Case Keenum News
Saturday, October 3, 5:48 AM
Chicago Bears quarterback Case Keenum is not guaranteed to start in this Sunday's matchup against the visiting New York Jets. The 38-year-old was called into action in Week 3 after backup Tyson Bagent couldn't clear concussion protocol in time to work in stead of starter Caleb Williams (hamstring). Keenum was darn-near electric in Chicago's 27-7 victory over the Eagles, and all indications pointed to him getting the nod again in Week 4. However, head coach Ben Johnson has kept his quarterback decision for the team's clash with New York close to the vest. It's likely just a bit of gamesmanship from Johnson, but, notably, Bagent worked with the starting offense during practice this week. If he's active, Keenum will get a Jets defense that's been stingy against the pass, allowing the opposition a measly 171 yards per game. The veteran is a fringe QB2 after a promising first outing, landing officially as RotoBaller's QB25 as we approach the season's quarter mark.

Baker Mayfield News
Friday, October 30, 11:03 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is hopeful for better results this weekend after struggling to move the ball through the air last week. In Week 7, Mayfield completed 7-of-11 passing attempts for 64 passing yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions in the win over the Carolina Panthers. Mayfield wore a protective glove on his throwing hand, which might've impacted the Bucs offensive gameplan. The Bucs were dominating on the ground, so they didn't ask Mayfield to do much. The hope is that Mayfield will do more damage through the air against the Atlanta Falcons this weekend. A defense that ranks 29th against the pass this season. They've allowed an average of 255.6 passing yards per game and 11 passing touchdowns. The unknown about whether the dislocated thumb is still bothering Mayfield will keep him on the QB2 radar despite a great matchup. He's currently ranked as Rotoballer's QB19 for Week 8.
