Baker Mayfield A QB2 In Week 3 Vs. Chicago
3 years agoCleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield showed impressive accuracy in Week 2, misfiring on just two of 21 pass attempts in a win over the Houston Texans. Mayfield is completing 81.6% of his pass attempts through two games while throwing one touchdown and two interceptions. Mayfield draws a modestly difficult matchup at home against the Chicago Bears in Week 3 as Chicago gave up the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks in 2020 and intercepted Joe Burrow three times last week. It is looking likely that Mayfield will get Odell Beckham Jr. back in Week 3, which will offset Jarvis Landry landing on injured reserve earlier in the week. That being said, the Browns remain a run-heavy offense which has capped Mayfield's upside in fantasy. Treat him as a mid-range QB2.
