Thursday Night Football
Tampa Bay @ Atlanta
Team Totals: Falcons 22.5, Bucs 21
Fantasy’s QB2 (vs. WAS), QB5 (@ DET), QB27 (vs. DEN), and QB3 (vs. PHI) scorer in Weeks 1-4, Baker Mayfield now visits Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz dome to face HC Raheem Morris’ overachieving Falcons defense, which has held enemy passers to the NFL’s seventh-fewest yards per attempt (6.2) and is one of the healthiest units in the league. In what doesn’t profile as a particularly high-scoring affair, Mayfield is a fringe QB1/2. … The Bucs’ backfield should be considered a near-50/50 split after Bucky Irving handled 11 touches compared to Rachaad White’s 12 in Week 4’s win over Philadelphia, and failed feature back White logged 58% of Tampa Bay’s offensive snaps, his lowest playing-time share since 2022. On the season, Irving is averaging 5.8 yards per carry versus White’s lowly 2.8 clip. Atlanta’s loss of every-down MLB Trey Andersen (knee) improves Thursday night’s matchup for both White and Irving. Entrenched in an RBBC, they remain questionable-ceiling flex options in season-long leagues and probably touchdown-dependent dice rolls in single-game DFS.
