News: 2 days agoMayfield (thumb) isn't expected to miss any practice time and is fully on track for Sunday's road matchup against the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Spin: Mayfield injured his right thumb during the fourth quarter of Tampa Bay's win over the Titans in Week 10, but the training staff examined him after the game and found no significant issues. The 2018 first-round pick will need to be at full strength versus San Francisco, a defense that held Trevor Lawrence to 185 yards. no touchdowns and two interceptions and Travis Etienne to just 44 yards from scrimmage. Mayfield has built up some momentum of his own, though, with six touchdowns and just one interception in his last three appearances.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Mayfield signed with the Buccaneers during the offseason and the veteran QB beat out Kyle Trask to replace Tom Brady as the team's starter. Mayfield fell out of favor in both Cleveland and Carolina in recent years, but reignited his career a little bit in subbing for Matthew Stafford in Los Angeles late last season. Unfortunately, that didn't translate to much fantasy success (9.5 PPG) and Mayfield remains without a top-15 fantasy campaign in his career. The 28-year-old is a nonfactor with his legs (career-high 165 rushing yards was set in 2020) and a long shot for fantasy relevance even while holding down the starting gig for a rebuilding Tampa Bay club.
