Expert
Isaiah Sirois FantasyPros	I'm out on Baker Mayfield this week. The Oklahoma product scored 15.8 and 14.1 points against the Ravens last year, and while those are decent numbers, they came with ex-head coach Freddie Kitchens at the helm. New head coach (and offensive play-caller) Kevin Stefanski should emphasize the run a good bit more, and that'll reduce Mayfield's volume-based value. Worse, the Ravens' defense is one of the best in the league, and Marcus Peters could easily snag a pick on Sunday. Avoid Mayfield even in 2QB/superflex formats.
Zachary Hanshew FantasyPros	Mayfield noticeably regressed in 2019, and this is a make-or-break year for the 2018 No. 1 pick. Under new head coach Kevin Stefanski, the Browns will likely adopt a more run-friendly gameplan designed to limit Mayfield's volume and increase his efficiency. His real-life numbers should improve, and he will likely take a step forward, but Week 1 at Baltimore won't be the time to break out. It's a tough matchup, and I'll fade Baker here.
Jacob Wayne Lineups	Baker Mayfield should benefit greatly from the offseason overhaul the Browns underwent offensively. Jack Conklin will be a force at left tackle, Austin Hooper should provide a productive safety blanket over the middle, and Kevin Stefanski should boost Mayfield's efficiency exponentially. However, the Ravens allowed the 2nd-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks last year and Mayfield averaged about 15 points in two games against them last year. Mayfield has some upside this season but I don't want to play him in Week 1.
Mike Tagliere FantasyPros	It was a bad season for everyone involved on the Browns last year, and Mayfield was no exception. The crazy part about this matchup, however, is that Mayfield has thrown for 342 or more yards in three of his four career games against the Ravens. He's also thrown seven touchdowns in those four games, so he hasn't been useless like many quarterbacks have against John Harbaugh's defense. As crazy as it may sound, Mayfield had two of the top six quarterback performances the Ravens allowed last year. That's not saying much, as they allowed just one quarterback more than 15.8 fantasy points, but it's still noteworthy. The Ravens defense is loaded with talent, though losing Earl Thomas is going to hurt. The Ravens have gone from Tony Jefferson and Thomas, to now starting DeShon Elliott and Chuck Clark. Their cornerback unit is one of the best in the game, and they held Odell Beckham to just six catches for 64 yards over the two games combined last year. Knowing Jarvis Landry is coming off hip surgery, the top two options that Mayfield has may struggle against these cornerbacks. Under Kevin Stefanski, we should be expecting a run-heavy attack, though that will need to be abandoned if they fall behind, like the line suggests. There are too many unknowns here to start Mayfield with any confidence in this matchup, especially considering the way this team looked last year. If you want to play Mayfield, do it in tournaments, as the over/under is higher than expected.
