Tampa Bay @ L.A. Chargers
Team Totals: Chargers 24, Bucs 21.5
Week 15 sets up as one of Baker Mayfield’s toughest spots of the season against a suffocating Chargers defense allowing a league-low 15.9 points per game. Bolts DC Jesse Minter’s unit has yielded the NFL’s second-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.6) and fifth-lowest QB rating (81.3), while crucial Bucs offensive pieces LT Tristan Wirfs (foot/knee), WR Mike Evans (hamstring), and WR Sterling Shepard (foot) each missed most of the practice week. Baker has been a box-score stud, but I’m considering QB1/2 streamers in place of him. … Likely sans Bucky Irving (back/hip), the Bucs figure to turn to Rachaad White as their lead back and Sean Tucker as an 8-11 touches power complement off the bench. The Chargers are near full strength up front defensively with Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa on track to play, however, and have limited fantasy run-game production throughout 2024. White remains a decent volume-based RB2 starter. Tucker is a low-floor flex option.
