Baker Mayfield Will Start Against Lions
3 years agoCleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder, knee, foot) will start in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions. Mayfield admitted that he's the most beat up he's probably ever been in his career, but he will tough it out and play this Sunday after suffering a bruised knee in the Week 10 blowout loss to the New England Patriots. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect some kind of dominating performance this weekend just because he's facing the winless Lions. In a game that the Browns can win without relying much on Mayfield's arm, we wouldn't expect Cleveland to put the injured QB in more harm's way. Through nine games, Mayfield ranks 25th in the NFL with only 246 passing attempts in this low-volume passing offense.
