Baker Mayfield at Cincinnati Offers Streaming Appeal in High Scoring Opener

Fresh off signing a massive three-year contract extension, Baker Mayfield enters the season opener fully secured as Tampa Bay's franchise leader with a healthy pass-catching corps featuring Chris Godwin Jr. and Emeka Egbuka.

Facing Cincinnati on the road in an expected shootout, Mayfield is set up well for fantasy production. Our projections target 171 passing yards and roughly 1.3 passing touchdowns (16.2 fantasy points) for the veteran. While currently started in only 12% of leagues, the matchup environment and negative game script give him plenty of passing volume. Fantasy managers should view Mayfield as a strong streaming option in single-quarterback formats and a dependable starter in two-quarterback setups.
