Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Tending to knee issue
Baker Mayfield didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.In addition to Mayfield, three key skill-position players for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- wideout Mike Evans (rest), tight end Cade Otton (knee) and wideout Sterling Shepard (foot) -- sat out the first practice of Week 16 prep, while running back Bucky Irving (back/hip) was a limited participant. As a result, the group will be monitored as the week goes on to see who will be available for Mayfield in the event the quarterback also is cleared to play Sunday at Dallas.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Throws four TDs in statement win
Baker Mayfield completed 22 of 27 pass attempts for 288 yards, four touchdowns and one interception while rushing twice for 25 yards in Sunday's 40-17 rout of the Chargers.Mayfield posted a stellar 135.3 passer rating en route to a lopsided victory between cross-conference playoff hopefuls. The four scores also helped the 2018 first-overall pick set a new high-water mark in touchdown passes (32) in a single season. Mayfield continues to prove that last year's breakout with Tampa Bay was no fluke, as he is now 383 yards away from recording consecutive 4,000-yard campaigns. It would take a season-best effort against the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Week 16 to accomplish the feat, but the late-blooming QB makes for a strong fantasy play whether or not he hits the 4K mark in passing yards next Sunday.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Perseveres through picks in win
Baker Mayfield completed 18 of 29 passes for 295 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions while adding two rushes for 12 yards in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.Mayfield ultimately finished with an impressive yardage and touchdown total, but his road to those numbers was rocky at times. The veteran signal-caller took four sacks from an aggressive Raiders defense and tossed a pair of first-half interceptions following a fast start. Prior to the miscues, Mayfield had capped off the Buccaneers' first two drives with touchdown passes to Jalen McMillan (15 yards) and Rachaad White (five yards). He also came on late after Tampa Bay's first two second-half drives ended in punts, capping off a five-play game-sealing drive with a 29-yard scoring strike to McMillan. Mayfield does have four interceptions over his last two games, but he's also tossed four touchdowns in that span going into a Week 15 road matchup against the Chargers.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Practices in full Thursday
Baker Mayfield (Achilles/knee) practiced fully Thursday.Mayfield was absent for two plays during this past Sunday's overtime win at Carolina. Afterward, coach Todd Bowles relayed that Mayfield was dealing with some soreness after he was cleated in the back of his right leg by a Panthers defender, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers also weren't worried about the quarterback's Week 14 availability, per Jenna Laine of ESPN.com. On Wednesday's estimated injury report, Mayfield was listed as full at the team's walkthrough with Achilles and knee issues. He followed that up one day later with another uncapped session, thereby paving the way for him to continue to lead Tampa Bay's offense Sunday against the Raiders.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Ready to practice in full
Head coach Todd Bowles said that Baker Mayfield (leg) will be a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Brianna Dix of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' official site reports.Bowles confirmed that Mayfield was dealing with right leg soreness following the team's 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers this past Sunday, after the quarterback was spotted limping around in the locker room following the contest. On a positive note, Mayfield looks to have mostly moved past the injury, as Bowles noted that the quarterback would have been a full participant even if Tampa Bay had held a more traditional practice session to kick off Week 14 prep. Assuming he experiences no complications during practices Thursday and Friday, Mayfield should head into the weekend without a designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders. The home matchup with a 2-10 Las Vegas squad provides Mayfield with a good bounce-back opportunity after the Panthers contained him to 235 passing yards and one touchdown while intercepting him twice in Week 13.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Nursing sore leg
Head coach Todd Bowles said that Baker Mayfield is dealing with some soreness after being cleated in the back of his right leg during Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers anticipate the quarterback being ready to play in the team's Week 14 game versus the Raiders, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.Mayfield missed just two of the Buccaneers' offensive snaps in the overtime victory, completing 21 of 33 pass attempts for 235 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while carrying three times for eight yards on the day. The 29-year-old looks to have avoided anything serious, but he was spotted walking around with a limp in the locker room following the contest. Though the Buccaneers expect Mayfield to be healthy enough to play through the injury next Sunday at home versus the Raiders, his practice activity could be more limited than usual leading up to that contest.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Another impressive showing in win
Baker Mayfield completed 24 of 30 passes for 294 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed four times for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one, and recovered a loose ball as well.Mayfield had an eventful afternoon in the lopsided win, bouncing back from consecutive lackluster efforts through the air to post his highest sub-300-yard total of the campaign. Mayfield did see a season-long streak of games with at least one touchdown pass snapped, but he had an even more direct hand in a score with his third rushing touchdown of the season on a leaping 10-yard run just before halftime. Mayfield welcomed Mike Evans back from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury by connecting with him on five occasions for 68 yards, and the veteran signal-caller also suffered a scare on a neck stinger in the fourth quarter but didn't miss a play. The 2018 first overall pick lines up for another productive afternoon when the Bucs visit the Panthers for a Week 13 divisional clash.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Stymied repeatedly in loss
Baker Mayfield completed 18 of 29 passes for 116 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and added three rushing yards on three carries in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He also committed three fumbles, recovering two.Mayfield averaged just 4.0 yards per attempt and was sacked twice, and he ultimately was frustrated repeatedly while working against a talented defense with a short-handed pass-catching corps. Mayfield couldn't facilitate anything more than a 39-yard performance for his pass catchers on the way to his lowest yardage total of the season. However, Mayfield was able to drive Tampa Bay into position for a game-tying field goal late before San Francisco answered with one of its own to win the game. Mayfield and the Bucs now head into a Week 11 bye, and the veteran signal-caller should have Mike Evans (hamstring) at his disposal when Tampa Bay returns to action against the Giants at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 24.
