Baker Mayfield

Start Mayfield in most lineups — he can run and score, and his new receivers make multiple touchdowns more likely. But the Texans’ heavy pass rush and tough corner can wreck his game, so pick someone safer if you need a steady score; if you’re chasing a big week or pairing him with Evans and Egbuka, play him.

Start Baker Mayfield this week — Atlanta lets up a lot of passing touchdowns and the game should be high scoring, and Mayfield has shown he can hit multiple TDs against them. Don’t lock him in as your season-long guy though; his touchdown rate looks unsustainably high, so watch his TDs and who he’s throwing to and avoid overpaying for him in drafts.

Draft him in the late rounds, not the middle. He has great receivers and can have big games, but a new coach and likely fewer touchdowns make him risky, so wait until later.

Draft Baker Mayfield in the late rounds as a backup quarterback, not your starter. He slipped after Week 6 last year and lost a veteran receiver, so he’s a risky, hit-or-miss pick best used as a cheap bench option.
