Buccaneers @ Chiefs
Team Totals: Bucs 18, Chiefs 27.5
Baker Mayfield’s two worst efforts in yards per attempt occurred against the Broncos (permitting a league-low 5.8 YPA) in Week 3 and most recently the Falcons, averaging 6.6 on a season-high 50 passes trailing by two scores in the fourth quarter sans Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (dislocated ankle). Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo has additionally held every quarterback to less than 275 yards through the air, squeezing Baker as a sell-high QB2 for fear of the team’s systematic collapse. … Sean Tucker was practically benched upon emerging for 17/192/2 as the overall RB1 for Rachaad White (foot) in Week 6, handling nine total touches to Bucky Irving’s 28 and White’s 27 the past two games; White has surfaced as the most appealing option with a backfield-high 47% route rate and ensuing 12.6% target share (for 11/109/3 receiving) in that stint. Mayfield’s 30.4% RB target rate (fourth) without Evans and Godwin boosts White’s and Irving’s floors as neck-and-neck RB3s in the interim. Tucker should be stashed in season-long formats with Bucky reportedly playing (well) through a toe injury. It’s admittedly a forgettable matchup for all in one-game slates since no RB has reached 60 rushing yards against Spags this season.
