BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 54% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: With multiple QB injuries in Week 15, many fantasy managers were forced to make some tough roster decisions. If you took a chance on Baker Mayfield for the first round of the fantasy playoffs, you were rewarded with one of the best quarterback performances of the week.
Mayfield went into Lambeau Field and completed 22 of 28 passes for 381 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. That marked the second consecutive game where Mayfield has eclipsed 20.0 fantasy points and his first game this season with over 30.0 points.
My goodness.
Baker Mayfield becomes the first visiting QB EVER with a PERFECT Passer Rating (158.3) at Lambeau Field.

It isn’t fair to expect this production every week, but Mayfield does have boom potential with weapons like Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Rachaad White at his disposal.
Mayfield gets a home game against the Jaguars in Week 16, which means he could have another 20+ point performance on the horizon.
