A fantasy football no-brainer: Grab Baker Mayfield if you can

The No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft Baker Mayfield (Cleveland) is set to make his first NFL start for the Browns after leading the team on a tremendous come-from-behind win last week.

If available, Mayfield is easily the top quarterback waiver-wire addition this week given his amazing accuracy and explosive skill-set.

Mayfield also raises the fantasy profiles of essentially all the Browns’ skill-position players, particularly wide receiver Jarvis Landry and tight end David Njoku. It’s been a slow start to the season for Njoku (69 yards in three games) but he is a breakout candidate this week.
