Sit Mayfield; his poor efficiency and limited volume make him a fade despite expected volume increase.

Since his return to the lineup, Baker Mayfield has averaged only seven passing attempts and 32 passing yards per game. Beyond the weather factor in one game, Mayfield has struggled with the passing attempts he has received, posting only 4.5 yards per attempt, a 6.58 average depth of target, and a 42.9% highly accurate throw rate since Week 7. The source expects him to pass more out of necessity this week but also expects the Bucs to hide him as much as possible, recommending to sit Mayfield and fade the passing attack overall.
