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.

Drake Maye vs. Jets — Red-Hot Quarterback Primed for Another Strong Outing

Drake Maye has caught fire over his last two games, leading New England to consecutive wins while racking up 643 passing yards and eight total touchdowns. The offense has found its rhythm, keeping pressure off Maye and unlocking his downfield aggression with weapons like Hunter Henry and DeMario Douglas.

Our weekly projections forecast another productive afternoon with 220 passing yards, 1.5 passing scores, and 28 rushing yards (19.9 fantasy points) as home favorites against the Jets. With his start rate surging to 86%, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.
