Baker Mayfield - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football
3 years agoCleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is expected to get the start against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8. Mayfield missed his team's last game, the Thursday night contest in Week 7, thanks to a left shoulder injury. After getting in a full practice on Friday, he appears to be feeling well enough to suit up in an important divisional matchup against the Steelers on Sunday. Pittsburgh has been a neutral matchup for opposing signal-callers in 2021, allowing the 14th fewest fantasy points per game to the position through six games. Even without the injury to his non-throwing shoulder, Mayfield's fantasy upside has been capped by a run-first offense in Cleveland. Fantasy gamers should treat him as a low-end QB2 for Week 8 against Pittsburgh.
