Who Should I Start? Baker Mayfield or Mike White

Friday, November 14, 5:29 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off a solid bounce back performance against the New England Patriots last weekend. Mayfield completed 28-of-43 passing attempts for 273 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions in the loss. The Bucs remain shorthanded on offense, but that hasn't stopped Mayfield from posting strong numbers. This is a pass-heavy offense that continues to find ways to get it down despite the injuries. Fantasy managers should continue plugging in Mayfield as a QB1 for the upcoming matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Per the team, the Carolina Panthers have signed veteran quarterback Mike White from the practice squad to the active roster. Offensive lineman Brady Christensen (Achilles) was placed on IR in a corresponding move. Fortunately, Bryce Young (ankle) got in a full practice on Wednesday. However, that wasn't the case for teammate Andy Dalton (thumb). The 38-year-old picked up a thumb injury, presumably in Carolina's loss to Buffalo in Week 8, that kept him from practicing altogether. White's addition to the roster is likely just precautionary, as Young appears on track to play after a promising start to the week. Still, if Dalton trends in the wrong direction, it'll be White backing up Young when the team takes on the hosting Green Bay Packers this Sunday.
