Outlook Baker Mayfield

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 Jordan Love

Jordan Love vs Dallas — primed for another big outing in high-scoring spot

Love is coming off a sensational performance against Chicago, torching the secondary for 367 yards and two touchdowns while excelling on deep throws. With his pass protection noticeably improving over the last two weeks, he is finding his rhythm in the pocket and distributing the ball with supreme confidence across his receiving corps.

Fantasy managers have responded by pushing his start rate up to 78% heading into a premier home matchup against Dallas that carries serious shootout potential. We project Love for 309 passing yards and over two touchdowns (22.5 fantasy points), cementing him as a strong start with top-tier weekly upside.
