Baker Mayfield Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

There's a 70% chance of rain throughout today's Panthers-Buccaneers game. Winds are only expected to come in around 10 mph, though, so weather shouldn't have a big impact on this one. We're not adjusting projections for Carolina or Tampa Bay players.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield needed a late comeback attempt to put up a solid fantasy day completing 31 of 43 for 304 yards and two TDs He also ran three times for 42 yards.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (knee) is not listed on the final Week 16 injury report. He was held out on Wednesday but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. The knee shouldn’t be an issue in Sunday night’s game vs. the Cowboys.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (knee) returned to a full practice on Thursday. It's confirmation that he'll be ready to go for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys. Mayfield sits fifth in the Week 16 QB Rankings.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. "Sounds like more maintenance than anything," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport tweeted. Mayfield should be ready for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys, but we'll keep an eye on him over the next few days.

Buccaneers WR Mike Evans caught eight of 12 targets for 118 yards and a TD. Though QB Baker Mayfield left briefly with an ankle issue, he was able to return and continue to feed Evans the ball.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield suffered an apparent ankle injury on a sack in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. He was down for a couple of minutes but eventually walked off under his own power. We'll update Mayfield's status when we know more. QB Kyle Trask has replaced Mayfield.

Update: Mayfield returned after missing just two snaps.

Buccaneers RBs Bucky Irving, Rachaad White and Sean Tucker along with QB Baker Mayfield all scored a rushing TD against the Giants. Irving ended with 12 carries for 87 yards and caught all six of his targets for 64 yards. White ran the ball 12 times for 37 yards as well as catching his lone target for 10 yards. Tucker scored the first TD of the day with four carries for three yards.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (toe) is not listed on the final Week 10 injury report. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so it looks like he’s dealing with a legitimate injury. But Mayfield never seemed in danger of missing Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers. We’re not considering the toe injury a major factor.

Bucs OC Liam Coen said Thursday that QB Baker Mayfield (toe) "will be fine" for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers. Mayfield did not practice on Wednesday but got a good number of reps in Thursday's walkthrough and was moving around a lot better, per Coen. We'll keep tabs on Mayfield over the next few days, but he seems fine to use as you normally would in Week 10 fantasy lineups.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (toe) did not practice on Wednesday. He seemed to come out of Monday night's loss to the Chiefs OK, so we're guessing that this is more of a rest day. We'll see if Mayfield gets back on the field tomorrow. If he can't play vs. the 49ers on Sunday, Tampa Bay would turn to QB Kyle Trask.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield completed 37-of-50 passes for 330 yards and three TDs. He also had two INTs on the day, but showed that he can produce even without WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Bucs WR Mike Evans is expected to miss the next three games with his hamstring injury, HC Todd Bowles said. Tampa Bay gets the Falcons, Chiefs, and 49ers the next three weeks before a Week 11 bye. It sounds like Evans has a good chance to be back for Week 12.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield threw for 347 yards, 2 TDs, and no INTs in Sunday's lopsided win over the Eagles. Tampa Bay dropped Mayfield back 51 times vs. just 24 designed run plays despite jumping out to a 24-0 lead by the middle of the second quarter. That indicates a plan to target the Philly secondary -- and it worked. The QB added a 1-yard rushing score early in the second quarter.
