Baker Mayfield

Baker Mayfield suffered an ankle injury during Week 6's loss to the Chargers. While he'll receive treatment on the ankle this week, he's not expected to miss time as a result of the injury.

Fantasy Impact

Mayfield was seen tweaking the ankle while running out of bounds in the team's blowout loss to the Chargers. Owners were hoping for more from Mayfield this week, but he'll have an opportunity to redeem himself against an awful Buccaneers secondary Week 7.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield struggled in a Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Mayfield completed 22 of 46 passes for 238 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in a 38-14 loss.

Fantasy Impact

The Los Angeles pass rush gave Mayfield fits in this contest, which forced several errant throws and saw him take a few big hits. The rookie quarterback should be much better in Week 7 against a weak Buccaneers pass defense. He heads into that contest with four touchdowns and five interceptions in four games played.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield led his team to their second win of the season, passing for 342 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against the Ravens in Week 5. The team was able to pull out a 12-9 win at the end of overtime to raise their record to 2-2-1.

Fantasy Impact

Mayfield connected with Rashard Higgins for a 19-yard score in the third quarter while attempting a career-high 43 passes. Mayfield now has two touchdowns and two interceptions in just over 10 quarters of play. He will take on the Chargers in Week 6.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield had an inconsistent day in his team's 45-42 overtime loss to the Raiders. Mayfield completed 21 of his 41 passes for 295 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions.

Fantasy Impact

Mayfield also lost two fumbles, one on a strip sack and one when he wasn't ready for the snap. It is hard to blame him for one of his interceptions as it came on a tipped ball by Antonio Callaway. Despite the mistakes, Mayfield gave his team a shot to win the game. The rookie quarterback also threw his first NFL touchdown in the game, a 49-yard strike to Darren Fells. He will look to keep it going in Week 5 against the Ravens.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero is reporting the Cleveland Browns have officially named QB Baker Mayfield their starting quarterback.

Fantasy Impact

It comes to no surprise that Mayfield is the new Browns QB1. It was not only the expected outcome, but it was a no-brainer, especially with the way that Tyrod Taylor has played through the first 10 quarters of the year. Mayfield lit a spark for a Browns team that we haven't seen in many years, and barring a setback, it should continue moving forward. However, from a fantasy perspective, it will be difficult to trust Mayfield, as rookies are generally inconsistent at quarterback. But he does raise the values -- and morale -- of the players around him. Mayfield will make his first career start against the 0-3 Raiders in Week 4.
