Who Should I Start? Baker Mayfield or Joe Burrow

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has reached a three-year extension with the organization. The former No. 1 overall pick has agreed to a three-year, $100 million extension. The deal reportedly includes $50 million in guaranteed money and Mayfield can earn up to $115 million over the next three seasons. This is a well-earned extension for Mayfield who did fantastic in his first year with Tampa Bay. Mayfield threw for over 4,000 yards with 28 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while leading the team to a postseason victory. The Bucs have already brought back Mike Evans and now Mayfield as they look to defend their division title.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) has been plagued by numerous injuries over the years. He suffered a season-ending knee injury as a rookie and was burdened by a calf strain early in the 2023-24 campaign. As a result, he struggled by throwing just two touchdowns in the first four games of the season. Unfortunately, despite turning things around, the signal-caller sustained a wrist injury in November and had another season end abruptly. But Burrow is adamant he's doing everything he can to stay on the field this season. "I'm confident I've put all the work in I need to make sure I'm healthy," said Burrow while speaking to Geoff Hobson of the team's official site. "I'm continuing year-to-year to better hone that and make that more efficient." The former LSU Tiger is anticipated to be cleared well before Week 1 but will continue to rehab in the immediate future. With that said, Burrow has the potential to be the top quarterback in the National Football League. Yet, his inability to stay healthy is something that will remain a significant concern for fantasy managers.
