Baker Mayfield News
Sunday, October 4, 4:35 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (thumb) is expected to miss anywhere from three to six weeks, depending on how quickly he is able to grip the football, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Mayfield has avoided an injured reserve stint for now, but the Bucs will give him at least a few weeks off after he recovers from a dislocated thumb and works to regain his grip strength. Mayfield is just two years removed from a QB4 fantasy finish in 2024, but he has taken a step backward since then. Through the first three games this year, he completed just 63.5% of his pass attempts for 615 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also had a rushing touchdown, 13 sacks, and three lost fumbles. Mayfield is a risky fantasy starter when healthy, and the same can be said of undrafted free agent Jalon Daniels, who will make his first career start as the Bucs' primary quarterback against the Green Bay Packers in Week 4.

Jakobi Meyers News
Saturday, October 3, 11:24 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is trending up in fantasy football. After catching just three passes through the first two weeks, Meyers exploded with seven catches, 64 yards, and one touchdown last Sunday against his old team, the New England Patriots. Parker Washington is still the top Jaguars receiver in fantasy football, but Meyers' big performance in Week 3 has cemented him as a strong WR3/flex option going forward. Meyers ranks first in the NFL in target separation against man coverage this year, and he also ranks first in quarterback rating when targeted. The underlying metrics suggest that Meyers should have a much bigger role than he has occupied this season, so we don't think that his big Week 3 was any sort of fluke. This week, he'll also benefit from a matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, whose pass defense has been nothing special. Cincinnati ranks near the middle of the league with the 15th-fewest fantasy points allowed to wide receivers in 2026.
