Been trying to figure out why CBS Sportsline Fantasy has been consistently rating Baker Mayfield way ahead of Goff in recent weeks.
I've got both available in my title game. Mayfield hosting Carolina Sunday at noon, Goff traveling to SF on Monday night. Standard scoring for passers except 5-pt passing TDs and no deduction for interceptions.
I know fantasy-site scoring predictions are thought to be garbage. But why does CBS have Goff at 17.7 and Mayfield at 23.3? That's a big spread, not a pick-em. CBS has predicted them at a similar split the last two weeks, and Goff bested Mayfield's score both times (by a ton Week 15). And Mayfield, last week, started slow and had to have a furious second half to put up a decent FF score in our league.
Is starting Goff an easy no-brainer here, with him being so hot lately? Or is there a good argument for starting Mayfield? Will the "Detroit wants revenge" factor matter more than Monday night weather in the Bay (or is it not as big a thing for football in Santa Clara as it once was for baseball in Candlestick?
