Who Should I Start? Patrick Mahomes or Baker Mayfield

Friday, September 26, 10:30 PM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was listed on the injury report with a right wrist injury, but practiced fully all week and was removed from the report ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Mahomes was listed on last week's injury report with the same wrist issue, but practiced fully and played last week. The Chiefs quarterback completed 22 of his 37 pass attempts (60%) for 224 yards and a touchdown in the team's 22-9 victory over the New York Giants last week. Mahomes had his worst fantasy output of this season in Week 3 despite winning the game by a comfortable margin. The former MVP will get the chance to bounce back this week against another AFC powerhouse in the Ravens. Baltimore has been an advantageous matchup to begin the season, allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks to start the year. The Ravens offense is also first in points per game this season, which makes this matchup a potential shootout. This game has an over/under of 48.5, making it tied for the second-highest total of the week. Mahomes should also benefit from the return of Xavier Worthy after he missed the last few games with a dislocated shoulder. Mahomes is ranked QB7 in our RotoBaller rankings this week, making him a strong start. The stars are aligning for the Chiefs superstar to have a big game, and he is capable of delivering.

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.
