Baker Mayfield Merits Consideration Only In Superflex Leagues
2 years agoLos Angeles Rams quarterback Baker Mayfield has had another week to study the Rams' playbook before he takes on the Green Bay Packers at frigid Lambeau Field in Week 15. The Packers present a more formidable defense than the Las Vegas Raiders, against whom Mayfield led his unbelievable comeback win but only finished as the QB16. While Vegas allows the fourth-most passing yards per game, Green Bay allows the fifth-fewest. The Packers' defense also stops opponents from converting on third downs at a five-points higher clip. The cold weather, which is forecast to hit a high of 21 degrees Fahrenheit, can't help much. Mayfield's is an exciting story to watch to see if he can resurrect his career, but he is not as exciting from a fantasy perspective. While he may be able to slip into the top 24 QBs, making him a viable low-end No. 2 in two QB leagues, he should not be a consideration as a QB1.
