Negative signalProjection

Mayfield's Week 2 regression and protection issues limit receiver upside.

Mayfield's Week 2 performance against Cincinnati was a stark contrast to his Week 1 'revenge game' against Cleveland. His passing aDOT increased from 4.5 to 12.3 yards, time to throw rose from 2.79 to 3.08 seconds, and passing success rate dropped from 50.0% to 32.4%. Despite facing a 36.1% pressure rate, only five of 13 pressures came in 2.5 seconds or less, suggesting Mayfield's decision-making and protection issues are limiting his receivers' upside.
