Read Baker Mayfield's fantasy football outlook for Week 5 of the NFL season. Notes, updates, analysis and advice including predictions for his upcoming matchup.
Mayfield could be in for another rough outing for fantasy managers against the Los Angeles Chargers pass defense that has given up the fifth-fewest passing yards through the first four weeks of the season. Considering how run-heavy the Cleveland offense is, we will likely be seeing a heavy dose of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt to take advantage of the Chargers’ fourth-worst run defense that is allowing 5.3 yards per carry.
Mayfield has struggled to find consistency early on as he has thrown just two touchdown passes through the first four games of the season, and has once again struggled to find chemistry with his WR1 Odell Beckham Jr. . The Chargers have allowed just 6.6 yards per pass attempt, which is not exactly ideal for a quarterback who is likely to be short of volume in this one. This, coupled with the fact they have given up just six passing touchdowns in four games makes the Cleveland quarterback an easy fade in one-QB fantasy leagues. In two-QB and super-flex leagues, he can be valued as a low-end QB2 in this game.
