3. QB Baker Mayfield vs. Houston Texans

Baker Mayfield looked elite as the Cleveland Browns nearly beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1, falling just short 33-29. Mayfield completed 21-of-28 passes for 321 yards with no touchdowns and a pick. He looked the part of a franchise quarterback.

Mayfield will have a much easier draw in Week 2 going up against the Houston Texans who just gave up 332 yards and three touchdowns to Trevor Lawrence and a horrible Jacksonville offense.

The only concern here would be the Browns blowing it open too early and causing Mayfield to lay off of the gas for the rest of the game. However, with the way Houston played against Jacksonville, they seem to be a competitive team this season.

Mayfield should light up a subpar Houston defense and will be very serviceable as a fantasy quarterback, both in season-long leagues and DFS.
