Mayfield completed 14 of 29 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't a productive day for the 28-year-old quarterback, but he did connect with Mike Evans for the longest TD of the receiver's career, a 75-yard catch-and-run in the third quarter that put Tampa Bay in the lead for good. Mayfield's fantasy ceiling remains low -- he has just one 300-yard game this season, and only one with more than two passing touchdowns -- but given the state of the QB landscape in 2023, his stability has some value heading into a Week 14 matchup with the Falcons that could have a big impact on the NFC South title race.

Mayfield (ankle) was a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.

EDGE Analysis

Mayfield injured his ankle near the end of the Buccaneers' opening possession this past Sunday at Indianapolis, missing two snaps in the process. He was able to play with the ankle heavily taped thereafter on his way to 199 yards, two touchdowns and one interception on 20-for-30 passing, three carries for 14 yards and two fumbles (one lost). On Monday, an MRI on Mayfield's ankle returned negative, and as of Wednesday, head coach Todd Bowles told Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site that the quarterback felt much better and was in line to suit up Sunday against the Panthers. With a full listing on the team's first Week 13 practice report, Mayfield appears on pace to do exactly that, but it wouldn't surprise if he endures some on-field restrictions before week's end to manage the issue.

The Buccaneers are optimistic that Mayfield (ankle) will be able to suit up versus the Panthers on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mayfield injured his ankle on a quarterback sneak at the goal line in first quarter of this past Sunday's loss to the Colts, but he missed only a couple snaps before returning to the game. He may be limited in practices leading into the Week 13 matchup with Carolina, but there's reason to be optimistic about his chances of playing. He underwent an MRI on Monday, with negative results confirming he avoided any ligament damage. Mayfield has thrown exactly two passing touchdowns in four of his last five appearances, making him a possible streaming option for fantasy purposes against a lackluster Carolina secondary.

Coach Todd Bowles said Monday that MRI results on Mayfield's ankle came back negative but that the quarterback is feeling sore after Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Colts, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mayfield injured his ankle while converting a quarterback sneak on Tampa Bay's opening drive, causing Kyle Trask to fill in for two plays. He ultimately completed 20 of 30 passes for 199 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, plus three carries for 14 yards. Mayfield also fumbled twice, with Indianapolis recovering one. It's encouraging that the veteran quarterback's MRI showed no ligament damage, but it still will be worth monitoring Mayfield's practice status as he works to get healthy in time to face the Panthers in Week 13.

Mayfield completed 20 of 30 passes for 199 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Buccaneers' 27-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 14 yards and committed two fumbles, losing one.

EDGE Analysis

Mayfield suffered an ankle injury while nearly capping the Buccaneers' seven-minute-plus opening drive with a score on a one-yard quarterback sneak, and he ended up sitting out the next two plays while momentary fill-in Kyle Trask nearly tossed a touchdown to Chris Godwin. Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports Mayfield's ankle was heavily taped upon his return for Tampa Bay's next possession, which ended with an interception by Ronnie Harrison. Mayfield went on to author his fourth two-touchdown effort in his last five contests with a pair of scoring tosses to Mike Evans, but he couldn't prevent his team's third straight loss. The veteran signal-caller will look to get Tampa Bay back in the win column in a favorable home matchup versus the Panthers in Week 13.

Mayfield completed 29 of 45 passes for 246 yards and one touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

He also gained five rushing yards on three carries, and lost a fumble. Mayfield did toss a one-yard TD to Mike Evans late in the second quarter, but otherwise he struggled to get much going against an aggressive San Francisco defense that sacked him four times. The 28-year-old QB had posted a 6:1 TD:INT over his prior three games while facing less daunting opposition, and he'll look to rebound in Week 12 against a Colts squad coming out of its bye having allowed just 10 passing touchdowns in 10 games.

Mayfield (thumb) wasn't listed on the Buccaneers' first Week 11 injury report Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mayfield suffered a right thumb injury during the tail end of this past Sunday's win against the Titans. On Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the Bucs' training staff checked out the appendage and ruled that Mayfield wouldn't miss any practice reps this week. Just two days later, that has come to pass, meaning Mayfield is good to go for a Week 11 road matchup with the 49ers, whose defense ranks 15th against the pass (221.4 yards per game).

Mayfield (thumb) isn't expected to miss any practice time and is fully on track for Sunday's road matchup against the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mayfield injured his right thumb during the fourth quarter of Tampa Bay's win over the Titans in Week 10, but the training staff examined him after the game and found no significant issues. The 2018 first-round pick will need to be at full strength versus San Francisco, a defense that held Trevor Lawrence to 185 yards. no touchdowns and two interceptions and Travis Etienne to just 44 yards from scrimmage. Mayfield has built up some momentum of his own, though, with six touchdowns and just one interception in his last three appearances.

Mayfield said his right thumb feels good after it hit an opposing player's helmet in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 20-6 win over the Titans, Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Knight notes that the Buccaneers called seven straight run plays after Mayfield sustained the injury, followed by the quarterback's last pass attempt of the day (an incompletion) being called with roughly seven minutes still remaining in the contest. Mayfield has looked comfortable in Tampa Bay's offensive scheme recently, and he's on a three-game multi-TD streak, but that streak could be in jeopardy for multiple reasons Week 11, as the Buccaneers will face San Francisco on the road, and the Niners defense just held Trevor Lawrence to 185 yards and zero touchdowns versus two interceptions.

Mayfield completed 18 of 29 passes for 278 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Buccaneers' 20-6 win over the Titans on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 12 yards and committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Mayfield averaged a robust 9.6 yards per attempt and worked around some sacks to deliver another solid fantasy effort. The 2018 first overall pick found Mike Evans and Rachaad White for his two scoring tosses, extending his multi-touchdown streak to three games in the process. Mayfield also exceeded the 270-yard mark for the third time on the campaign, and although he continues to operate with a relatively narrow target pool, he's been a very good fit for coordinator Dave Canales' offense thus far. Mayfield's next assignment will be a stiff test, however, as the Buccaneers travel west to tangle with the 49ers in a Week 11 showdown.
