Baker Mayfield Continues to Produce Despite Banged-Up Wide Receiver Corps

Sunday, October 12, 9:52 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield led his team to its fifth win of the season in Week 6, beating the San Francisco 49ers 30-19. Mayfield completed 17 of his 23 pass attempts for 256 yards and two touchdowns without throwing an interception and added 14 rushing yards on three carries. The 30-year-old has now thrown for 1,309 yards and 12 touchdowns in his first six games of 2025. Tampa Bay entered Week 6 without wide receivers Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (leg), and Jalen McMillan (neck), and then lost star rookie wideout Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) to a hamstring injury during the game. It's currently unclear how long the Buccaneers will be without their top four wide receivers. Regardless, Mayfield has proven himself to be a worthy fantasy QB1 on a week-to-week basis.

Jalen Hurts Throws First Interception While Setting Season-High in Yardage

Friday, October 10, 12:24 AM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 24 of his 33 pass attempts for 283 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during Thursday's Week 6 loss to the New York Giants. He also added seven carries for 13 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. Hurts set a season high in passing yards but also threw his first turnover of the year -- both of which are somewhat expected when a low passing volume quarterback suddenly has to throw the ball 33 times. The Eagles have now lost two straight games, and some of Hurts' passing struggles could be a reason why. His schedule doesn't get any easier as he takes on a talented, well-coached Vikings defense in Week 7.
