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 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart sidelined for the regular season following knee surgery
Dart remains on injured reserve after undergoing surgery in late September to repair his torn meniscus and MCL. While head coach John Harbaugh left the door open for an ambitious playoff return, Dart is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season, handing starting quarterback duties to Jameis Winston.
Before his injury, the second-year passer demonstrated intriguing dual-threat ability, posting 250 passing yards and three touchdowns in two appearances following a 24-touchdown rookie campaign in 2025. With our projections modeling zero points and his roster rate falling to 16%, Dart belongs on the bench or waivers in standard redraft leagues, but dynasty managers should stash him on IR and check back regularly for updates on his recovery.
