With those 11 passing attempts, Mayfield had an aDOT of 4.67 (third-lowest) and a 2.49 average time to throw (seventh-lowest).
STACKED’s take
Mayfield's thumb injury limits him to 11 attempts; expect another down week vs. Atlanta.
Baker Mayfield posted only 6.7 fantasy points (QB26) in his return last week, with his thumb injury clearly not fully healed. He threw only 11 times for 64 passing yards (5.8 yards per attempt) and one passing touchdown. His aDOT was 4.67 (third-lowest) and average time to throw was 2.49 seconds (seventh-lowest), indicating Tampa Bay is protecting him with limited volume. Despite the short-area approach, Mayfield had only 36.4% of throws deemed highly accurate. Atlanta has allowed the 13th-fewest yards per attempt, tenth-lowest passing touchdown rate, and 14th-lowest EPA per dropback over their last five games, with the 13th-best pressure rate and ninth-best quick pressure rate. The source expects another down week for Mayfield.
