Some words I thought I would never say.

I just made a trade (cleared today) Where I received Baker Mayfield for A. Gibson.

Who would you start this week. My league gets points for completions.
Baker Mayfield or Pat Mahomes! :oops:

I know standard thinking this is an easy choice.
but Mahomes hasnt done well for me really at all so far this season & Mayfield has been killing it.

Do I dare Bench Mahomes (coming off a bye) vs. SF for Mayfield vs. Bal. this week?

I know it sounds crazy, but......

Geesh Gibson sucks but I guess in some of my leagues Baker is still on the WW which is crazy

Mahomes has been average this year.

Mayfield has been elite from a fantasy perspective. Baker has played BAL a ton in his career. He's a hit or miss but the BAL secondary had some trouble this year and TB's offense seems to be rolling. I think if you have Baker at this point he deserves a start almost every week. One thing I am looking for is if White gets less carries that Irving/Tucker might be more reliable. It seems they trust Baker to throw and his weapons are getting open in this offense.

I heard a stat that Mahomes has finished as a top 12 QB exactly 1 time since like week 8 of last year.

He is the best QB in the league. Might be the GOAT some day.

But it is time to stop thinking of him as an elite fantasy QB.

At least for now.

I'm starting Baker and Goff over Mahomes on my super flex team, not crazy at all.

Baker QB2
Goff QB17
Mahomes QB24

Shit, I sent Darnold and my 10th fer Baker and a 12th....................and feel like it was a Home Run! Feel like you hit a grand Slam!
I'd start Baker TBH.

Baker is a top 3 QB, depending on your settings, he's #1 or 2 in most of mine so far.

Who are you starting over him at this point?
Jayden but only bc it’s a keeper league. Baker deserves to be on any roster whether you start him or not though

Thanks guys.
I made the switch as soon as my trade went through.
I was just wondering if I was gonna have the Tuesday regrets for benching Mahomes LOL

Just seeing if someone was gonna make a good enough point to change my mind.
Sounds like you guys are seeing it the way I do. Still looks weird seeing Mahomes sitting on my bench voluntarily :D

The crazy part isnt benching Mahomes. The crazy part is someone trading Baker for Gibson.

Baker.

Mahomes hasn't had the fantasy numbers since KC became a more defensive grind it out kind of team. He wasn't a good fantasy QB because of it last year and its continuing this year. Though he was like QB1 (or close to it, can't remember) just 2 years ago so he may get back to form at some point but if you got better options (Baker is right now), play them while you wait for him to find that form

Nick Chubb vs Cincinnati
Kareem Hunt at San Fran
Joe Mixon at GB
David Montgomery at Minny
Travis Etienne vs NE
Rachaad White bs Baltimore.

Pick three.

When does Nick Chubb become a must start?

easily Monty, Mixon

and then i would start hunt...

Chubb is a wait and see... you gotta remember the Browns look like one of the worst teams in football... i doubt that they will push chubb for this season...
