From the article

Mayfield posted only 6.7 fantasy points (QB26) in his return to the huddle last week, and his thumb obviously isn't 100%. He threw the ball only 11 times for 64 passing yards (5.8 yards per attempt) and a passing score. With those 11 passing attempts, he had an aDOT of 4.67 (third-lowest) and a 2.49 average time to throw (seventh-lowest). Despite the short area passing approach, he had only 36.4% of his throws deemed as highly accurate. The source states: "With Tampa Bay protecting Mayfield with limited passing volume, it's impossible to feel good about plugging him into a fantasy lineup." Atlanta has allowed the 13th-fewest yards per attempt, the tenth-lowest passing touchdown rate, and the 14th-lowest EPA per dropback over their last five games, with the 13th-best pressure rate and the ninth-best quick pressure rate. The source expects another down week for Mayfield.

Mayfield's thumb injury limits volume; expect another down week vs. Falcons.
