Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield (ankle) feeling better, expected to play Week 13
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle) is expected to play in Week 13 against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, per head coach Todd Bowles.
What It Means:
Mayfield tweaked his ankle on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts and missed two plays, but he's feeling better and practiced in full for the first practice of Week 13. The 28-year-old quarterback completed 20 of 30 pass attempts for 199 yards versus the Colts, with 2 touchdowns and an interception.
Mayfield is the QB18 in numberFire's Week 13 fantasy rankings and our models project him for 14.9 FanDuel points, with 215.2 passing yards, 1.24 touchdowns, 0.8 interceptions, 4.4 carries, and 16.1 rushing yards. The Panthers are allowing the fourth-fewest FanDuel points per game to quarterbacks this season, but that's mostly because they're getting gashed on the ground. Their pass defense is 21st in numberFire's opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings.
