Baker Mayfield

It wasn't a massive fantasy performance out of Mayfield last week, though he was very efficient while completing 18-of-22 passes for 238 yards (10.8 yards per attempt). Teams have had trouble running the ball against the Broncos as of late, so we should see the attempts rise a bit this week. After losing Chris Harris Jr. in the secondary, the Broncos are suddenly a matchup to target for opposing quarterbacks. Nick Mullens took full advantage last week when he piled up 332 yards and two touchdowns on just 33 attempts, while missing his starting running back and possession receiver. Truth be told, the Broncos have been on a downward spiral for quite some time now, as they've allowed 324.5 pass yards per game and 9.0 yards per attempt over the last six weeks. They've also allowed 12 passing touchdowns in that time but have intercepted seven passes as well. They'll be without Harris Jr. and potentially Tramaine Brock as well, so we should see Mayfield back on the streaming radar for this game. They're projected for just 20.5 points but that feels a bit low. He should be considered a high-end QB2 this week against a Broncos team trending in the wrong direction.

Baker Mayfield efficient in win

Fantasy Impact

It wasn’t a huge fantasy day for Mayfield but he got the job done on the field. It stands as an excellent bounce back performance after his rough start against Houston in the previous week. Mayfield will remain an upside QB2 in Week 15 against the Broncos.
