Quarterback
Baker Mayfield: Mayfield completed 14-of-21 passes for 218 yards (10.4 Y/A) and a pair of touchdowns last week, bouncing back from two down weeks and a week off off-field turmoil surrounding his relationship with Odell Beckham.
Mayfield now is third in the NFL in yards per completion (12.8 yards) and fifth in yards per pass attempt (8.5 yards), but he has also had just two weeks inside of the top-half of weekly scoring at the position since he is 33rd at the position in attempts per game (28.1) and 31st in dropbacks per game (33.3).
Mayfield has regularly made a habit of torching the Bengals, but now faces a New England defense that is third in the NFL in points allowed per attempt (0.35), third in completion rate (59.6%), and 10th in yards allowed per attempt (7.1%), leaving Mayfield as a 2QB option.
