Baker Mayfield Throws For 45 Yards In Preseason Debut
2 years agoNewly acquired Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 4-of-7 pass attempts for 45 yards and added three rushing yards in the team's preseason opener against the Washington Commanders on Saturday. Amid a training camp competition with Sam Darnold for the starting gig, Mayfield looked sharp and led the offense to an early first-quarter field goal on his lone drive. Reports out of camp are that Mayfield has the edge in the competition and will most likely be the Week 1 starter. Although both Mayfield and Darnold are likely off the radar in one-quarterback fantasy football leagues, this remains a situation to monitor throughout the preseason. The Panthers' offensive weapons, such as Christian McCaffrey and D.J. Moore, could definitely see a boost in their fantasy value with Mayfield as the QB1.
