Baker Mayfield Expected To Play In Week 14
5 years agoCleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (hand) doesn't think the right hand injury he suffered in Week 13's loss to the Steelers will keep him from suiting up in Week 14 against the Bengals. “I fully expect to be able to play,” Mayfield said during his postgame news conference. Head coach Freddie Kitchens said the injury is "a contusion right now, a bruise." Mayfield missed two snaps on Sunday when his hand hit the face mask of outside linebacker Bud Dupree. X-rays came back negative at halftime and the quarterback wore a white glove on his right hand in the second half. Mayfield went 18-for-32 for 196 yards, a touchdown, interception and lost fumble in the disappointing outing. Injury aside, he's been a big letdown for fantasy owners in 2019. He does have a good matchup in Week 14 against Cincinnati, but we doubt many owners will be relying on Mayfield in the fantasy playoffs.
