Baker Mayfield to switch up Browns snap counts
Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will benefit from varying snap counts, believes head coach Kevin Stefanski.
"Varying those snap counts. Not letting teams time it up. Getting the play in quickly so we can line up and are not up against the clock. Because that is one way to jump, for a defense, they are just staring at that play clock," said Stefanski. Mayfield was benched in the third quarter of the Browns’ Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers after completing 10-of-18 passes for 119 yards, 1 touchdown, and 2 interceptions, including a pick-six in the first quarter. He should have an easier matchup in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The 2018 No. 1 overall pick is averaging just 182.3 passing yards per game and has 7 touchdowns through six contests.
Mayfield is the QB23 in numberFire's Week 7 fantasy rankings. Our models project him for 16.5 FanDuel points with a salary of $7,000 on the main slate. The Bengals are allowing 18.6 FanDuel points per game to opposing quarterbacks.
