1. Baker Mayfield

No changes for Baker Mayfield this week as he looks like the best quarterback out there amongst all of the other first-round rookies. Mayfield finished up his first start in the NFL with 295-yards and two touchdowns. The Cleveland Browns engaged in a shootout with the Oakland Raiders on the road and Mayfield stepped up to the challenge.

Although Mayfield looked good, he wasn’t perfect. He threw two picks on Sunday, which surely didn’t help the Browns out in their tough loss. But honestly, turnovers are going to happen when a rookie quarterback is forced to throw over 40 passes in his first start. So he didn’t finish with the win, but I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t intruiged with Mayfield after his big performance this past Sunday.
