Baker Mayfield's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle, ribs) was listed as a limited participant in the team's practice on Friday. Mayfield was a non-participant on Thursday after injuring his ankle in the Week 18 win over the Carolina Panthers. With one more day of practice leading up to Monday night's wild-card playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles, it would be a huge surprise if Mayfield wasn't ready to play in the first round of the playoffs. The 28-year-old heads into the postseason coming off two down performances in a row, but luckily he'll have one of the best matchups for a QB on wild-card weekend against an Eagles defense that allowed the second-most fantasy points per game (20.8) to the QB position in 2033, behind only the Washington Commanders. Mayfield is a worthwhile low-cost DFS sleeper this week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle, ribs) is dealing with multiple injuries heading into the wild-card playoff game on Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles and was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice. Mayfield has been gutting through some injuries the past couple weeks and picked up a new one this past Sunday in the Week 18 win over the Carolina Panthers. The 28-year-old is fully expected to play on Monday night, but the Bucs are clearly giving him some extra time off heading into the playoffs. He hasn't looked very good the last two weeks following a strong stretch of play. The good news is he'll be faced with one of the best matchups for a QB during wild-card weekend, which will make him a heavy consideration as a DF sleeper at a lower cost against Philly.
