Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield showed up ready to play despite losing his top two wide receivers last week. Mayfield didn't miss a step as he completed 37-of-50 passing attempts for three touchdowns with two interceptions in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The 29-year-old now has thrown for over 300 yards in four of his last five games. The Bucs aren't going to have Mike Evans (hamstring) or Chris Godwin (ankle) for quite some time, but they've found a way to move the ball without them. He does head into a tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs next week. However, Mayfield has shown no signs of slowing down and is a must-start for fantasy managers.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, there is optimism around Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love's (groin) status for this Sunday, and he is considered day-to-day. Love underwent an MRI on Monday, confirming he escaped Sunday's victory having avoided a long-term injury. It's excellent news for Green Bay, as the 25-year-old remained in Week 8's 30-27 win over the Jaguars even after initially tweaking his groin. Still, his status for Week 9 remains to be determined. Fantasy managers will want to monitor this situation, as the Packers' game plan could change with third-year QB Malik Willis under center -- particularly the potential for a more run-centric attack. Green Bay will host their division-rival Detroit Lions this Sunday -- one of the more staunch defensive units in the league.
Still trying to decide between Mayfield and Love? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Baker Mayfield is projected to score 14.6 points this week while Jordan Love is projected to score 20.0 points.
