Last week, Baker Mayfield posted only 6.7 fantasy points (QB26) in his return to the huddle. Mayfield's thumb obviously isn't 100%... it's impossible to feel good about plugging him into a fantasy lineup.

Mayfield's thumb injury limits him to QB26 production; expect another down week.

Mayfield posted only 6.7 fantasy points (QB26) in his return last week with a thumb injury that is not 100%. He threw only 11 times for 64 passing yards (5.8 yards per attempt) and one passing score, with an aDOT of 4.67 (third-lowest) and 2.49 average time to throw (seventh-lowest). Despite Tampa Bay's short-area passing approach to protect him, Mayfield had only 36.4% of throws deemed highly accurate. The source expects another down week against Atlanta, which has allowed the 13th-fewest yards per attempt, tenth-lowest passing touchdown rate, 14th-lowest EPA per dropback, 13th-best pressure rate, and ninth-best quick pressure rate over five games.
