Who Should I Start? Baker Mayfield or Jaxson Dart

Monday, November 24, 5:38 PM

After undergoing an MRI exam on Monday, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) has been diagnosed with a low-grade left (non-throwing) shoulder injury, a source tells Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Mayfield injured his left shoulder late in the first half of Sunday night's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams and did not return in the second half. He was seen wearing a sling on his left arm on the sideline. It's good news for the 30-year-old, but it's still unclear if he will play in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals. If Mayfield cannot go, veteran Teddy Bridgewater would make his first start of the year. Mayfield, who has been on the QB1/2 borderline in fantasy football in recent weeks, should be considered questionable for the next game for now. We should have a better idea of his Week 13 status when Tampa resumes practicing on Wednesday.

ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports that New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) did not have a setback with his head injury, according to multiple sources. Dart is feeling better but remained limited in practice on Friday. The decision to hold the 22-year-old signal-caller out for a second straight game in Week 12 against the Detroit Lions was made by team doctors to play it safe with Dart. The Ole Miss product should be able to clear the NFL's concussion protocol to play in Week 13 against the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. Since taking over the starting QB gig in New York, Dart has provided a spark for the offense, throwing for 1,417 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions while also rushing for 317 yards and seven touchdowns. Veteran Jameis Winston is expected to make a second straight start in Detroit on Sunday with Dart sidelined.
