Baker Mayfield vs PIT — Trending doubtful with thumb injury

Baker Mayfield remains doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers as he continues to recover from a dislocated right thumb. After missing practice again late in the week, he has yet to resume throwing in earnest, paving the way for backup Jalon Daniels to make another start under center. Be sure to check back often for the latest updates on Mayfield's progress.

Fantasy managers have responded accordingly, leaving his start rate at under 1% across leagues. While our models offer a projection of 5.6 fantasy points and 83 passing yards in the event of emergency action, Mayfield cannot be trusted in active lineups. Keep him firmly on fantasy benches or IR slots until he is medically cleared and logs full practices.

Outlook Jared Goff

Jared Goff @ ARI — Primed for Shootout Potential in Arizona

Goff enters Week 5 operating with peak efficiency, having compiled over 1,200 passing yards and nine touchdowns without an interception through four games. In a clean indoor venue at Arizona and surrounded by healthy weapons like Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta, Detroit's passing attack is primed for another productive outing.

In a matchup boasting high scoring expectations, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats. Our weekly projection forecasts Goff for 299 passing yards and roughly 2.5 passing touchdowns (24.2 fantasy points), solidifying him as an elite play with a high floor.
