Baker Mayfield A QB2 Vs. Texans
3 years agoCleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off a Week 1 performance where he passed for 321 yards but no touchdowns. Mayfield will look to find the end zone in Week 2's home opener against the Houston Texans. The Texans represent a plus matchup for Mayfield and should give him an opportunity to post a high-end QB2 performance in Week 2. Houston's defense allowed the ninth-most fantasy points per game to the quarterback position in 2020 and allowed Trevor Lawrence to finish as the QB12 in his NFL debut in Week 1. The only concern here is that the Browns get out to a lead and lean on their running backs more than usual, which would cap Mayfield's fantasy upside.
