Baker Mayfield suffered a dislocated right thumb in Sunday's loss to Minnesota and is undergoing an MRI. Because it is his throwing hand, this is one of the most important injuries to monitor entering Week 4. Fantasy managers should not invent a timetable before Tampa Bay knows whether there is accompanying ligament, bone or soft-tissue damage. If Mayfield misses time, Mike Evans, Emeka Egbuka and the passing game lose some ceiling, while Bucky Irving's touch floor could become even more important. Hold Mayfield pending the MRI and prepare a replacement now in superflex leagues.
