Baker Mayfield has QB1 Upside for Week 2

Friday, September 18, 10:52 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is looking to rebound after a messy performance against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. Mayfield looked fine as a passer, completing 23-of-27 passing attempts for 216 yards. He didn't throw any touchdowns, but he also didn't throw any interceptions. The biggest problem for Mayfield was his three fumbles during Sunday's loss. Luckily, Mayfield will have a great chance of rebounding in Week 2. He'll draw a matchup against the Cleveland Browns defense that allowed 10.7 yards per pass attempt last week. The Browns also allowed four passing touchdowns in their season opener. Mayfield has a great chance to bounce back against his former team. Fantasy managers should treat him as a high-end QB2 with QB1 upside for Week 2.

Kyler Murray News

Jordan Addison A Strong Pickup With Kyler Murray Expected Back

Thursday, September 24, 6:45 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison and the rest of the Vikings passing attack is trending up with the return of Kyler Murray on the horizon. Addison has started the season off slow but that could change with Murray coming back from his opening-game injury. Addison was targeted five times in Week 2's win over the Chicago Bears with Carson Wentz at quarterback and hauled in two passes for 21 yards. That was after Addison failed to catch a pass on just two targets in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers. Addison is a capable WR2 for the Vikings behind Justin Jefferson and for fantasy teams when he is right. He has the potential of a capable pass-catcher lining up opposite of Jefferson. He is definitely trending in the right direction and could be a very wise pickup ahead of the Vikings matchup with the Buccaneers in Week 3.
