Baker Mayfield fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 5 (2024). Should you start or sit Baker Mayfield for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end QB1
ANALYSIS: Baker Mayfield is shaping up to be a strong start in Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons and can be viewed as a top-12 quarterback option.
Last week, Mayfield showcased his ability to lead a productive passing attack, completing 30 passes for 347 yards and two touchdowns. With the Buccaneers' offense clicking, Mayfield has shown great chemistry with his wide receivers, particularly Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, which has elevated his fantasy potential.
The Falcons rank 19th in pass defense this season, offering Mayfield a favorable matchup where he can continue to build on his recent success through the air.

Mayfield's consistent play this season and his ability to spread the ball around and capitalize on red zone opportunities give him a high ceiling in Week 5.
His improved efficiency and ability to push the ball downfield make him a reliable fantasy option, especially for managers needing a streaming quarterback or a steady QB1.
Tampa Bay’s offensive rhythm should give Mayfield plenty of chances to rack up points against Atlanta’s defense, and with his weapons firing on all cylinders, he’s primed to deliver another solid fantasy performance this week. If you are in need of a quarterback, Mayfield is a solid play.
