The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Baker Mayfield.

Should You Start or Sit Baker Mayfield in Week 7?
Since joining the Bucs, Mayfield has thrown multiple touchdown passes in eight of 11 road games; as long as Mike Evans can shake off a few injuries from Week 6, I like his chances to extend that positive trend.
Baltimore has allowed over 20 fantasy points to a quarterback three times already, though they did manage to slow down Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. On the whole, we’ve seen much more bad than good from the Ravens’ secondary. With Mayfield finishing as a top-seven QB in five of six weeks, he’s a good bet to pick on their flaws.
If you had told me two months ago that I’d have Mayfield ranked ahead of not one but both quarterbacks in the 49ers/Chiefs game, I would have called you crazy — but that’s where we sit.
