Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Valiant effort in loss
Baker Mayfield completed 23 of 31 passes for 200 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed four times for 20 yards in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.Playing with a preseason-like receiver corps that was missing Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) and Jalen McMillan (hamstring), Mayfield put together an admirable effort and came within striking distance of a victory on the road against the defending champions. The 2018 first overall pick battled throughout the night while facing a Chiefs defense that consistently forced short throws, leading to Mayfield's lowest passing yardage total since Week 5 and snapping his three-game streak of 300-yard performances. Mayfield's pair of touchdown tosses went to Cade Otton (11 yards) and Ryan Miller (one yard), the latter coming with 27 seconds remaining in regulation to erase a 24-17 deficit. The veteran signal-caller did extend his streak of games with multiple touchdown passes to six, but he draws another unenviable matchup against the 49ers at home Week 10.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Impressive yardage despite absences
Baker Mayfield completed 37 of 50 passes for 330 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing three times for 11 yards in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.Mayfield didn't allow the fact he was working without top receivers Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (IR-knee) to faze him, as he finished with his third straight 300-yard performance and third-highest passing yardage total of the campaign as well. Mayfield also extended his streak of games with at least three touchdown passes to four contests, connecting with Cade Otton (five, four yards) and Rachaad White (18 yards) for his trio of scoring tosses Sunday. Mayfield isn't expected to get Evans back until Week 12, so he'll be fighting quite the uphill battle in a Week 9 road matchup against the Chiefs on Monday night, Nov. 4.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Big numbers in Week 7 loss
Baker Mayfield completed 31 of 45 passes for 370 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions and added five rushes for 22 yards in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 41-31 loss to the Ravens on Monday night. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.Fantasy managers certainly won't take exception with Mayfield's final numbers, but they were in large part a byproduct of a game script that saw the Buccaneers trailing by 24 entering the fourth quarter thanks to 34 unanswered points by Baltimore. He also lost Mike Evans to a hamstring injury in the first half shortly after connecting with him on a 25-yard scoring strike, making the quarterback's final yardage tally, his highest of the season, all the more noteworthy. Mayfield has now eclipsed 300 yards on three occasions overall in the first seven games, and by adding scoring tosses of 11 and 23 yards to Rachaad White in the fourth quarter, the veteran signal-caller now has at least three touchdown passes in three consecutive contests. However, Mayfield could be hard-pressed to keep his strong stretch of production going in a key Week 8 divisional clash against the Falcons; in addition to a potential Evans absence, Chris Godwin was carted off in the final minute of Monday's game with what Scott Smith of the team's official site relays could be a dislocated ankle that head coach Todd Bowles expressed concern about in his postgame press conference.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Four TDs in wild win
Baker Mayfield completed 24 of 36 passes for 325 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 29 yards.Mayfield authored his third straight multi-touchdown tally while putting together his second 300-yard effort of the campaign as well. The veteran signal-caller also matched his season high in touchdown passes, connecting with Chris Godwin (four, 55 yards), Sean Tucker (36 yards) and Cade Otton (eight yards) for his quartet of scoring tosses. Mayfield did get shaken up at the end of a late third-quarter drive, but because the Buccaneers punted on the next play, he never missed a play and led a touchdown drive on the next possession. Mayfield's three interceptions were his most in a game during his season-plus Tampa Bay tenure, but he'll still head into a tough Week 7 home matchup against the Ravens on Monday night, Oct. 21 with plenty of momentum.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Trio of touchdowns in loss
Baker Mayfield completed 19 of 24 passes for 180 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding six rushes for 42 yards in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.Mayfield put together a crisp, mistake-free performance, and after completing touchdown passes of two and 23 yards to Mike Evans and a four-yard scoring toss to Sterling Shepard in the first half, he appeared to have a good chance of leading the Buccaneers to another victory. However, Mayfield could only help his team muster a pair of field goals over the last two quarters, with Tampa Bay's other three possessions during that span ending in a pair of punts and a Bucky Irving fumble. Despite the disappointing team outcome, Mayfield delivered for fantasy managers once again with his third multi-touchdown effort of the season, and he'll take a stellar 11:2 TD:INT into a Week 6 road divisional matchup against the Saints on Sunday, Oct. 13.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Another pristine effort in win
Baker Mayfield completed 30 of 47 passes for 347 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed four times for 10 yards and another score in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.Mayfield's numbers tell the tale of yet another highly efficient afternoon for the veteran in coordinator Liam Coen's offense, and the 2018 first overall pick was especially surgical during a first half, when the Buccaneers racked up 24 first-half points. Mayfield connected with eight different targets overall on the afternoon, hitting Mike Evans and Trey Palmer (concussion) for first-quarter touchdown passes of two and 15 yards, respectively. Mayfield then added his own one-yard scoring rush in the second quarter, and his trio of trips to the end zone Sunday gives him 10 total touchdowns through four games. Mayfield won't have to wait long to add to that tally, as the Buccaneers face off with the Falcons in a Week 5 Thursday night divisional battle.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Stymied by Broncos defense in loss
Baker Mayfield completed 25 of 33 passes for 163 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.Mayfield's final line, which included an average of 4.9 yards per attempt, underscores how surprisingly challenging an afternoon it was for him and his offensive teammates against an aggressive Broncos defense. He took a whopping seven sacks for a total loss of 31 yards in the defeat, and he had trouble establishing any sort of rhythm thanks to the constant pressure. The 2018 first overall pick didn't complete a pass longer than 13 yards, leaving his five-yard touchdown pass to Chris Godwin late in the second quarter as the one of the few highlights of his afternoon. Mayfield now has been held under 200 yards passing in consecutive games, an unfavorable trend he'll look to reverse in a tough Week 4 visit from the Eagles next Sunday.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Passing and rushing TD in win
Baker Mayfield completed 12 of 19 passes for 185 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions. He also rushed five times for 34 yards and a touchdown.Mayfield connected with Chris Godwin for a 41-yard touchdown to put the Tampa Bay Buccaneers up by seven in the second quarter, but he threw an interception on his final pass of the first half. The first overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft showed off his underrated mobility with consecutive 11-yard runs in the third quarter, the latter of which culminated in a go-ahead touchdown. Despite Mayfield's modest passing numbers and the inability of Tampa Bay's offensive line to contain Aidan Hutchinson, who sacked Mayfield three times in the first quarter en route to 4.5 sacks overall, Mayfield did enough to lead his team to victory. The Buccaneers are 2-0 heading into a Week 3 home game against the Broncos.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Stars in blowout victory
Baker Mayfield completed 24 of 30 pass attempts for 289 yards and four touchdowns while rushing for 21 yards on three attempts in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders.Mayfield was nearly flawless in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2024 home opener, missing just six pass attempts and committing no turnovers in a comfortable win. The 2018 first-overall pick looked the part in his second season starting for Tampa Bay, feeding top wideouts Mike Evans (5/61/2) and Chris Godwin (8/83/1) the football early and often. Mayfield looks like a great value pick after being drafted in the mid to late rounds in fantasy drafts. Now we will witness how this offense performs on the road against a tough Detroit defense next Sunday.
