Baker Mayfield H/L Than 1.5 Passing Touchdowns
People may be scared off because of the injury designation on Mike Evans, but I’m fine here. Baker Mayfield has anchored a rather powerful offense at times, and coming into the week he was atop the NFL in passing touchdowns Chris Godwin immediately will step in with a higher target share if, in fact, Evans is a little banged up, but it won’t hurt nor stop what the Bucs want to do against the Ravens.
This isn’t a typical Ravens secondary, as it has been vulnerable to the pass and incapable of applying consistent pressure. Those don’t bode well for a reinvigorated Mayfield looking to stamp out another secondary with his league-leading — along with Jordan Love — 15 passing touchdowns.
If Evans were healthy, this would be an automatic smash for most people, so fleeing from this projection due to injury makes little sense. The offense still has a few playmakers outside of Godwin — expect some extra targets to Cade Otton and the backfield in the red zone. The reality is Evans will play, and injury tag or not, he’s just another valuable weapon on the field.

Kyler Murray H/L Than 17.85 Fantasy Points
There is nothing more dangerous than Kyler Murray and his Arizona Cardinals fresh off a blowout. The Jekyll and Hyde — there has to be a better reference — team faces a vulnerable Chargers defense, it’s just up to Murray to figure which path to take. Arizona looks to bounce back after being smitten over the head by the Packers. Murray tends to lead the Cardinals when they win, and he’s usually the issue in losses. So long as we are riding the upswing of the Cardinals, we should also tail Murray.
The appeal for fantasy points comes in Murray’s ability to beat the Chargers multiple ways. Looking back a game prior to Green Bay, and he had an easy clear of this projection against the 49ers. We’ve seen limited passing touchdowns balanced by both rushing yards and scores. The Chargers defense is a step down from the level of competition already Arizona has faced. I expect Murray to dominate once again.
