Availability
Baker Mayfield completed 16-of-22 passes for 203 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Buccaneers 16-14 win over the Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Mayfield added another 31 yards on the ground. He had one poor throw for an interception, but otherwise gave it his all in the win for Tampa Bay. Despite that performance, Carolina still won the division with the Falcons defeating the Saints on Sunday.
Baker Mayfield (shoulder/knee) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
After being limited on Tuesday, Mayfield was back up to a full practice. The Bucs will need him to be at his best as they try to give themselves a shot at making the playoffs after an abysmal end to this season.
Baker Mayfield was listed as limited in practice on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Mayfield remains on the injury report with right shoulder and knee issues. He should be good to go for Saturday's win-or-go-home game against the Panthers.
Baker Mayfield was forced to air it out often during Sunday's 20-17 loss to Miami, resulting in a season-high 33 completions on 44 attempts for 346 yards and two touchdowns. The veteran quarterback also added 16 rushing yards on three carries, but his production was marred by three turnovers—two interceptions and a lost fumble.
Fantasy Impact
Mayfield connected with Chris Godwin and Mike Evans for short touchdowns, posting his second 300-yard passing performance of the season as the Buccaneers played from behind for much of the contest. However, his late-game miscues proved critical in the defeat. Mayfield and the Buccaneers will now face the Panthers in a decisive Week 18 matchup that will determine the NFC South champion.
Baker Mayfield completed 18-of-26 passes for 145 yards with a touchdown and a pick in the Bucs' 23-20 loss to Carolina. He also ran four times for 49 yards.
Fantasy Impact
Mayfield didn't have an awful game in terms of completion percentage; he simply couldn't get the ball going downfield aside from a long ball to Emeka Egbuka. He threw the game-sealing interception as the Bucs were trying to make a comeback, but he and WR Mike Evans were not on the same page, with Evans cutting right and Mayfield throwing left into the waiting arms of a Panthers defender. With their playoff chances slipping away, Baker will need to start cooking to get them back in the conversation.
