Sure, the final fantasy numbers and rank for Mayfield's last two seasons are nearly identical, but by every metric, and the famous "eye test", Mayfield was an infinitely better player during the 2020 season. Credit new head coach Kevin Stefanski with designing an offense that played off Mayfield's strengths (timing throws out of the pocket, and play action), as the 3rd year pro cut his interceptions by 60%, improved his completion percentage, and overcame a shaky start to the year by leading his team to the 2nd round of the playoffs. So what does the gunslinger from Oklahoma have for a follow-up in 2021?
For the first time in a long while there are true expectations clinging to the Browns and Mayfield. After a near run to the AFC title game last season, many expect this team to compete for a shot at the Super Bowl. The return to health of OBJ and the resigning of Kareem Hunt are the big "additions" to an offense that returns largely intact. Mayfield found a comfort zone in this offense last year and righted a career on the brink, but that's the negative in this fantasy equation. Despite the quality season by NFL standards, we judge numbers here in the fantasy world, and by the important ones, Mayfield was no better than 17th in the NFL in attempts, completions, and yardage and 13th in touchdown passes. Stefanski's offense made great use of the play action, as Mayfield was very effective on deep throws on run fakes. Therein lies the problem. This is a run-first offense led by perhaps the best tailback duo in the NFL. The mauling run game allows Cleveland to control tempo, limit turnovers, and churn the clock late in the game. While the return of OBJ will give the passing game juice (if he stays humble in his role), I'm not sure it's enough to push Baker into the QB1 category. With such depth at the position, and little to offer as a runner, I think Mayfield tops out as a strong fantasy back-up.

 Baker Mayfield Out for Week 18
Will undergo surgery on torn labrum
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Jan 4, 1:51 pm
|  | Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield won't play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the AFC North champion Cincinnati Bengals, coach Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday on Zoom. Mayfield will undergo surgery on the completely torn labrum he suffered in his left, non-throwing shoulder in Week 2 “as soon as possible,” Stefanski said. (Akron Beacon Journal)
FFToday's Take: This makes sense considering the Browns are out of the playoff picture. Case Keenum is expected to start against the Bengals. Keenum posted a 21-33, 199-1-0 line against the Broncos in Week 7. He's nothing more than a mid-range QB2 in Week 18.
| Mayfield, Keenum remain out, Nick Mullens to start
Browns QBs' can't get out of Covid protocol
By: Mike Krueger | Mon Dec 20, 10:11 am
| | #Browns QBs Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum didn’t test out of COVID protocols, so it’ll be Nick Mullens starting today against the #Raiders, per sources. (Tom Silverstein on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Raiders-Browns game originally scheduled for Saturday was moved to Monday night given the Browns had 20-plus players on the Covid list. Mayfield said he's asymptomatic but obviously he hasn't been able to produce a negative test. Without Jarvis Landry, expect to see a lot of Nick Chubb and D'Ernest Johnson against the Raiders.
| LV @ CLE moved to Monday night, 5 PM ET
Browns currently have 24 players on the COVID-19 list
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Dec 17, 3:35 pm
| | Raiders at Browns now will be played Monday night at 5 pm ET, per sources. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Due to a high number of positive Covid tests for the Browns, the game between Cleveland and Las Vegas has been moved to Monday night. The Browns currently have 24 players on the COVID-19 list, which include Baker Mayfield, Case Keenum and Jarvis Landry. The Raiders are relatively unscathed in the Covid department... for now.
| Next up on the Covid-19 list: Baker Mayfield
Case Keenum expected to start
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Dec 15, 9:46 am
| | Browns’ QB Baker Mayfield is said to “feel completely normal”, per a source, but he has tested positive for COVID. Now Case Keenum is in line to start Saturday vs. the Raiders, with Nick Mullens as his backup. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Assuming Keenum doesn't land on the list between now and Sunday he will get the start for the Browns against the Raiders. With Jarvis Landry already on the list and Kareem Hunt out due to injury, the Browns will be very short-handed in Week 15. Expect to see a lot of Nick Chubb.
