This doesn't necessarily mean Mayfield is a top-10 play against the Falcons, but at 25.7% rostered, he does seem to be a bit too available. Mayfield has enjoyed success in recent seasons against Atlanta. Last season, he threw three touchdown passes in the opener, and he passed for 277 yards and two scores in December. In 2024, he threw three touchdown passes in each matchup.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Mayfield undervalued at 25.7% rostered; 3 TDs in each 2023 Atlanta matchup.

Mayfield is undervalued at 25.7% rostered for Week 8 against the Falcons. The source dismisses his low Week 7 volume (11 passes) as a result of game script (Buccaneers led 33-6 at halftime), not injury concerns from his thumb. Mayfield looked fine after missing three games. He has enjoyed success against Atlanta in recent seasons: three TDs in the 2024 opener, 277 yards and two TDs in December 2024, and three TDs in each 2023 matchup. The Falcons permit 271.4 passing yards per game (top-4 worst defense), and Mayfield faces no tough passing defenses on his schedule going forward, including the Falcons and Saints twice.
