2 years agoThe Carolina Panthers officially announced quarterback Baker Mayfield as their starting quarterback for Week 1 of the regular season against his former team, the Cleveland Browns. When the Panthers acquired Mayfield from the Browns, it was presumed that he'd be the starter to open the 2022 season over Sam Darnold and rookie Matt Corral. Mayfield will have his revenge game after being pushed out of Cleveland after a tough 2021 season in which he played most of the year with a torn labrum in his left shoulder, amid a handful of other injuries. The 27-year-old could bounce back with better health, but he also won't have a very long leash if he struggles early on. In fantasy football, Mayfield will be a low-end QB2 option.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
