Baker Mayfield Is Being Overdrafted in Fantasy Football

Heading into his second season, Baker Mayfield is being selected as a top-five passer, but he's going to have a hard time delivering on that draft cost.

To me, the most exciting moment of the entire 2018 NFL season was in Week 3, when Baker Mayfield stepped onto the field on Thursday Night Football to replace an injured Tyrod Taylor. At that time, the Hue Jackson-led Cleveland Browns were characteristically losing 14-0, and Mayfield engineered a comeback that snapped the Browns' lengthy losing streak.

The direction of the entire Browns franchise has been pointing up since then, and expectations are high for Mayfield's sophomore season -- both for the Browns and for Mayfield in fantasy football.
