Tampa Bay @ Dallas
Team Totals: Buccaneers 26.5, Cowboys 22
Most recently torching the Chargers for season-high marks in completion rate (81.4%) and yards per attempt (10.6), Baker Mayfield continued his post-bye success with 9.3 YPA (second only to Josh Allen’s 9.6) over the last month and another top-seven finish — his third in the last four games and ninth in 11 starts with Mike Evans. Ignore New York’s 20-point letdown in Jerry World on Thanksgiving: Dallas has leaked 44, 28, 47, 30, 34, 34, and 27 points to seven surrounding opponents at home. … Fantasy’s RB7, RB3, RB1, and RB18 in his last four finished games, Bucky Irving (back/hip) practiced in full on Friday ahead of this juicy on-paper spot: The Cowboys remain one of only four defenses allowing 2.2 yards per attempt before contact and one of five permitting a 6% rate of explosive (15 yards) runs. Irving’s ceiling is higher than perceived given his 28 touches to Rachaad White’s 12 the last time Bucky logged a full practice. With double-digit touches in five consecutive appearances, White himself can sporadically chip in as an RB2/3.
