Baker Mayfield 2020 Outlook: QB Looks To Rebound This Season
5 years agoCleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield suffered through a sophomore slump in 2019. After setting a rookie record with 27 touchdown passes in 2018, Mayfield fell to 22 TDs and 21 interceptions in 2019. While plenty of the blame falls on Mayfield, one can also point to a weak pass-blocking offensive line in Cleveland and some poor play-calling by former head coach Freddie Kitchens. The Browns focused on improving their offensive line this season, signing right tackle Jack Conklin away from the Titans and using the No. 10 overall pick on tackle Jedrick Wills. The Browns return a loaded group of skill position players, so the pressure will be on Mayfield to prove his 2019 season was a fluke. Mayfield is being drafted around pick No. 106 as the QB13, making him a solid choice for fantasy drafters who choose to wait on selecting a quarterback. He should end up being a nice value for his drafters at that price.
