STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Mayfield's strong underlying metrics suggest Week 1 was an outlier; expect rebound vs. Browns.

Mayfield flopped in Week 1 due to three lost fumbles, but underlying metrics were strong: seventh in success rate, third in CPOE, and sixth in EPA per play on non-turnover plays. Assuming normal fumble rates, he should return to form against a Browns defense that was shredded by the Jags in Week 1.
