful outing. H completed 15 of 34 passes for 154 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions. He also carried the ball once for two yards and lost a fumble. Las Vegas lost 15-20, so it's safe to say the giveaways were the difference. O'Connell seems to be set to miss time, so Minshew could start against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8. He's difficult to trust against KC's elite defense, even in 2QB leagues.
