Should You Start or Sit Mayfield in Week 14?
Mayfield was gutty on Sunday against the Cardinals, as we’ve come to expect, but the help wasn’t there, and the game didn’t skew in the needed direction for him to impact fantasy lineups.
Sadly, I think there’s a good chance we see more of the same in this spot with his Bucs installed as more than a touchdown favorite.
Chris Godwin looked far better than I expected, but he dropped a touchdown over the weekend, and he wasn’t the only one to let his QB down. Following the dropped score, Mayfield did what anyone would: he found the best set of hands on the team and went that way.
Tristan Wirfs with the thick man touchdown!
Mayfield has only two top-15 finishes at the position since getting there in Week 6 and he’s in a logjam of a tier that extended from QB11 down to QB17. At the moment, he checks in as my QB12, just behind Jordan Love and ahead of Daniel Jones.
