Who Should I Start? Baker Mayfield or Jordan Love

Friday, September 26, 2:38 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (right biceps) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's heavyweight battle with the defending champion Eagles, according to head coach Todd Bowles. However, Bowles told reporters during his Friday press conference that Mayfield, Chris Godwin (ankle), and Tristan Wirfs (knee) are all trending in the right direction for Week 4. While the Buccaneers have yet to release their final injury report of the week, Mayfield was seen throwing before Friday's practice, and all signs indicate that he will be available on Sunday. Mayfield's 6-to-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio through three weeks trails only two-time MVP Lamar Jackson, and his trademark grittiness has defined the team's identity on their way to a 3-0 start. With Mike Evans (hamstring) already ruled out for Sunday, look for Mayfield to build upon his quickly established rapport with rookie receiver Emeka Egbuka.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love looks to shrug off a loss to the Browns in Week 3 when the Packers head to AT&T Stadium to play the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. Love has had to bank on efficiency through the first few weeks of the season, but for all the great things about the Packers' offense that we've seen, it's not a fantasy-friendly offense. Love has not been a top 12 quarterback in fantasy in each of the season's three weeks, capping out at QB13 in his Week 2 matchup against the Commanders. Passing volume is a major concern for the Packers as well, as Green Bay sports the third-lowest raw pass rate (53 percent) in the NFL and has just one game over 30 passing attempts since Week 9 of 2024: against the Commanders in Week 2. That game was also just the fourth game of 20+ fantasy points for Love in his last 16 starts where he didn't leave the game dating back to 2023. The Packers have a prime matchup against the Cowboys, who have given up the most passing yardage in the NFL. Still, Love cannot be a trusted fantasy QB1 this week with passing volume concerns.
