Prince J. Grimes, For The WinSun, November 30, 2025 at 2:59 PM UTC·1 min readBaker Mayfield sat out the second half of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' loss to the Los Angeles Rams last week due to a sprain in his non-throwing shoulder, leaving his status for this week's game against the Arizona Cardinals questionable.
It doesn't appear as though Mayfield will miss any time, though. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the quarterback is expected to play Sunday as the Bucs attempt to snap a three-game skid that has them just a half-game ahead of the Panthers in the NFC South.

Should I start Baker Mayfield in fantasy?
Mayfield had been a fringe fantasy starter all year, and that was before the injury. With no teams on a bye, you probably have a better starting option. If not, you can certainly do a lot worse than Mayfield, though teams typically find more success on the ground vs. the Cardinals.
